About this tour
Explore the Amalfi Coast's hidden coves and dramatic cliffs from the water with Giovanni, a local skipper who navigates to secluded spots most visitors miss. This six to seven hour private boat tour includes snorkelling gear, onboard refreshments from water to limoncello, and beach towels. You'll anchor in crystalline bays, spot sea caves, and swim in spots accessible only by boat. The pace is relaxed—you set the rhythm with your captain's expert local knowledge steering the way.

What to expect
You'll board a private vessel and head out along the jagged coastline, stopping at quiet bays where the water is clear enough to see the seabed. Giovanni will point out natural features and suggest the best snorkelling spots based on conditions that day. Bring your own snorkel gear or use what's provided. The boat carries cold drinks and snacks—most days spent floating between swims, exploring grottos, and watching the cliffs rise from the sea. It's peaceful rather than action-packed; expect plenty of time in the water and time to simply sit and absorb the view.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen—it's not provided. The optional Emerald Grotto visit costs €7 per person extra. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Prams and strollers are accommodated. Pack a light cover-up and wear water shoes for rocky entry points. No gratuity included, though tipping the skipper is customary.
