The Amalfi Coast in Campania, Italy, is one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating coastal regions, where sheer cliffs meet sapphire waters and timeless fishing villages dot the shore. Amalfi Boats offers a full day private tour that takes you into the heart of this seascape’s best-kept marine treasures—from Amalfi town to the legendary island of Capri.

The tour meanders through Capri’s iconic Blue Grotto, a cave famed for its evanescent blue light filtering through an underground cavity. Swimming stops allow you to dive into warm Tyrrhenian waters or relax on the deck watching the cliffs rise sharply above you, blanketed in Mediterranean pines and aromatic shrubs. The boat also visits charming seaside hamlets with brightly colored homes built into rocky slopes, a reminder of the region’s centuries-old connection to the sea.
