Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento: Swim & Light Lunch

About this experience

The Amalfi Coast is a jewel waiting for you to discover it. A delightful sea ride, on board of a comfortable boat with a small group of 12 passengers, is the best way to admire the show that the coast offers: the sea and the mountain meet each other, creating a breathtaking landscape. You can explore the beautiful towns of Positano and Amalfi, swim and snorkel, and relax with an happy hour on the boat at the end of the day, while having a taste of our local limoncello. On board you will find an experienced captain, ready to make sure your day is going to be unforgettable! What else? We are waiting for you!
