About this experience

A boat tour of the Amalfi Coast will give you the opportunity to discover the Divine Coast in all its peculiar beauty and to discover inlets, grottoes and details that you would never be able to see from land. Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty.

We will sail along the beautiful Amalfi coast, stopping at the most attractive bays to admire the inlets and grottos. Passing in front of Praiano, the fiord of Furore, Conca dei Marini where there is the Emerald Grotto (optional visit, entrance fee not included, to be paid on site) we will sail past Amalfi - the oldest Maritime Republic - towards Atrani, Minori and Maiori. Following this fascinating cruise, we will make a 2/3-hour stop to discover Amalfi town's charm at your own pace.
The boat trip includes two swimming stops in the crystal-blue waters. And, while returning to our starting points, you will enjoy an aperitif on board!
