Our fleet includes traditional gozzo boats (5–8 metres) perfect for couples and small groups, modern speedboats for those who want to cover more coastline, and luxury motor yachts for special occasions. Every boat comes equipped with sun awnings, cushions, snorkelling gear, a Bluetooth speaker and a cooler with complimentary water and soft drinks. View all our boat tours and charters.
The most popular rental is a full-day gozzo with skipper — depart in the morning, cruise to Capri or along the coast to the Emerald Grotto, anchor for lunch at a seaside restaurant in Nerano, and return to your departure point by sunset. Half-day rentals of four hours are ideal for a morning swim session or a sunset cruise.
Self-drive boat hire is available for guests who hold a valid boating licence (no licence required for boats under 40 HP in Italy). BlueKeys provides a safety briefing, a suggested route and a waterproof map highlighting the best swimming spots, sea caves and restaurants accessible by boat.
Boat rental prices on the Amalfi Coast vary by season, boat type and duration. BlueKeys quotes transparent, all-inclusive prices with no hidden fuel surcharges or harbour fees. Combine your rental with a holiday apartment or arrange a transfer from Naples airport for a seamless holiday.
Wear a swimsuit under light clothing, bring reef-safe sunscreen, polarised sunglasses, a hat and rubber-soled shoes for boarding. A waterproof dry bag keeps valuables safe during swimming stops. The ideal rental months are May through October, with June and September offering the best balance of warm water, calm seas and affordable rates.
Group boat rentals with shared skipper are an economical way to enjoy the coast, starting from around €55 per person for a half-day. For complete freedom, a private charter lets you design every detail — from departure time to lunch spot. Families and groups of friends often find that splitting a private rental offers better value than individual group tickets.
Every BlueKeys rental boat holds a valid navigation licence and undergoes annual safety inspections. Onboard you will find life jackets for all sizes, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. Our skippers navigate at responsible speeds near the coastline, avoid anchoring on protected Posidonia seagrass and use biodegradable cleaning products. Sustainable tourism keeps this coast beautiful for generations.
