Cruise the Amalfi Coast with Positano Voyage on a private 4-hour boat trip from Positano, taking in remote fjords, hidden bays, and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy snorkeling, snacks, and an intimate experience of this breathtaking Italian coastline.

Details

The Amalfi Coast stretches along Italy’s southwestern shoreline, a dramatic coastline famous for sheer cliffs plummeting into the Tyrrhenian Sea, pastel villages, and hidden coves. At its heart lies Positano, a vibrant town on Via Pasitea where the sea meets colorful cliffside homes. Positano Voyage offers a standout way to experience this remarkable region beyond the crowds—a private 4-hour boat journey skimming coastal gems from Positano to Tordigliano and the Fiordo di Furore.

Setting out from Positano’s harbor, guests are welcomed aboard a sleek vessel equipped for intimacy and comfort. The boat glides quietly past limestone cliffs streaked with ancient terraces and wild Mediterranean flora—rockroses, junipers, and fragrant herbs clinging to crevices. The route showcases Fiordo di Furore, a narrow fjord sliced into the cliffs, famous for its turquoise waters and the compact fishing village clinging to the steep rocks. Nearby, Tordigliano Bay reveals pristine beaches accessible only by boat, ideal for swimming or snorkeling in crystal-clear water.

Along the way, Positano Voyage provides complimentary snacks, refreshing drinks, and snorkeling gear to fully engage with the marine environment. This is not a typical crowded tour but a private escape allowing visitors to connect with the coast’s natural beauty and cultural legacy. The boat trip offers glimpses of historic watchtowers guarding against pirates and fisherman’s shacks carved into caves, while the still water below often reveals vibrant schools of fish and the occasional playful dolphin.

Positano Voyage’s intimate and thorough approach enhances the physical majesty and rich heritage of the Amalfi Coast. It’s perfect for travelers seeking a memorable half-day sea adventure without the bustle, combining comfort, scenery, and unique access to one of Italy’s defining coastal landscapes.
