Details

Located along Italy’s legendary Amalfi Coast, Positano offers more than just postcard-perfect cliffside views; it’s a gateway to some of the Mediterranean’s most captivating seascapes. Positano Voyage crafts an intimate sailing experience that takes adventurers right out of town and onto shimmering cerulean waters. Their signature Le Sirene Tour is a seven-hour journey that threads through stunning coastal enclaves rarely accessible by land.

Setting off from Via Pasitea, the tour sails south to Tordigliano, a small fishing village that feels paused in time with its rugged coastline and quaint charm. The route continues to Galli Island, an enclave of volcanic rock formations, unspoiled beaches, and crystal-clear water. Often less frequented by mass tourism, this island provides an ideal backdrop for snorkeling amid vibrant marine life, including colorful schools of fish and intricate Mediterranean flora.

What sets Positano Voyage apart is its commitment to privacy and comfort. The boat is outfitted with premium amenities, including snorkeling gear and a selection of complimentary refreshments that keep guests refreshed as they drift past dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. This isn’t just a boat trip—it’s a full immersion into the coastal ecosystem and local history, offering a fresh vantage on a region known for both its natural beauty and cultural legacy.

The natural basalt formations of Galli Island create unique underwater trails perfect for casual divers, while above water, swaths of fragrant Mediterranean scrub dot the islands. The tour’s duration and curated route give a balanced day on the water—combining leisure, light activity, and breathtaking scenery.

For travelers seeking to experience Positano beyond its busy streets, the Le Sirene Tour stands out as a refined and exhilarating way to connect with Italy’s southern coastline. It’s a rare blend of adventure, tranquility, and local authenticity all rolled into one seamless day at sea.
