Private Boat Charter on the Amalfi Coast

A private boat charter is the ultimate way to experience the Amalfi Coast on your own terms. No fixed schedule, no shared space — just you, your group and a local skipper who knows every hidden beach, sea cave and waterfront restaurant along the coastline. BlueKeys arranges bespoke private charters departing from Positano, Amalfi, Sorrento and Salerno.

Our private charter fleet ranges from classic 7-metre gozzo boats — the traditional wooden vessels of the Amalfi Coast — to modern 12-metre motor yachts with sun decks and onboard showers. Every boat comes with an experienced local skipper, full safety equipment, snorkelling gear, towels and a cooler stocked with water, prosecco and seasonal fruit.

A typical full-day private charter begins in the morning and lasts seven to eight hours. A popular itinerary from Positano heads east toward Amalfi, stopping at the Emerald Grotto and Furore Fjord, before continuing to Cetara for a long, lazy lunch of fresh anchovies. From Sorrento, most guests sail south to Capri for the Blue Grotto and island circumnavigation, with a swimming stop at Marina Piccola.

Half-day charters of four hours are ideal if your time is limited. You can cover the highlights between Positano and Amalfi, or do a sunset cruise along the coast with aperitivo on board. BlueKeys also organises special-occasion charters — proposals, anniversaries, birthdays — with flowers, cake and champagne arranged in advance. Pair your charter with a luxury holiday home in Positano for the ultimate coast experience.

Every charter is fully customisable. Tell us your interests — photography, snorkelling, gastronomy, history — and our team will design a route that matches. Arriving from Naples? A private airport transfer delivers you directly to the marina. Prices depend on boat type, duration and season, and we are transparent about costs from the first enquiry. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Can I choose where the boat goes?

Absolutely. Private charters are fully customisable. You decide the departure point, the route, how long to stay at each stop and where to have lunch. Your skipper will suggest the best spots based on weather and sea conditions.

How many people can fit on a private boat?

Our classic gozzo boats accommodate up to 10 passengers comfortably. Larger motor yachts can carry 12 or more. For groups over 12 we can arrange multiple boats sailing together. Let us know your group size and we will recommend the best option.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my charter?

Safety comes first. If conditions are unsafe, we offer a full reschedule or refund. In borderline weather, the skipper may suggest an adjusted route that avoids open water while still delivering a great experience.
