What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Amalfi, Amalfi, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Once everybody has jumped on board and had a little briefing about how we're going to spend the sunset hours, we will be ready to set off to the west towards Praiano.
The route will take us along Amalfi Coast’s finest beaches as well as into sea caves.
Not too far from the starting point, right after leaving the center of Amalfi, we will get close to the Saint Andrew Grotto, a huge natural sea cave full of stalactites named after the patron saint of Amalfi (Andrea).
Then, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, we will stop by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing. Up to not too long ago young couples used to get married on the top of it.
A little later we will cruise in front of the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, passing near the villa of Sophia Loren and seeing the historic hotel “Il Saraceno” located on La Vite Beach.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Conca dei Marini, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Conca dei Marini used to be an ancient fishermen village. Here we will have a beautiful view of Furore and Praiano villages and the islands of Li Galli and Capri, together with the well-known Faraglioni Rocks. We will also get the chance to admire the Santa Rosa Monastery, a former convent now converted into a luxury hotel, once home of the Dominican nuns. It's right in the kitchens of this monastery that the delicious "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" was born, a shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta cheese-based cream and little dried fruit pieces, typical of the local culinary tradition (don't forget to taste it before leaving!).
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Fiordo di Furore, Fiordo di Furore, Furore, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Right after leaving Conca dei Marini village, we will reach then the famous Furore Fjord, the only natural fjord we have in Italy and location of the international diving competition "MarMeeting": every year in July, professional divers from around the world compete by jumping from the top of the bridge which is 28 meters high.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Praiano, Praiano, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Finally we will go round the cape of Praiano, where we will stop for a break and to go swimming as the warm hues that light up the sky reflect off the shimmering waters.

It was wonderful experience! Great boat captain Giuseppe, who handled everything perfectly. I would really recommend to come one hour earlier, as it is recommended, because we had a stressful time to find parking space for our car, especially on Italian holiday season (August)

Our skipper, Raphael, provided a very good narrative of the coastal history and his outgoing personality made for a fun trip. Highly recommend.

The tour was well organized from beginning to end and our tour guide Raphael was telling us all about the Amalfi Coast as we were cruising past and he was very funny as well. It was great to see the amazing Amalfi coast from out at sea with great music being played alongside lovely drinks which were provided. We would definitely recommend to everyone of all ages and we will be doing this again when we return to Amalfi.
