Amalfi Coast Gozzo Cruise: 4-Hour Boat Tour to Caves, Beaches & Snorkeling

On the water, the Amalfi Coast reads like a map of cliffs and colour. Departing from Amalfi, Italy, this four-hour boat tour aboard a traditional wooden gozzo threads the coastline between pastel villages, sea caves and sheer limestone cliffs. The departure point is Amalfi: Via Lungomare dei Cavalieri, 5, 84011 Amalfi SA, Italytttt; meet 15 minutes early where a hostess holds a blue umbrella. The itinerary sweeps past Atrani, Italy’s smallest village, then Conca dei Marini and the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow inlet where waves strike vertical rock. Skippers ease beneath the Arco degli Innamorati, a natural rock arch photographed at every tide, and pause at the Grotta dell’Africana, a cave whose iridescent waters catch sunlight and reflect surreal blue tones. Stops at Praiano and other calm coves let swimmers jump into crystalline water for snorkeling among Posidonia seagrass beds; extend to the six-hour option to disembark in Positano (note a €5 water taxi fee payable on arrival). What sets this trip apart is its craft and scale: a 10–12 metre traditional gozzo and a maximum ten-person group make for an unhurried rhythm. The crew knows hidden beaches that are accessible only from the sea, and complimentary prosecco softens the horizon as cliffs change colour. The tour combines easy swimming, accessible snorkeling and photography chances framed by multicoloured houses clinging to karst limestone. Vegetation is Mediterranean scrub and Aleppo pine on the cliffs; expect gulls, cormorants and occasional dolphins offshore. Practical details matter. The route can vary with sea and weather conditions; the operator does not require a minimum number to run the trip. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Not suitable for guests with mobility impairments and pets or oversized luggage are not allowed. The comfortable, local-scale format makes this ideal for couples, small groups or solo travelers who want a tactile sense of the coast rather than a big-boat excursion. Beyond scenery, you pass history: Amalfi was one of Italy’s medieval maritime republics and its coastal settlements still show that seafaring legacy in their architecture and harbors. Leave room in your day for a gelato in Amalfi or a walk through narrow alleys in Atrani after you return. Whether you chase caves, cliff-shadowed coves, or sunrise reflections on limestone cliffs, this gozzo cruise is a hands-on way to read the Amalfi shoreline from sea level. Bring sun protection, a light windbreaker and water shoes; the crew stores dry bags and offers snorkeling masks. Departures often leave mid-morning to take advantage of calmer seas, and the small-group format increases time at each cove. Confirm check-in details at the Amalfi meeting address and review cancellation and water-taxi notes before you book for the latest sea forecasts.
