Morning departure for calmer seas
Book the earliest departure possible—morning crossings tend to be gentler and lighting is best for photos of the cliffs and Grotta dello Smeraldo.
Bring motion-sickness medication
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding or use acupressure bands; the itinerary includes open-water stretches.
Non-slip shoes for boarding and alleys
Wear stable footwear—boarding ladders and Amalfi’s steep alleys are easier with shoes that grip wet surfaces.
