Private excursion

About this tour

Discover the Tyrrhenian coastline aboard a private boat along Italy's Costa Degli Dei, a three-hour coastal voyage featuring sheltered coves and dramatic clifftop villages. Your skipper navigates to secluded swimming spots whilst you sample regional aperitivo—cured meats, cheeses, and local wines—served on deck. The pace suits various fitness levels, though those with cardiac concerns should sit this one out.

Highlights

• Private boat access to hidden swimming coves
• Regional aperitivo with cured meats and wines
• Clifftop villages visible from the water
• Flexible itinerary based on weather and preference
• Three-hour round trip from departure point
• Shallow-water stops for swimming optional

What to expect

You'll board a well-maintained vessel with shade and seating for the full duration. Your guide sets the route based on sea conditions and your interests—some travellers prefer anchor-and-swim stops, others want closer looks at coastal architecture. The aperitivo arrives mid-voyage, served on deck with time to linger. Water is generally calm along this stretch, though occasional gentle swell is normal. Swimming is optional; non-swimmers stay aboard.

Good to know

Bring sun protection and a light layer for wind. Public buses serve the harbour. Not suitable if you have significant heart conditions. Water shoes help rocky entry points. Roughly half the group typically swims; the boat remains stationary during these stops.
