Details

Cetara, a picturesque fishing village perched along Italy's Amalfi Coast in Provincia di Salerno, offers an authentic Mediterranean gateway to one of the world’s most dramatic coastlines. Enjoy Rent Boat invites travelers to experience this iconic shore from the unique vantage point of the sea on their Sunset Tour. This trip departs from Cetara’s modest yet charming port, setting off just as the day softens and the horizon becomes a canvas of shifting hues.

The Amalfi Coast is renowned for its sheer cliffs that rise sharply from the Tyrrhenian Sea, dotted with pastel villages and rugged coves. On this tour, your expert skipper navigates waters flanked by limestone cliffs sculpted by millennia of waves, taking you toward lesser-known viewpoints and sea caves inaccessible by land. As the sun lowers, the coastline is bathed in golds, pinks, and purples, reflecting off sapphire waters and creating a romantic, almost ethereal atmosphere.

This experience stands apart because it blends natural beauty with cultural intimacy—Cetara remains a working fishing community known for traditional anchovy fishing, giving visitors a glimpse of local life. Enjoy Rent Boat’s personalized tours focus on comfort and connection, offering a quieter, more personal perspective of the Amalfi Coast away from the busier ports like Amalfi or Positano. This tailored approach makes each trip memorable for couples, photographers, or anyone wanting to embrace the coast’s maritime heritage.

The tour is accessible for most visitors, requiring no prior boating experience, with knowledgeable skippers ensuring safety and storytelling throughout. Whether you’re chasing perfect light for photography or craving a peaceful moment on the water, the Sunset Tour by Enjoy Rent Boat is a standout choice to appreciate the Amalfi Coast’s rugged charm and timeless allure.
