Board a gleaming traditional Sorrentine gozzo boat for a private, sun-drenched cruise along the world's most dramatic coastline. Hidden sea-caves, vertical lemon-grove cliffs, and a long lunch in Positano await.
What to expect
The boat departs from Sorrento or Salerno (depending on your port call) and hugs the Amalfi Coast's sheer cliffs past Praiano, the Fiordo di Furore, and Conca dei Marini's Emerald Grotto. Your captain anchors in private coves for swimming in crystalline water before guiding you into Positano's harbour, where you step directly onto the bougainvillea-draped waterfront. Lunch at a cliffside trattoria — fresh-caught orata, house-made pasta alle vongole, chilled Falanghina — is arranged in advance by your captain. The homeward journey catches the golden-hour light on the cliffs.
Good to know
Departures from Sorrento are easiest from Naples port — take the Circumvesuviana train (45 min) or pre-arrange a private transfer. Book the boat and lunch table simultaneously, as the top Positano restaurants fill by 11 am. Check sea conditions in advance; the operator will suggest alternative sheltered routes in heavy swell.
