Experience the Amalfi Coast from the sea on a 7-hour boat tour departing from Positano with Lord's Boat. Swim turquoise waters, visit the Galli Islands, enjoy a beachside lunch, and wander Amalfi’s historical streets.
The Amalfi Coast, stretching along Italy’s southwestern shore, is a rugged coastline steeped in sun-drenched cliffs, seaside towns, and crystal-clear waters. From Salerno, Lord's Boat delivers a full-day, seven-hour voyage that immerses adventurers in this iconic Mediterranean landscape by sea. Departing from Positano, this boat tour navigates the stunning Galli Islands—small volcanic islets rich in marine life and dramatic rock formations that rise sharply from vibrant turquoise waters. Along the way, you’ll cruise past sheer limestone cliffs topped with Mediterranean scrub and colorful villages that cling to the slopes, offering views few experience from land.
What sets this tour apart is its balance of active freedom and serene moments. Guests can dive directly into the sea, swimming in secluded coves shielded from the tourist crowds. The opportunity to snorkel reveals thriving aquatic habitats—schools of fish dart beneath the surface, while the unique volcanic geology colors the underwater scenery. Midday, the boat anchors for a relaxed beachside lunch, providing a chance to savor regional flavors infused with fresh seafood and local ingredients.
On the return leg, the boat docks in Amalfi itself, a town rich in maritime history and Mediterranean culture. Strolling Amalfi’s narrow streets, travelers encounter centuries-old architecture, sarcophagi from the Duchy era, and artisan shops crafting ceramics that mirror the region’s colors. The tour’s seamless blend of natural wonders, cultural stops, and active swim breaks makes Lord's Boat a standout choice for those seeking to engage deeply with the Amalfi Coast’s essence.
For outdoor enthusiasts seeking a day that combines adventure, coastal panoramas, and authentic Italian charm, this full-day boat experience out of Salerno is unmatched, connecting the pulse of the sea with the soul of Amalfi’s shore.
