Detailed itinerary

1

Your private boat adventure begins in Amalfi, once a powerful Maritime Republic and now a sparkling jewel of the Amalfi Coast. After boarding, we’ll start with a short safety briefing to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for everyone.

Then, it’s time to set sail. As we leave the harbor, soak in panoramic views of whitewashed homes, ancient domes, and lemon-scented cliffs rising from the sea — a living postcard that sets the tone for the day ahead.

Cruising along the coast, you’ll pass the secluded Santa Croce Beach, a hidden cove accessible only by boat, its turquoise waters inviting and untouched.

Soon after, we’ll reach the enchanting Natural Arch, also known as the Lovers’ Arch. According to legend, two young lovers once sought refuge beneath it, and nature carved the stone to shelter their eternal bond. Sailing beneath the arch is said to bring good fortune in love — a magical and symbolic start to your Amalfi Coast experience.

2

As we continue along the coast, the scenery becomes more breathtaking — steep terraces draped in bougainvillea, secret coves tucked into the cliffs, and the unmistakable charm of the Amalfi Coast unfolding before your eyes.

We soon arrive at Conca dei Marini, a postcard-perfect village nestled on a rocky ledge above the sea. From the boat, you’ll spot the elegant white dome of San Pancrazio Church, standing tall between emerald hills and sapphire waters.

This stretch of coastline is rich with echoes of the past — you’ll cruise past ancient Saracen watchtowers, once used to guard against pirates, and modest fishermen’s homes carved into the cliffs.

Here, in the calm bay of Marina di Conca, we drop anchor for our first swim stop. Dive into crystal-clear waters, float under the sun, and take in the beauty of this peaceful coastal haven — the perfect beginning to your day at sea.

3

As we cruise away from Conca dei Marini, the coastline continues to surprise — revealing the spectacular Fiordo di Furore, one of the Amalfi Coast’s most striking natural marvels.

This is Italy’s only fjord — a place so stunning it feels straight out of a movie. And indeed, it has served as the backdrop for countless films and timeless love stories.

It's a moment that captures the wild, romantic spirit of the coast — powerful, unforgettable.

As we continue our journey, the tranquil charm of Praiano comes into view — where authenticity and beauty go hand in hand. Whitewashed homes spill down the cliffs, and the radiant majolica dome of San Gennaro Church catches the sunlight, a colorful symbol of the village's deep-rooted tradition.

Nearby, we’ll pass Cala della Gavitella, one of the few beaches on the coast bathed in sunlight until late afternoon. With its crystal-clear turquoise waters and views stretching out toward Capri, it’s a true local secret — and the perfect spot for our second swim and snorkeling stop. Dive in, explore the underwater world, or simply float and soak in the sun.

Look up, and you’ll also spot the Torre a Mare, an ancient watchtower turned art space, keeping quiet watch over the coastline — a reminder of Praiano’s rich history and creative soul.

5

And then, the coastline parts to reveal the breathtaking beauty of Positano — the Amalfi Coast’s most iconic village, where vibrant homes spill down dramatic cliffs like a work of art. From the sea, it’s a vision of timeless elegance, framed by lush greenery and crystal-clear waters.

As we glide closer, you’ll spot the iconic Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its shimmering ceramic dome, and the cheerful marina where pastel-colored boats dance on the waves.

Of course, this is the perfect moment to snap an unforgettable photo with Positano as your backdrop — a true postcard of la dolce vita.

Upon arrival, guests may choose to disembark and explore the village at their own pace, wandering its charming streets and boutique-lined alleys. Alternatively, you can opt to enjoy lunch at a waterfront restaurant, accessible directly by boat — a culinary experience with a view you'll never forget.

6

Just when you think the Amalfi Coast has revealed all its secrets, a new treasure appears — Atrani, Italy’s smallest town, yet one of its most captivating.

From the boat, Atrani looks like a postcard come to life: a tight cluster of pastel-colored houses stacked between towering cliffs and the open sea, with arched bridges, winding stairways, and medieval charm pouring out of every corner.

You’ll glimpse the elegant Church of San Salvatore de' Birecto, once the coronation site of Amalfi’s dukes, its bell tower rising proudly above the rooftops. Just beyond, the graceful curve of Atrani's beach hugs the shoreline.

Tucked into the rock, this hidden gem feels like a step back in time. No crowds — just authentic coastal soul and a beauty that seems almost untouched. From the water, Atrani is a breathtaking vision — intimate, serene, and endlessly photogenic.

7

Tucked between dramatic cliffs and lemon-scented hills, Minori is one of the Amalfi Coast’s most charming villages — rich in history, tradition, and beauty.

From the boat, Minori reveals itself like a quiet painting: colorful houses hugging the coastline, and a peaceful atmosphere that whispers of authentic coastal life. Look up to see terraced lemon groves, the lifeblood of the town’s famous limoncello, and admire the elegant Basilica of Santa Trofimena, whose white façade and bell tower rise gracefully above the village.

8

As we sail along the Amalfi Coast, Maiori stands out with its unique charm and the longest beach on the coastline, a sweeping crescent of golden sand kissed by turquoise waves. From the boat, you’ll get a stunning panoramic view of this lively seaside town, framed by green hills and dotted with colorful Mediterranean buildings.

Look closer and you’ll see the graceful dome of the Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare, gleaming in the sunlight, its majolica tiles adding a pop of color to the skyline.

As we cruise by, enjoy views of hidden coves, ancient towers, and rocky cliffs that plunge dramatically into the sea.
