Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Baia di Ieranto, Massa Lubrense Italy
The only inlet at the end of the Sorrentine peninsula, Ieranto has provided the source for myths and legends amid the silvery green of the olive trees, the crystalline blue of the bay, the landscape of the sea stacks that it faces and the remnants of its recent industrial past.
Stop At: Grotta di Fornillo, via Pasitea, Positano Bus Stop Fermata Del Presepe, 84017, Positano Italy
Fornillo Grotto, a cave like indent in the rock on a hairpin bend, decorated with what looks like tiny bare stone houses. in December and January this cave becomes the best presepe (nativity scene) in town.
The little houses are furnished and little people appear, a church is built, a waterfall appears, running into a stream at the bottom of the village end.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Li Galli, Amalfi Italy
Li Galli islands, the three rocky and lonely islands (Gallo Lungo, Castelluccio and Rotonda) located a few miles from the beach of Positano, mirror themselves in the limpid sea facing the pearl of the Amalfi coast. According to old legends, they were inhabited by the sirenes who seduced sailors with their melodious voice: they lost control of their ships that inevitably crashed on the rocks of the islands
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By: Fiordo di Furore, Via Anna Magnani 1, 84010, Furore Italy
The fjord consists of a deep rift in the rock and is crossed by the Schiato stream that glides quickly from the Agerola plateau.
These deep inlets and overhanging rocks are typical of the landscapes of northern Europe and even Furore takes on the physical connotations typical of those fairy-tale landscapes, but they merge them with Mediterranean smells and atmospheres.
Pass By: Spiaggia di Recommone, Strada Privata dalla Spiaggia di Nerano, Massa Lubrense Italy
Recommone is a little beach in a cove between Marina del Cantone and the Crapolla Cove. The beach, about 65 meters long, has clear and small pebbles.
In the small cove of Recommone, at sea level, there are various cavities; the largest is Grotta Recommone, also known as Grotta dei Pescatori (The Fishermen’s Grotto) because it is a gray area where to anchor.
Pass By: Bagni d'Arienzo Beach Club, Positano, Via Arienzo 16, 84017, Positano Italy
The beach of Arienzo is also called of the "three hundred steps" by the number of steps to reach to reach it: a very suggestive stairway from which it is possible to peek inside the gardens of some of the most luxurious villas of the Amalfi Coast, including the one that belonged to Franco Zeffirelli, who hosted several international jet-set characters here.
Pass By: Cala di Mitigliano, Via Scola, 80061, Massa Lubrense Italy
La Cala di Mitigliano is a wide and pleasant bay with a crystal clear sea; the fantastic panorama on the island of Capri and Punta Campanella makes this bay of enchanting beauty. The bay is bordered by high and steep rocks, even the small beach is characterized by the presence of rocks and stones of various sizes; on the right side, a building in the shape of a circular tower, used in the past for the production of lime, recalls the time in which the quarry was active.

Excursions From Sorrento

The boat was very comfortable for the 13 people in our group. We enjoyed great views of the coast throughout, and stopped every once in a while to swim or for our guide to show interesting features in the landscape. The price included several drinks and a large sandwich on board. We were given 90+120 minutes to see Amalfi and Positano on our own. Although our guide gave us some tips when leaving the boat, she did not come with us off-board, so it is useful to read a little about these places ahead of your trip if you wish to make good use of your time exploring them. As summer vehicle traffic is horrendous on the Amalfi coast, doing this boat tour was by far the most scenic, stress-free and efficient way to take in all the great sights there. Make sure to bring towels and swim gear! And also, don't neglect to go back to the Amalfi Coast and visit Ravello on a different day (a beautiful town higher up the slopes with two amazing villa gardens and views).
We were collected from our hotel on time and taken to the harbour where we met our captain. The other guests in our boat were a family of 6 and two other couples. Everyone was varying ages of 20s- 60s. The boats captain was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the areas we sailed past and kept us cool with swims in the ocean and also Prosecco and beer! After a few hours we arrived In Amalfi where we had just under two hours to explore the town. We were given directions of how to get around and also a sandwich which was a very nice touch. We then sailed to Positano and again were given direction around before we enjoyed so more free time. Once back on board we sailed a little longer and had another swim and more Prosecco. On arrival back at Sorrento we were driven back to our hotel. My husband and I really enjoyed this tour and seeing the stunning amalfi coast line. It’s the perfect amount of sailing and also having free time to explore. The boat size of 12 is also good as no one gets in each other’s way. On this tour soft drinks, alcoholic drink, light lunch, snorkel gear and swim floats where all provided
Loved this tour. Amazing views and the boat crew was excellent!
I highly recommend doing this trip. My husband and I researched other companies and found prices ranging from $100-$2,000 for the day and found it hard to choose what would be best experience. We booked because of all the great reviews and low price. We were so pleased with the whole experience that we booked a trip to Capri on another day. Highly recommend, it was the highlight of our trip!
Booking process, pick up, drop off were all well organized. Our captain and guide did a great job of showing us the sites while taking good, safe care of us. The views from the water were amazing and getting to swim off the boat was a lot of fun.
