More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A corrugated wake parts the blue as you ease off the Amalfi marina and the cliff face of Praiano slides by like a painted map. The inflatable's 40hp outboard hums; salt air pulls at your hair and the coast's limestone cliffs lean toward the sea as if curious. Small beaches and recessed coves appear between towns—Positano's stacked houses, Amalfi's cathedral dome, and the quieter siparian coves where the water looks almost electric.

Briefing is non-negotiable
Arrive 15 minutes early for the operator's safety and boat-controls briefing—pay attention to mooring and throttle basics.
Start early for calm seas
Departing in the morning reduces wind chop and gives you cooler conditions for navigating tight coastal passages.
Respect protected zones
Avoid entering marked marine reserves and watch for buoys; fines apply and wildlife habitats are fragile.
Pack hydration and shade
Bring plenty of drinking water and sun protection—the awning helps, but direct sun and reflection make dehydration easy.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
High sun exposure and reflected UV mean reliable sunscreen is essential for an all-day rental.
