History
Amalfi was a powerful maritime republic in the Middle Ages; the coastal watchtowers trace a legacy of trade routes and anti-pirate defenses.
Conservation
The coastline hosts sensitive Posidonia oceanica meadows; responsible operators avoid anchoring on seagrass and reduce single-use plastics to protect marine habitats.

Boarding and mobility
Expect low wooden gunnels and a small step when boarding—bring shoes with a good grip and ask the skipper for assistance if needed.
Sun and glare protection
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a brimmed hat—sun reflects strongly off the water even on cloudy days.
Respect marine habitats
Avoid swimming near Posidonia meadows and follow skipper directions about where to anchor to protect seagrass beds.
Timing for light and crowds
