Scenic Sailing: What to Expect on a Boat Tour From Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi

Once on board, your journey southward will first pass Punta Campanella and the Li Galli islands—legendary home of Homer’s sirens—before arriving in Positano. With its pastel-colored cliffside houses and designer boutiques, this fishing village-turned-jet-set haven is a must-see. From here, the route continues to Amalfi, home of the historic Maritime Republic and the stunning Cathedral of Saint Andrew. Depending on timing and interest, you can also include swimming stops, detours to lesser-known beaches, or a pause for a lunch prepared by our on-board chefs.

Highlights Along the Route

Each moment on this route offers something worth remembering. Swimming in the hidden bays near Nerano, admiring the vertical villages that seem carved into the cliffs, or marveling at Amalfi’s domes and mosaics—every stretch of coast has its story. In Positano, you might stroll through art galleries or grab a fresh granita. In Amalfi, don’t miss the paper museum or the famous lemon desserts. The boat allows you to visit these highlights at your own rhythm, free from crowds or ferry schedules.
