Seeing the sea from the coast is lovely, but enjoying the coast from the sea is stunning. Boat trips and sailing excursions from Amalfi are the best options to live an unforgettable day at sea.
The Amalfi Coast is well known for its landscape and its little seaside towns. However, there are also beautiful grottoes excavated on the rocky coastline.
The grottoes boat tours provide a unique experience to discover the gorgeous caves along the Amalfi Coast that are not so well known as Capri's grottoes.
The most famous grottoes that you will visit are:
Capri can be easily reached by Amalfi on a day trip. However, you will need to go to Piano di Sorrento by car/taxi and take the ferry from there. Skip the hassle of driving and relax on a day excursion that includes the transfers to the port and a boat tour of Capri island. The boat tour will include the famous Blue Grotto and you will have a few hours of free time to visit Capri by land.
Located at the west tip of the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is a lovely seaside town. Most boat excursions heading to Capri will pass through Sorrento. You will get the chance to see the coastline near Sorrent and its grottos before reaching Capri.
Together with Amalfi, Positano is the most well-known town of the Amalfi Coast. Positano is built in a narrow valley between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills behind the coast. Positano landscape is very famous worldwide: you have seen pictures of it for sure! The town can be appreciated much more from the sea and it is the perfect background for your picture from a boat.
Most boat tours pass in front on Positano or stop in the port. Other towns that you can see during your sailing excursion are Praiano, Ravello, Conca dei Marini
There are several kinds of boat tours for all expectations.
Boat trips in groups were very popular until 2019. In 2020, due to the safety regulations related to the COVID-19, private boat tours have become more popular. Nevertheless, group boat tours provide a cheap and fun way to discover the best sights of the Amalfi coast together with other people. These tours are definitely cheaper and they are often operated on larger boats, for up to 12 people.
Choose a private boat tour to get the best experience. Private boat trips offer the possibility to customize your trip, adding stops where you prefer. You can add stops near the grottoes to swim and snorkel or spend the day more in the open sea to avoid the crowd. A skipper is always included in the tour.
The sunset is a fascinating moment on the Amalfi Coast. Since the direction of the coast is south, you cannot see the sunset on the sea from the coast. But you can enjoy it from a boat.
Sunset cruises are best suggested for couples who want to relax and enjoy their privacy. Most sunset cruises are private tours.
Discover the Amalfi Coast at your own pace renting a boat for your private use. Spend a day cruising along the coastline to find hidden beaches, famous caves, rugged rock formations and lovely seafront towns.
Enjoy a day at sea or stop in the towns of Positano, Capri or other points along the Amalfi Coast, sharing the boat with your friends or your partner. If you are not sure how to drive a boat, you can opt for private tours, which always include a captain.
