Glide past cliffside villages and swim in hidden caves on a private motorboat from Salerno. This full-day Amalfi Coast cruise pairs snorkeling and classic Italian aperitivo with local maritime history and sea-sculpted scenery.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Salerno’s pier and the cliff-face villages of the Amalfi Coast begin to stitch themselves into a moving postcard. Salt-sleek waves slap the hull, gulls wheel overhead, and the skipper pilots an Apreamare 10 between narrow fjords and high limestone bluffs. You’ll feel the sea push forward; coves dare you to dive in.
