All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
There is no perspective more breathtaking than the one from the water. Departing from the iconic Spiaggia Grande in Positano, these boat tours offer an front-row seat to the UNESCO-listed wonders of the Amalfi Coast. You will glide past the vertical cliffs of Praiano, navigate the narrow opening of the Fiordo di Furore, and witness the cascading Marmorata waterfalls. Whether you choose a traditional wooden 'Gozzo' for a romantic sunset or a high-end luxury cruiser for a family day out, these experiences prioritize comfort, storytelling by local captains, and ample opportunities to swim in secluded turquoise coves that are inaccessible by land. Most excursions include a stop in the historic town of Amalfi, giving you time to explore the Duomo and enjoy a lemon sorbet before sailing back into the golden Positano sunset.

Real experiences from real travelers
The small group boat tour was the highlight of our honeymoon. The captain was so knowledgeable about the history of the villas we passed. Swimming near the waterfalls was an experience I'll never forget.
We booked a private Gozzo for our family of 6. Worth every penny to have the flexibility to stop whenever we wanted to swim. The snacks and prosecco were a lovely touch.
A wonderful way to escape the crowds of Positano for a few hours. The stop in Amalfi was perfectly timed. Only wish we had more time at the Furore fjord!
The sunset tour is a must. Seeing the lights of Positano come on from the water while sipping prosecco was incredibly romantic. The crew was fantastic.
I was worried about sea sickness but the boat was very stable. The water is so blue you won't believe it. Best way to see the coastline without the bus traffic.
Booked the 7-hour small group tour. Great value for money considering you get to see the whole coast and have a dedicated guide. Group was max 12 which felt very personal.
The Mochi Craft boat was stunning. Total luxury. The hostess was very attentive and the snorkeling spots they took us to were quiet and beautiful.
Easy booking process through this site. The operator was waiting for us at the pier and the entire day went smoothly. A 10/10 Italian experience.

It varies. Small group tours usually include light snacks and drinks, while some private tours offer local lunch options or stops at seaside restaurants.
Yes, children are welcome. Many operators provide child-sized life jackets, but it's always best to notify them of children's ages in advance.
During peak season (June-August), boat tours often sell out weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks before your trip.

A Gozzo is a traditional, wooden, stable boat perfect for leisurely cruising. Speed boats are modern, faster, and often offer more cabin space.
Tipping is not mandatory in Italy but is greatly appreciated for excellent service. 10-15% of the tour price is a common gesture for a great day.
Yes, most captains are happy for you to bring extra snacks or a specific bottle of wine, though plenty of water and often prosecco are already provided.
