Boat Trip from Positano

A popular option is the Li Galli islands trip — three small islands off the Positano coast once owned by Rudolf Nureyev. The waters surrounding Li Galli are a protected marine area with exceptional snorkelling. Your skipper will circle the islands and anchor for a swim before continuing along the coast.

For a romantic experience, choose a sunset boat trip departing around 17:00 in summer. Watch the coastline turn golden as you cruise past Praiano with a glass of prosecco, returning to Positano beach under the first stars. BlueKeys also arranges private boat charters and full-day trips to Capri.

All our Positano boats are traditional gozzo vessels or modern open-deck boats, equipped with sun awnings, snorkelling gear, towels and a cooler with drinks. Skippers are local, licensed professionals who grew up on this stretch of coast. Need a place to stay? Find holiday homes in Positano or explore where to stay on the Amalfi Coast.

Pack light but smart: bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, a waterproof camera and a light jacket for the return journey when the breeze picks up. If you are prone to seasickness, take medication 30 minutes before boarding. The best months are June and September — warm weather, calm seas and fewer crowds than peak July and August.

Group tours carry six to ten guests and start from around €55 per person, making them ideal for solo travellers or couples on a budget. Private charters let you set the pace and route for your party — perfect for families, proposals or milestone celebrations. The price difference pays for itself in flexibility and personal attention from your skipper.

All BlueKeys boats are licensed and inspected annually, carrying life jackets, fire extinguishers and first-aid kits. Our skippers follow responsible boating practices — slow speeds near protected coastline, no anchoring on seagrass beds and eco-friendly onboard products. We are committed to preserving the marine environment that makes this coast so extraordinary.
