Amalfi

Amalfi is the historical heart of the coast and a natural starting point for the tour. During this stop, guests receive an introduction to the Amalfi Coast, its maritime history, and its unique geology shaped by cliffs, valleys, and centuries of seafaring culture. From the sea, the town reveals its iconic cathedral, layered architecture, and strategic position that once made it a powerful maritime republic.

Atrani

Atrani is a small, authentic fishing village located just beside Amalfi. Here, we explain the coastal morphology, traditional village layouts, and how communities adapted to limited land between sea and mountains. On request, the boat can stop nearby for a snorkeling break, allowing guests to enjoy clear waters while learning about the marine environment and rocky seabed typical of this area.

Major

Maiori is known for the longest beach on the Amalfi Coast and a more open coastline. During the stop, we describe the transition from steep cliffs to wider coastal plains and the historical importance of this area for agriculture and defense. On request, guests can enjoy a snorkeling stop offshore, combining relaxation with an explanation of coastal currents and underwater visibility.

Conca dei Marini

Conca dei Marini is a quiet village perched above the sea, famous for the Emerald Grotto. Here, we explain the geological formation of sea caves and cliffs shaped by erosion. On request, guests may stop for snorkeling in the surrounding waters. Additionally, it is possible to reserve a seaside restaurant, where guests can enjoy a one-hour lunch break in a scenic setting.

Furore

Furore is renowned for its dramatic fjord, carved deep into the rock by water and time. During the passage, we provide a detailed explanation of the coastline’s geological evolution and the unique “scattered village” structure above the cliffs. The contrast between vertical rock walls and deep blue water makes this one of the most striking points along the route.

Beachgoer

Praiano offers open sea views and a calmer atmosphere between Amalfi and Positano. Here, we discuss the orientation of the coast, traditional fishing practices, and the importance of sunlight and wind in shaping daily life. On request, the boat can stop for snorkeling, giving guests time to swim while learning about the marine landscape and coastal depth changes.

Positano

Positano marks the scenic conclusion of the tour. Approaching from the sea, we explain the vertical development of the town, the coastline’s steep gradients, and why this area became an international icon. The layered houses, beaches, and cliffs are best understood from the water, where guests can fully appreciate the harmony between nature and architecture.
