Arrive by private speedboat to the pastel-stacked village of Positano and the clifftop gardens of Ravello — the most glamorous way to see the Amalfi Coast, beloved by everyone from Jackie O to Gore Vidal.
What to expect
Your skipper departs from Salerno's port and cuts south along the dramatic limestone cliffs, stopping at the sea cave of Grotta dello Smeraldo. You dock in Positano's tiny marina for a private villa lunch pre-arranged by your concierge. Afternoon is spent in Ravello's Villa Cimbrone gardens, with panoramas that inspired Wagner and Greta Garbo. Return is at sea as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
Good to know
Operates from Salerno port (no transfer needed). Ravello cliff road is a 20-min drive from Amalfi town — driver arranged by operator. Book 3–4 weeks ahead for peak summer. Bring a light linen layer for the sea breeze.
