THE ROUTE

Sixty kilometers of cliffside coastline

The tour cruises past natural landmarks—Roman ruins at Queen Giovanna’s Baths, the marine reserve of Punta Campanella, the Li Galli isles and the dramatic Fiordo di Furore—providing uninterrupted photo opportunities that are best appreciated from the water.

THE SWIM

Two swimming stops in clear Mediterranean water

Carefully selected by the skipper according to sea and weather, the tour includes two swimming breaks—perfect for snorkeling, cooling off, and experiencing the clarity of Amalfi’s coastal waters.

THE CREW

Local knowledge at the helm

An experienced local skipper manages navigation, chooses the safest, most scenic route and the best swimming spots in real time, balancing comfort and discovery for the shared group experience.

What the day feels like

You board in Sorrento’s Marina Piccola and settle into a relaxed group rhythm: scenic cruising punctuated by anchored swims, stretches for photos as the boat slips past colorful cliffside villages, and scheduled time ashore in Positano and Amalfi to explore. The pace is social and unhurried—designed for sightseeing from the sea with opportunities to snorkel and to step onto land in two of the coast’s most famous towns.
