You will never see the Amalfi Coast like this! You will discover the Amalfi Coast’s hidden delights and breathtaking views from a typical Amalfitan Gozzo boat as the sun sets over the horizon, thanks to the comprehensive experience and knowledge of local captains and in a very small group (max 10 participants)!
The route to Praiano will take us along Amalfi’s finest beaches as well as close to natural rock arches and into fjords, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast.
We will visit beaches reachable only by sea and have time to go swimming in crystal-clear waters.
Please note:
- This tour focuses mainly on enjoying the sunset hours while relaxing with drinks and good music rather than snorkeling.
- Our boats are 8 to 10 meters (26.2 to 32.8 ft) Amalfi Coast "Gozzo", a very evocative and spacious type of boat original of this area.
- All boats have a little bathroom that can be used in case of necessity during the breaks.

1Amalfi
Once everybody has jumped on board and had a little briefing about how we're going to spend the sunset hours, we will be ready to set off to the west towards Praiano. The route will take us along Amalfi Coast’s finest beaches as well as into sea caves. Not too far from the starting point, right after leaving the center of Amalfi, we will get close to the Saint Andrew Grotto, a huge natural sea cave full of stalactites named after the patron saint of Amalfi (Andrea). Then, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, we will stop by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing. Up to not too long ago young couples used to get married on the top of it. A little later we will cruise in front of the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, passing near the villa of Sophia Loren and seeing the historic hotel “Il Saraceno” located on La Vite Beach.

Conca dei Marini used to be an ancient fishermen village. Here we will have a beautiful view of Furore and Praiano villages and the islands of Li Galli and Capri, together with the well-known Faraglioni Rocks. We will also get the chance to admire the Santa Rosa Monastery, a former convent now converted into a luxury hotel, once home of the Dominican nuns. It's right in the kitchens of this monastery that the delicious "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" was born, a shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta cheese-based cream and little dried fruit pieces, typical of the local culinary tradition (don't forget to taste it before leaving!).
