What to expect

One of the most photogenic stretches of coastline in the world is just a boat trip away from Sorrento. Set out along the craggy cliffs and secluded bays to Positano and Amalfi with plenty of stops for swimming during this full day excursion.

Our first port of call will be Amalfi, where you'll have an hour or so of free time to drink up the atmosphere and even sit with a gelato or refreshing drink at one of the pavement-side cafés lining the Piazza del Duomo.

Then, sailing past the Amalfi coastline, stopping to swim as we please, we'll make our way to Positano. Here you'll step off the boat onto dry land for some more free time to explore the candy-coloured houses tumbling down steep cliffs and crooked lanes packed with cafés and bakeries. On our way back to port, you'll be treated to a limoncello tasting on board the boat.
