The day opens with the boat slipping from Marina della Lobra and the coastline unspooling behind you — sheer limestone cliffs streaked with terraces, fishermen’s coves, and villas stacked like postcards. The Tyrrhenian pushes at the hull; the crew pours prosecco and points out Li Galli’s rocky islets where myths of sirens still hang in the salt air.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Plan your free time
Use your Amalfi and Positano shore time to prioritize a cathedral visit, a quick café, or a beach cove—walking hills can be steep and time is limited.
