Seven Hours on the Rim of the Mediterranean: A Private Dayboat Along the Amalfi Coast

Seven Hours on the Rim of the Mediterranean: A Private Dayboat Along the Amalfi Coast.
Set off from Amalfi’s pier for a private, full-day sail along one of Italy’s most photogenic shorelines: cliffs fall to translucent water, grottoes and fjords tuck into shadowed coves, and towns cluster on terraces above narrow beaches. The itinerary is purposely flexible—expect several swimming and snorkeling stops, visits to landmark caves and coastal towns, and time to simply lean into the sea breeze with a drink in hand.
