Overview

Discover the best of the Amalfi Coast and not to be missed highlights on a private boat excursion. This is a great option as well if you are in port on a cruise ship and have one day to really experience all that the coast has to offer. See the coastline through the eyes of a local with your own private boat and captain, swim in the various inlets and bays and check out the natural formations and grottos. The private excursion can customized by allocating the time you have based on what you are most interested in seeing along the itinerary.

Meeting points

Departure from the port at Piazza Della Concordia, which is not far from where cruise ships arrive. Once you exit the cruise ship, take a taxi to the neighboring port (aprox. 5 minutes) or walk (aprox. 20 minutes). Walk to the end of the pier.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Lungomare di Salerno (Pass By)

    Your day begins by meeting your boat and captain at the Salerno tourist port near Piazza della Concordia and the lungomare (waterfront) of Salerno.

  • Vietri sul Mare (Pass By)

    Ceramics, ceramics, ceramics! Vietri is the top producer of the famous Amalfi Coast ceramics. It is a colorful town bordering the city of Salerno.

  • Cetara (Pass By)

    Cetara is the village where the pirates chose to make their base when invading the Amalfi Coast in the 9th century. The village is most known for its fish dishes, specifically tuna and anchovies, recognized throughout all of Italy and now the world

  • Erchie (Pass By)

    Legend says that Erchie was founded by Hercules when he arrived in Italy from Greece. It is a tranquil place to stop for a swim

  • Maiori (Pass By)

    A large beach and sidewalk, (called "lungomare", meaning” along the sea" in Italian) full of shops and cafes. Also stop at Pandora's Grotto, an enchanting natural sea cave.

  • Spiaggia Di Minori (Pass By)

    Stop for free time in Minori if you would like to see the ruins of an ancient Roman villa or stop for something sweet from the famous Sal de Riso bakery.

  • Amalfi Coast (Pass By)

    You will cruise along the heart of this impressive coastline, stopping at the villages of your choice, swimming, sea caves, and more. Hungry? At lunchtime the boat can pull into one of the family owned seaside restaurants. After enjoying a local lunch, re-board to continue the excursion. Expect a fun and relaxing day!

  • Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto) (Pass By)

    Stop for a tour inside this large grotto on the Amalfi Coast known for its emerald green water. (Visiting the grotto is optional and the entrance fee is not included in this excursion.)

  • Fiordo Di Furore (Pass By)

    A small, secluded inlet carved into towering cliffs. Above the fiord is an impressive stone arch bridge, part of the coastal road that connects Amalfi and Positano, providing stunning views down into the cove. Tiny fishermen’s houses, painted in bright colors, are scattered along the rocks, adding to the picturesque setting and hinting at the area's past as a working fishing village.

    The most famous town on the Amalfi Coast, a bustling village with a beautiful cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew and home to five star hotels, shops, restaurants and an old paper mill/museum which produces organic paper.

Amazing!!

Published on Aug, 2024

From booking this excursion to the skipper, Michele, everything was perfect. Highly, Highly recommend. Cannot wait to go back and do it again!

Spectacular ! Do not miss these views

Published on Jul, 2024

Amazing day and tour along Amalfi. Boat was beautiful and captain Enzo was so nice and enjoyable. Stopped for several swims and an amazing lunch spot recommended by captain. This is a relaxing yet unbelievable way to see Amalfi. Would highly recommend !!

Highly recommended!

Published on Jul, 2024

5 stars, highly recommended! Our driver Enzo was waiting for us on time with a cooler full of cold drinks (water, sodas, white wine). He tailored our day to our preferences. We wanted to stop in Amalfi and have lunch there. He suggested an amazing local bakery that had the best lemon cake I ever had. We then did a stop in Positano which was super crowded but it was great to have our own boat so we could leave when we wanted to. During the boat ride, Enzo pointed out many interesting points of view around the coast including a grotto he took us in! All in all, I highly recommend doing this!

Amazing experience! Must do in Amalfi

Published on May, 2024

Serena and Salvatore were amazing, boat was beautiful, and view was breath taking. Tour was 6 hours exploring caves / coast. We stopped for a delicious lunch. Could have stayed on that boat 6 more hours! 10/10

Best way to experience the Amalfi coast

Published on Oct, 2023

This is the way to see the Amalfi coast. We got off the cruise boat and they met us at the next dock. Beautiful boat compared to all the other ones available. Booking a cattle boat was nearly just as expensive and this was a luxury experience, Champaign, private captain and host. Went anywhere we wanted though we deferred to their experience.
