The Itinerary – What to Expect
The tour kicks off at the Positano pier, where you step aboard a well-maintained, comfortable boat that feels luxurious but not stuffy. From there, the vessel heads along the coastline, offering vistas of hidden beaches and the charming town of Praiano. This stretch is perfect for those who love panoramic views and wish to get a sense of the coast’s secret corners.
The first key stop is near the Furore Fjord, a dramatic natural gorge famous for its rugged beauty and vibrant history. Here, the boat slows down, giving you the chance to capture photos of the fjord’s steep cliffs and the azure water. One review pointed out how “beautiful” the boat is, and how navigating the coastline was a highlight, especially during sunset.
Next, the boat sails past Praiano, a quieter, less touristy stretch of coast that offers an authentic feel of local life. The captain will likely adjust the route based on the weather and light, focusing on the best spots to enjoy the sunset.
The highlight of the tour is dropping anchor near the Li Galli Islets, a small cluster of islands famous for their legend and stunning scenery. On this tranquil spot, you can relax, sip your drinks, listen to music, and take in the spectacular views. The silence, the gentle rocking of the boat, and the setting sun create a perfect atmosphere for reflection or just soaking in the natural beauty.
