What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Vietri sul Mare, Vietri sul Mare, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
White, green and light blue, the typical colours of ceramic made in Vietri; these colours reflect in the waters the spirit of the village that was once a small port. Two rocks seen in the middle of the sea are called “I due fratelli” became the symbol of the village (according to the legend these rocks represent two brothers reunited after their death by the divinities of the sea). Vietri is very characteristic because of its white plaster rococo buildings, its sheltered narrow lanes, the laundry hanging outside, its balconies, fountains and the shop signs made of ceramic.
Pass By: Torre Crestarella - Spiaggia, Matrimoni, Eventi, Ristorante e Cocktailbar, Via Cristoforo Colombo, 27, 84019 Vietri sul mare SA, Italy
A scenic tower which dates back to the XVI century, “Torre Crestarella”, built by the Spanish viceroy of Naples, Don Pedro de Toledo, dominates the beach which also carries the name of the tower. With its 120 metres of sand mixed with small pebbles, Crestarella beach is our first stop.
Pass By: Cetara, Cetara, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Afterwards, approaching Cetara, you will experience the illusion of looking at a small oasis: the reflection of the small houses sparkles on the water and the surrounding rocks of the strand. Catara was the ancient Saracen fortress and its name comes from Latin Cetariae, “tonnara” (tuna-fishing net).
Pass By: Spiaggia dei Limoni, Strada Statale Amalfitana, 60, 84010 Maiori SA, Italy
Further on we discover “Spiaggia dei Limoni”, a small bay 20 metres long accessible by sea only, a preserved place of beauty. It is nestled into a bushy lemon tree grove that dominates from above and a rocky wall sheltering it from the western breeze.
Pass By: Torre La Cerniola, Via Marina Snc, 84010 Erchie Italy
Afterwards, between the sky and the sea, the tower of Erchie. At this point, you will feel as if you would never want to break the silence of such enchanting natural beauty. Here, peace and nature blend together. The Tower of Erchie, with its four machicolations at the top, is made of local calcareous stone and today is in very good condition, compared to the other towers of the coast. Its original shape has been preserved through the centuries, with its enchanting position on the rocks that fall into the calm waters.
Stop At: Maiori, Maiori, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Then we will pass Maiori, with its ancient marine style, characterized by art and cuisine, “an imaginary city, a history not completely lost…” (Salvatore Quasimodo). Near at Capo d'Orso, enjoy swimming in the blue water.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Minori, Minori, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Next, we will see Minori, the city of flavour, where limoncello, pasta and traditional pastries are produced. The typically tapered lemons have excellent organic and medicinal properties and are an essentiel ingredient of Amalfi Coast cuisine.
Pass By: Conca dei Marini, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
When the sky seems to blend into the sea, it is time to approach Conca dei Marini, where in 1700 a shell-shaped cake was baked for the first time in Santa Rosa monastery. It was made of thousands of thin puff pastries rolled into each other, filled with custard and black cherries: the so called “sfogliatella di Santa Rosa”.
Stop At: Capo Conca, 84010 Conca dei Marini, SA, Italy
Going beyond Capo di Conca, we will stop at a beautiful bay with clear and shallow waters just under the cliffs, often the spot of visiting bathers, scuba divers and canoeists. You cannot resist the temptation of bathing in the waters of “Fiordo di Furore” which is accessible by sea or by the steps along the rocks leading to the beach. It is a wonderful experience especially around midday when the sun rays reach down to the cliffs. Deep waters offshore, pebbles and crystal clear waters ashore.
Pass By: Praiano, Praiano, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Later we discover Praiano reaching the islet of Galli. Once it was called “the mermaid’s island”: it is said that Ulysses passed here avoiding the three captivating mermaids Partenope, Leucosia and Legea. This is where the coast becomes a real living paradise, and it is said that ancient locals weren’t worried about going to heaven or hell in death since they had already experienced heaven during their lifetime on the Amalfi Coast.
Stop At: Positano, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Going further we find a series of white houses, arches and domes famous all over the world: this is Positano. Positano is full of rocks that look like goddesses, colored boutiques and art galleries; here you can truly feel the influence and tradition of religion and local cuisine. Here you can enjoy the best spots and have a swim or going out in the city.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Amalfi, Amalfi, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Continuing we discover Atrani and Amalfi; you can experience Amalfi by boat or by land excursions, walking along its narrow streets with steps that lead up to the top of the city. A fascinating small town with ancient white walls and an irresistible marine style, the deep grayness of its steps, a delicious local lemon cream dessert, red hot peppers sold along the lanes, the green majolicas and the ancient history of the famous Amalfi paper.

Absolutely the best experience ever!!! Amelia and the driver were so friendly!!! They were very informative about the area. They also provided us with towels, drinks, snacks, and even ‘pool noodles’ (flotation devices) so we could relax while swimming in the water. When our first trip was cancelled because of bad weather, they went out of their way to help us change the trip for the following day, which included driving us to the train station afterward so we could enjoy as much time possible on the boat. Seeing Amalfi from the water is the only way to see the coast. Highly recommend!!! Worth every penny!!! 😀😀😃We had a magical day on the water with Luca and Amelia. The boat is extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated. This is the only way to see the Amalfi coast -from the water!

This was one of the best things we did on our trip! Luca and Amelia were absolutely lovely, their boat was beautiful!!! Extremely well taken care of (looked brand new). We had lovely fruit and cheese platter and Prosecco. We stopped at all the beautiful sites and they were happy to let us customize as we saw fit. I almost cancelled this trip because we had just done one to Capri two days prior, I am so glad we didn’t- it was an absolutely amazing experience.
