Boat Tour from Amalfi

Amalfi is the historic heart of the coast and an ideal starting point for a boat tour. From the harbour beneath the famous Duomo you can head west toward Positano, east toward Cetara and Salerno, or combine both directions in a full-day itinerary. BlueKeys offers daily boat tours from Amalfi harbour in group and private format.

About our boat tours

The most popular route heads west along the coast. Within minutes of leaving the harbour you reach the Emerald Grotto at Conca dei Marini — a sea cave illuminated by an eerie green light that rivals Capri's Blue Grotto. From there the boat continues past the Furore Fjord to Praiano and on to Positano, with swimming stops along the way. Browse all tours.

For a different perspective, the eastern route visits Atrani (the smallest town in southern Italy), Minori, Maiori and Cetara — a fishing village famous for its anchovy sauce. This route is less crowded and reveals the quieter, more authentic side of the Amalfi Coast that most tourists miss.

Full-day tours from Amalfi can reach Capri, covering the entire Gulf of Naples in a single epic day. BlueKeys also offers sunset cruises from Amalfi harbour — particularly beautiful as the evening light illuminates the Duomo and the stacked houses behind it.

All tours include a local skipper, snorkelling gear, drinks and sun awning. After your tour, explore Ravello in the hills above — a 20-minute bus ride rewards you with some of the finest views in Italy. Where to stay on the coast or transfer from Naples.

Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a waterproof phone pouch and a light jacket for the afternoon breeze. Wear shoes that can get wet for easy boarding at the harbour. If you are prone to seasickness, take medication before departure — coastal waters around Amalfi are generally calm. The best months are May through October, with June and September offering warm seas and thinner crowds.

Group tours (6–10 guests) start from €55 per person for a half-day — ideal for budget-conscious travellers who still want a premium coastal experience. Private charters start from €400 and let you design the itinerary around your interests, whether that means extra time at the Emerald Grotto or a seafood lunch in a hidden cove.

Every BlueKeys boat departing from Amalfi is licensed, inspected yearly and equipped with life jackets, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. Our skippers practise responsible seamanship — low speeds near cliffs and grottoes, no anchoring on Posidonia seagrass and eco-friendly products on board. We take the preservation of this UNESCO-worthy coastline seriously.
