More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Positano’s Marina Grande as the cliffs start to absorb the day’s heat; the village drops from your line of sight and the coast becomes a series of steep, sun-washed terraces and pastel facades. On a ninety-minute cruise you ride the low swell while the sea dares you to look away — gulls wheel, distant traffic sounds thin to a hum, and the captain eases the bow to frame the Pyramid rock that defines many postcard shots.

Take motion-sickness medicine early
If you’re prone to seasickness, take tablets 30–60 minutes before departure; the low swell is gentle but persistent.
Bring a light windbreaker
Even in summer the breeze off the Tyrrhenian can feel cool as the sun sets — a thin shell keeps you comfortable.
Wear stable, closed shoes for boarding
Docks can be narrow and wet; closed-toe shoes with grip make embarkation and disembarkation easier.
Protect gear from spray
Use a dry bag or waterproof phone case; salt spray is common during close coastal passages.
