Slip away from the crowds aboard a private 40hp speedboat and discover the Amalfi Coast as it was meant to be seen — from the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea. Glide past sea caves, hidden grottos, and the pastel cliffs of Positano in absolute privacy.
What to expect
Your skipper departs directly from Amalfi's port and threads the boat along sheer limestone cliffs the coastal road never reveals. Sea caves glow turquoise as you idle inside them; the captain cuts the engine so the silence is total. You anchor in a private cove for a swim before cruising into Positano's crescent harbour for a gelato stop. The return leg at speed, with the cliffs lit gold, is genuinely breathtaking.
Good to know
Book directly via toursofamalficoast.com and request a morning departure (9–10 am) to beat summer chop and secure calmer waters. Confirm your all-aboard time with the ship and allow 30 minutes' buffer; the boat docks steps from the tender pier. Sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer are essential.
