About our boat tours

The most popular half-day tour heads east toward Amalfi, hugging the coastline past the Li Galli islands, the Furore Fjord and the Emerald Grotto at Conca dei Marini. The skipper anchors for a swimming stop where the water is crystal clear and the only sounds are seabirds and gentle waves. Browse all our boat tours for times and availability.

Full-day tours extend the itinerary to include Capri — the boat crosses the open water to circumnavigate the island, passing the Faraglioni and the Blue Grotto before returning via the Sorrento coastline. It is the ultimate Amalfi Coast boat experience, covering two of Italy's most famous stretches of water in a single day.

Every Positano boat tour includes a professional local skipper, sun awning, snorkelling gear, towels and a cooler with complimentary drinks. Private charters let you choose the route and pace, while group tours (6–10 guests) offer a social atmosphere at a lower price.

Combine your boat tour with a sunset cruise for an evening on the water, or book a holiday home in Positano to wake up steps from the beach. For easy arrival, arrange a transfer from Naples.

Wear a swimsuit under light clothing and pack sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a light windbreaker for the return leg. A waterproof phone pouch is a must for swimming stops. Seasickness is rare on the calm coastal waters, but take tablets 30 minutes before if you are prone. The best months are May through September, with June and September offering fewer crowds.

Group tours (6–10 guests) are the most affordable option starting from €55 per person for a half-day. Private charters give your group exclusive use of the boat — choose your route, set the pace and stop wherever you like. For families or groups of four or more, a private charter often works out to a similar per-person cost as group tickets.

Safety is our priority: all boats are annually inspected and carry life jackets, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. Our skippers are licensed professionals who respect marine park regulations, avoid anchoring on Posidonia seagrass and keep noise low near protected cliffs. By choosing BlueKeys you support eco-friendly boat tours that protect this stunning coastline.
