Amalfi Coast Boat Tours: How to Choose the Best Private Boat Tour Amalfi Coast with a Local Captain

Meet Your Captain

Hi, I'm Carmine – a local captain born and raised on the Amalfi Coast. I've spent most of my life at sea, navigating the sparkling waters between Amalfi, Positano, and Capri. Every summer, I welcome travelers from all over the world aboard our boats, sharing the beauty of this coastline the way locals experience it: from the sea.

If you're looking for a private boat tour on the Amalfi Coast, you're in the right place. I know that choosing the right tour can be overwhelming – so many options, so many promises. That’s why I’m here to guide you.

At Amalfi Cruises, we offer three types of private experiences that capture the essence of the Amalfi Coast:

• Full-Day Amalfi Coast Tour

• Half-Day Amalfi Coast Tour

• Sunset Amalfi Coast Cruise

Let me walk you through each one.

Full-Day Private Amalfi Coast Boat Tour – For the Curious Explorer

Duration: 7 hoursIdeal for: Couples, families, small groups who want the full experience

This is our most complete Amalfi Coast boat tour. You'll have a full day to explore the coastline, stopping in hidden bays, snorkeling in crystal-clear water, and discovering beautiful villages like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello from the sea.

We usually start from Amalfi or Positano and cruise all the way past the Furore Fjord and Conca dei Marini, with plenty of time for swimming, relaxing, and even lunch at a seaside restaurant.

Half-Day Amalfi Coast Tour – For the Time-Smart Traveler

Duration: 4 hoursIdeal for: Short stays, cruise guests, or anyone with limited time

This Amalfi Coast excursion gives you the highlights in a compact format. You still get to see Positano, Amalfi, and the coastal gems in between, but in half the time. It's perfect if you want to enjoy the beauty without spending a full day on the water.

You’ll still get swim stops, drinks onboard, and the best views – but you’re back in time for your next adventure.

Sunset Amalfi Coast Cruise – For the Romantics

Duration: 2 hours (evening)Ideal for: Couples, honeymooners, proposal ideas

This is a favorite. There’s nothing quite like watching the sun dip behind the cliffs of Positano while you're toasting with a glass of prosecco on a private boat. The Amalfi Coast sunset cruise is pure magic.

We usually depart late afternoon, cruise along the coast, and stop for photos and quiet moments. It’s peaceful, intimate, and unforgettable.
