Insider tips
- ★Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard—the Mediterranean sun reflects intensely off the water and snorkeling involves prolonged sun exposure
- ★Wear water shoes or bring flip-flops that won't slip on wet boat decks; the boat moves frequently between swimming stops
- ★Arrive at pickup with a light breakfast already eaten, as the boat departs early and lunch isn't included—pack snacks or budget for Amalfi/Positano restaurants
- ★Book ahead in shoulder season (May, September–October) for calmer seas and fewer crowds than summer
Good to know
- •Hotel pickup and return included from Sorrento area; confirm meeting location at booking
- •Swimwear, towel, and waterproof bag recommended; secure valuables as shared boat means limited storage
- •Not wheelchair accessible due to boat boarding and multiple embarkation points; swimming/snorkeling requires moderate mobility
- •No meals included; bring water and snacks, or budget €15–25 per person for restaurant meals in Amalfi or Positano
Who it's for
Beach and snorkeling enthusiasts seeking pristine Mediterranean swimming spotsCouples and small groups wanting an intimate alternative to large cruise-ship visitsPhotography lovers—Positano and Amalfi are among Europe's most photogenic villagesNature and coastal scenery fans who prefer water-level views of cliffsides and hidden bays
Best time to visit
May to October offers warmest water and clearest skies; June–August is busiest and hottest. September–October or late May provide the best balance of weather, water temperature (still 20–22°C), and fewer tourists. Early morning departure (typical for Amalfi tours) means departing Sorrento before 8 a.m.
