The morning light cuts across the Tyrrhenian as your skipper eases the boat away from Amalfi’s narrow harbor and the cliffs start to unfold—vertical gardens, lemon groves, and villages clinging to ledges. You nose into sea caves, slip under a natural arch, and glide past a small Italian fjord where the water hurls a cool invitation to jump in.

History
The Amalfi Coast grew from the medieval maritime Republic of Amalfi; its seafaring past shaped coastal towns, trade, and architecture visible from the water.
Conservation
Avoid anchoring on seagrass (Posidonia) meadows and use reef-safe sunscreen; follow skipper instructions to minimize disturbance to marine habitats.

Protect against sun and splash
Bring reef-safe, high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brim hat; UV exposure is strong on the open deck even on cloudy days.
Wear water shoes
Stony landings and boat ladders are easier with grippy water shoes that protect toes from rough rock and shells.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
If you’re sensitive to roll, take preventative medication before departure or choose a mid-boat seat near the center for a steadier ride.
Carry a small waterproof bag
Keep phone, cards, and a light layer dry and accessible—most stops are short swims or rocky shores without lockers.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and marine habitats during extended sun exposure on deck and while swimming.
