All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Embarking on a boat tour from Sorrento is arguably the most spectacular way to experience the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast. Navigating the coastline by water allows you to bypass the winding, congested roads and instead enjoy a front-row seat to the dramatic limestone cliffs, secret sea caves, and historic watchtowers that define this region. Whether you choose a shared excursion on a traditional wooden Gozzo or a luxury private speedboat, these tours typically include designated stops in the iconic towns of Positano and Amalfi, giving you time to explore their narrow streets and boutique shops. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to dive into the refreshing Mediterranean at spots like the Li Galli islands or the secluded Furore Fjord, often accompanied by local snacks, limoncello, and the warm hospitality of an expert Italian skipper.

Our boat tour from Sorrento was the highlight of our Italy trip. Capturing Positano from the water is a memory I'll never forget. The skipper was amazing!
We booked a private Gozzo for our family of six. It was worth every penny. We had total control over our swim stops and the lunch recommendation in Amalfi was superb.
Small group of 12 people was perfect. Plenty of space on the boat. Positano was very crowded on land, so I preferred staying on the boat and swimming.
The water at Li Galli is crystal clear. We saw dolphins on the way back to Sorrento! Highly recommend booking through this platform for the ease.
Even as an Italian, I was blown away by the beauty of the coastline from the sea. The prosecco and snacks were a lovely touch.
The scenery is 5 stars, but Amalfi town was very busy. I'm glad we had the boat as a sanctuary. The snorkeling gear provided was high quality.
Everything from the booking process to the tour itself was seamless. The skipper told us great stories about the history of the pirate towers.
Don't bother with the bus. The boat is the only way to go. We stopped at a hidden cave that the big ferries can't reach. Magic!
Everything you need to know for your journey
The best time is from May to September when the weather is warm and the sea is calm. July and August are the peak months with the warmest water, while May and September offer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
Most shared tours include snacks and drinks (water, soda, prosecco, limoncello), but not a full lunch. Private tours can often be customized to include a stop at a seaside restaurant in Nerano or Amalfi.
Typically, these tours provide between 1 and 2 hours of free time in each town. This is enough for a quick stroll, some shopping, and a gelato, but not for a long sit-down meal if you want to see both towns.
Yes, almost all boat tours featured on our platform include the use of snorkeling masks and fins at no extra cost, particularly for the stop at Li Galli islands.
Safety is the priority. If the sea conditions are deemed unsafe by the skipper, the tour will be cancelled. You will typically be offered an alternative date or a full refund through our booking partners.
Most medium-sized Gozzos and speedboats used for these tours are equipped with a small marine restroom (head) and a cabin area for changing.
Not necessarily. Life jackets and floating noodles are provided for those who wish to enter the water but aren't confident swimmers. You can also simply relax on the deck and enjoy the views.
Yes, children are welcome. Most operators offer discounted rates for children. However, please note that strollers may need to be folded and stored in the cabin during the trip.
We recommend bringing a beach towel, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a swimsuit, and a camera. You may also want some cash for landing fees or small purchases in the villages.
