Details

Perched on Italy’s Campania coast, Positano offers one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning seascapes, and MySea Living elevates this natural wonder with their private Amalfi Sunset Tour. Setting off from the iconic vertical village of Positano, guests slip aboard a sleek boat that skims crystal-clear waters, hugging rugged cliffs dotted with pastel villas. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the sky shifts through fiery oranges and soft pinks, casting a glow over the dramatic Amalfi coastline — a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its steep terraces, lemon groves, and historic watchtowers.

What sets this trip apart is the intimate access to secluded coves and quiet beaches unreachable by road, a perfect backdrop to toast the evening with complimentary Prosecco and curated local snacks. The tour’s flexibility invites customization, whether you want to pause for a swim in turquoise waters or simply unwind and savor the shifting light. The boat’s gentle motion against the cliffs makes it an exceptional time for photography and quiet moments of reflection.

The Amalfi Coast's limestone cliffs rise sharply from the sea, featuring unique geological formations sculpted by millennia of wind and wave. This stretch has rich maritime traditions dating back centuries, with small fishing villages that have resisted mass tourism’s homogenizing effects, preserving genuine local culture and cuisine.

MySea Living’s private tours bring focus and care to this iconic landscape, helping visitors engage with nature’s spectacle responsibly, far from crowded public boats. Travelers searching for a blend of romance, culture, and spectacular coastal scenery will find these tours a standout among Amalfi experiences. MySea Living not only showcases the region’s beauty but invites an unforgettable, personal encounter with one of Italy’s most beloved shorelines.
