Drift along the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast aboard a private wooden gozzo, anchoring in sea caves and hidden coves unreachable by road. The turquoise waters, cliffside villages, and lemon-scented air make this an iconic Italian bucket-list day.
What to expect
Your skipper departs from Salerno or Amalfi harbour and threads south past Positano's pastel stacks, Praiano's hidden grottos, and the Emerald Grotto sea cave. Swim stops are chosen by your skipper based on sea conditions and your whims. A light antipasto spread and chilled local wine are typically included. As the afternoon sun turns the limestone cliffs amber, you'll understand why this coastline is one of Italy's most painted and photographed stretches.
Good to know
Salerno port is the most convenient departure if your ship calls there; private transfer from Naples takes ~60 min. Book 4–8 weeks ahead in peak season (June–September). Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and soft-soled shoes. Confirm sea conditions 48 hrs before sailing.
