The Amalfi Coast in a day

A whole day to see the Coast the way those born here see it: from the sea, without hurry, stopping wherever the water is most beautiful.

The Amalfi Coast in a day

The story

Fjord of Furore

We set off in the morning from the port of your choice. The boat is yours alone: no groups, no rigid timetable. We follow the coastline west and east, past villages clinging to the rock, Saracen towers and villas you can't see from the road.

Praiano Grotto

You set the pace. If the water calls, we stay longer for a swim; if you'd like to go ashore for lunch or a stroll, I drop you at the pier and wait for you. Along the way I tell you the stories of these places: I grew up on these waters, the son of a captain.

We head back in the afternoon, as the warm light sets the façades of Positano and Amalfi aglow. It's the day our guests remember as the highlight of their trip.

The route

The stops

The order of the stops may change depending on your departure town. This is a sample itinerary, not a fixed route.

  1. 01

    9:50 · Boarding

    We meet at the pier in your town (I'll send you the location as a link) and set sail towards Positano.

    The natural arch and Conca dei Marini

    Our first stop is the natural arch of Amalfi, then the coastline of Conca dei Marini seen from the sea.

  3. 03

    Fjord of Furore

    The cleft in the rock with its tiny beach and suspended bridge.

  4. 04

    Praiano Grotto

    A swim inside the grotto: something you can truly do from the water in very few places.

  5. 05

    Positano

    The vertical village right in front of us, and a stop for a lovely swim.

  6. 06

    If you like, I'll arrange lunch at one of the coastal restaurants you can reach directly by boat.

    Atrani, the smallest town in Italy, the Marmorata waterfall in Ravello, and Minori.

  8. 08

    The last stop in Maiori before heading back and going ashore.
