About this activity

Experience the Amalfi Coast's most iconic highlights from the water on this 8-hour boat tour departing Sorrento. You'll cruise past dramatic cliffs, visit the charming towns of Amalfi and Positano, swim in secluded coves, and enjoy meals and drinks aboard while taking in some of Europe's most breathtaking Mediterranean scenery.

The Amalfi Coast is a true Mediterranean jewel, and there’s no better way to discover it than from the sea. 

Your day begins at 8:15 am at the Achille Lauro Parking Area (Via Correale 25, Sorrento), where you’ll meet your driver and be transferred to the port of Piano di Sorrento. Here, you’ll board a comfortable motorboat and set off along one of the most spectacular coastlines in the Mediterranean.

Sailing along the Sorrento Coast, you’ll admire highlights such as the charming fishing village of Marina Grande, the ancient Roman ruins of the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall cascading directly from the cliffs into the sea. As the cruise continues, the stunning scenery of the Amalfi Coast gradually unfolds, with its sheer cliffs, pastel-colored villages, and turquoise waters.

Your first stop on land is Amalfi, where you’ll enjoy approximately 1.5 hours of free time. Explore the historic center, visit the impressive Cathedral of St. Andrew, browse local artisan shops, or relax with a coffee in the lively piazza overlooking the sea.

Back on board, the journey continues toward Positano, cruising along one of the most scenic stretches of coastline. Along the way, the skipper will stop at secluded coves, giving you the opportunity to swim or snorkel in the clear Tyrrhenian Sea. During the cruise, you’ll enjoy snacks, a light lunch, and drinks, all served on board as you relax under the sun.

In Positano, you’ll have around 1.5 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Wander through its narrow streets lined with boutiques, walk down to the beach, or take in the breathtaking views from the hillside pathways.

After a day filled with sea, culture, and unforgettable scenery, you’ll cruise back to Sorrento. On board, enjoy a farewell limoncello tasting as you return to the centrally located port, within easy reach of the town center.
