Cruise the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast aboard a private wooden gozzo or motorboat, gliding past pastel-stacked villages, sea caves, and lemon-grove cliffs accessible only from the water. The most cinematic coastline in the Mediterranean — seen the right way.
What to expect
Your skipper departs from Salerno or Amalfi harbour and navigates south past the Fiordo di Furore — a narrow sea-gorge invisible from the road — before anchoring in crystalline water for a private swim. You pull into Positano for an espresso and a stroll through its bougainvillea-draped lanes, then round the headland past the Cathedral of Amalfi's mosaic facade from the sea. Chilled prosecco and local snacks are typically included. The return run at golden hour, cliffs glowing amber, is unforgettable.
Good to know
Salerno is a common cruise port for Amalfi Coast calls; confirm your embarkation port. Book 4–6 weeks ahead in June–September. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer — sea breeze is deceptive. Confirm all-aboard and allow a 90-min buffer from Amalfi/Salerno return.
