Rent a boat on the Amalfi Coast, and make the most of a day at sea to explore the UNESCO-listed area independently. Choose a start point that’s convenient for you, and then cruise around the picture-perfect shorelines, rock formations, seaside towns and islands that make the Amalfi Coast so special. Positano, the Li Galli islands and even the nearby island of Capri are just a few examples of places you may visit. The motorboat seats up to five people, and all fuel, food and drinks are at your own expense.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Exclusive Cruises
Spend a fun and independent day cruising along the beautiful Amalfi Coast on this self-drive boat rental excursion. Meet your boat in Amalfi, Conca dei Marini, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Nerano or Sorrento, and your local supplier will provide basic instructions about your boat. Since this is a self-drive option, you will be your own captain for the day. Your boat rental for the day is a Zodiac, a small yet fast rubber motorboat, or a mini motorboat. Below is only a suggested itinerary with a selection of highlights from the day that you can experience. Note: Sights are marked "Pass By" simply because you can decide to spend as much or as little time as you would like. - Cruise away from shore to discover the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Amalfi Coast and surrounding area at your own pace. Perhaps explore the inlets, grottos and bays that dot the coastline. - Drop anchor for cool-down dips in the sea in the most beautiful spots along the coastline like at the Li Galli islands near Positano. - Nature’s finest attractions abound here, so use your time at sea to check them out; the Lover’s Arch limestone formation, the coral-hued Pandora’s Grotto near Maiori, Faraglioni rocks and, of course, the famous Blue Grotto of Capri are just a few of the coastal region’s treasured sights. - When you are ready for lunch, drop anchor near a seaside restaurant or take a walk as your boat bobs in the sea. Amalfi and Positano are packed with places to eat. - At the end of your rental, cruise back to the start point and pay the local supplier for fuel you have consumed.
2. Li Galli
Stop for a swim in the gorgeous waters surrounding this archipelago of islands off the coastline near Positano.
3. Fiordo di Furore
Cruise right into this fjord on the Amalfi Coast - one of the most photographed spots on the coastline.
4. I Faraglioni
Cruise right through the hole in the center of the Faraglioni rocks!
5. Blue Grotto
Stop to visit the famous Blue Grotto with its electric blue water.

This was quite the experience! The skipper picked us up in Sorrento and ferried us to the next town over, where they left us with the boat and a map with details on where we could or could not anchor. The sea was a bit choppy, and we were in a little boat, so it was a bit rough at times but still made for a beautiful trip. We ended up just going up to Positano and Spending the day on the beach, it was perfect for us! The only thing I was caught off guard by was having to pay additional for the gas after the excursion, we owed another $45 euros on top of the $800+ we already paid for the excursion. Luckily we had the cash on hand.. other that that, it was amazing!

Best way to see Amalfi Coast! Boat was easy to drive, we went from Maiori to Positano and docked at Lucibello - 20 euro for 2 hours - very reasonable. Had lunch and walked around a bit and then headed back toward Maiori and took in the gorgeous coastline. We tried to go swimming at the Grotta dello Smeraldo but worried that the anchor didn't catch the bottom so we just stayed on the boat to be safe. Saw Furore and all the little ports. Absolutely stunning and memorable. Would do again!

The boat itself was nice and we enjoyed a day out on the water. The employees, however, were scammers. When they picked us up at the end of our day, they immediately said we owed them for a lost buoy before they even looked at the boat. There was no inspection before so we don’t even know if that was on the boat prior to leaving. After that, they took us to the gas station to fill the tank. They took one card for payment and said it didn’t go through so we had to provide a different card. After we left, we noticed that they did charge the first card so we double paid. We ended up paying €150 for a quarter tank of gas being paid twice and the “lost” buoy.

What a fantastic day! We started in Sorrento and took a ride around the famous rocks on Capri and then up and down the amalfi coast with a 2 hour stop in Positano for lunch! A fantastic! Fantastic day!!!
Because we were staying outside of Sorrento, we were able to drop the boat off near our rented villa in Massa Lubrense and saved us $$ in cab fare!

It is rare to ever be able to rent your own boat and explore on your own. We took our time and soaked up some of the most beautiful views on the coast. These are modest boats with no frills but got the job done. If you want to go into another port like Positano you pay a boat taxi to take you in. The Almalfie coast never disappoints and it was a perfect day. Thank you.

The boat was great and the views were incredible. Pickup was easy and we were on the water within minutes. It was a very comfortable ride and we would rent again. We loved it!

Staff was nice and welcoming. It was so nice to be able to go wherever we wanted without a scheduled timeline. 6 hours was a perfect amount of time. We were able to snorkel (bring your own equipment), stop for lunch in Positano (to park, a team boards the boat and parks for you), find a hidden beach, and see much of the coast. At first I was hesitant that gas wasn’t included as filling a boat can be quite costly, but it ended up working out for the best as they give you the boat with a full tank then you pay to refill what you used at the end.
