Boat excursion along the Amalfi Coast

One of the most beautiful times to see the Amalfi Coast from the sea is early in the morning or when the sun set .




The first town coming from Salerno is Vietri sul Mare, the Amalfi Coast’s famous town of ceramics.

Next up is the fishing village of Cetara , it is a seaside village with one of the most picturesque beaches on the Amalfi Coast.



Then it comes Erchie, it is an even smaller village that not everybody knows but it is nice to give a visit if you are looking for a quiet spot.

Maiori with its marine cave called PANDORA'S GROTTO, where it is possible to enter with a boat to experience this beautiful natural wonder.

Minori it is a pretty nice town with with its archaeological roman Villa.



Nearby there is MARMORATA FALLS, looking up it is possible to admire the majestically RAVELLO.

It is very famous for being the city of of music, and for the 2 magnificent villas called :Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone.

Looking to the left there is Atrani , one of the ,most beautiful sea side place along the Amalfi Coast with its bright colours of the buildings.

Just around the corner from Atrani, we find Amalfi the Old Maritime Republic where you can visit the the EMERALD GROTTO.



Sailing west, you will point out the FURORE FJORD, a deep inlet where the International Diving Championships are held annually and then cruise along the twin-mountain town of PRAIANO.



POSITANO is the vibrant town with a fashionable beach setting , before steering out to sea to visit the mythical islands of LI GALLI.

The islands are legendary as it is said Ulysses had to tie himself to the mast of his ship in order to resist the singing of the sirens.

CAPRI is now within reach at PUNTA CAMPANELLA, where the AMALFI COAST officially ends and the SORRENTO COAST begins.



A must in Capri is the visit to the famous BLUE GROTTO, the FARAGLIONI rock formation and the WHITE and GREEN GROTTOS.
