Outing Highlights
A compact coastal run from Positano to Vietri
This private half-day itinerary links Positano to Praiano, the Fiordo di Furore and the historic port town of Amalfi, continuing past Maiori and Minori before reaching Vietri sul Mare—allowing shore stops and on-board options within a four-hour window.
Fiordo di Furore’s narrow inlet
One of the coast’s standouts, the narrow Fiordo di Furore slices into the cliffs; the tour sails through this dramatic channel, a compact example of the Amalfi Coast’s rugged seaside geology and vertical towns.
Amalfi and Vietri: history and craft
The route includes a call at Amalfi—an ancient maritime republic with a cathedral that dominates its main square—and a stop in Vietri, long known for Italian art pottery and ceramics shopping.
