Spend a full day cruising Italy’s Amalfi Coast with Tenuta Il Pizzo, indulging in coastal swims, local delicacies, and a limoncello tasting. This boat tour offers a unique vantage point to experience rugged cliffs, historic towns, and sparkling Mediterranean water.
Stretching along Italy’s southwestern shore, the Amalfi Coast is a rugged masterpiece of towering cliffs, pastel villages, and crystal-clear waters. Based in Sorrento, Campania, Tenuta Il Pizzo offers a singular 8-hour boat journey that captures the essence of this Mediterranean escape in a profoundly intimate way. This isn’t just a boat ride; it’s a full-day immersion into one of Europe’s most dramatic coastal landscapes.
The day begins with a leisurely breakfast on board, setting a calm, anticipatory tone as your vessel slips away from Sorrento’s harbor. As the boat arcs southward, the jagged coastline reveals itself in layers—limestone cliffs carved by millennia of sea storms, punctuated by charming cliffside villages like Positano, where a refreshing swim offers the perfect reset. The boat becomes both vantage point and sanctuary, inviting guests to lounge under open skies, while the scent of salt air mingles with fragrant Mediterranean flora.
Midday ushers you into Amalfi itself, a historic maritime town with centuries of seafaring heritage. Here, a seaside restaurant awaits, offering the chance to savor regional flavors framed by sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The afternoon is spent cruising back towards Sorrento, with stops to enjoy light aperitifs and snacks—highlighted by an authentic limoncello tasting crafted from local lemons, a specialty of this agricultural-rich region.
This boat tour is more than sightseeing; it’s a sensory journey through Campania’s coastal culture and nature. Tenuta Il Pizzo stands out by balancing effortless luxury with genuine connection to place.
