The dinghy chops through a cobalt page of sea and Positano peels off behind you—rows of pastel houses stacking like books on a steep shelf. The captain trims the throttle and the coast leans in: cliffs clipped with lemon trees, a blind of terraces, and the sudden slit of the Fiordo di Furore where a waterfall drops straight into the water. In ninety minutes, this predator-style Jolly will carry you along the Amalfi Coast’s most iconic edges, a concentrated portrait of Calabria’s blue and sunlight.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early to board
Plan to be at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before departure to load luggage and get a quick safety briefing.
Sun protection
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses—the open sea amplifies sun exposure.
Secure your camera
Use a wrist strap or small dry bag for phones and cameras; spray and wake can reach onboard.
Seasickness prep
If you are prone to motion sickness, take medication or use acupressure bands beforehand—the trip is short but on open water.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Common dolphins (occasionally sighted)
- Yellow-legged gulls and shearwaters along the cliffs
History
Amalfi was an independent maritime republic in the Middle Ages, and the coastal towers—built to deter pirate and Saracen raids—still punctuate the headlands.
Conservation
The Amalfi Coast is a protected cultural landscape; stay aboard unless instructed to enter the water, avoid single-use plastics, and follow the captain’s guidance to minimize disturbance to wildlife.
