Sailing the Amalfi Coast
There is something magical about turning off the engine and letting the wind carry you along the Amalfi Coast. The only sounds are the creak of rigging, the splash of waves and the distant church bells of cliff-top villages. BlueKeys arranges sailing charters on classic yachts departing from Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi harbour.

Our sailing fleet includes 10-metre to 14-metre sailing yachts — classic and modern — each with a professional skipper and full sail plan. Unlike motor boats, a sailboat moves quietly through the water, offering a more intimate and peaceful experience. The pace is slower, the connection to the sea is deeper, and the views are savoured rather than rushed.
A full-day sailing charter follows the coastline from Sorrento to Positano or from Amalfi to Capri, depending on wind conditions. The skipper adjusts the route to make the most of the breeze, and guests are welcome to help trim sails, take the helm or simply recline in the cockpit. Swimming stops in secluded bays are a highlight. Browse all our tours.
Half-day sails of four to five hours focus on a stretch of coast — Sorrento Peninsula bays, the Li Galli islands off Positano, or the stretch between Amalfi and Conca dei Marini. Sunset sailing charters are particularly special, with the light painting the cliffs gold as you glide home.
Sailing experience is not required — your skipper handles everything. BlueKeys can also pair your sailing charter with a holiday apartment, a food tour or an airport transfer for a complete holiday package.
Wear non-marking rubber-soled shoes on deck, bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a warm layer — sailing is breezier than motor boating. A waterproof bag protects electronics during splashes. The best sailing months are May through October; June and September offer reliable thermal winds and pleasant temperatures. Seasickness is less common on sailboats thanks to their stable hull design.
Group sailing experiences (4–8 guests) offer an affordable introduction to the Amalfi Coast under sail, starting from around €100 per person for a half-day. Private sailing charters start from €500 and give your group the freedom to adjust sails, choose anchorages and linger wherever the wind takes you — a truly bespoke day on the water.
All BlueKeys sailing yachts carry full safety equipment — life jackets, harnesses, fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit — and are inspected before every season. Sailing is inherently low-impact: wind propulsion means minimal emissions, and our skippers avoid anchoring on protected seabeds. Choose sailing for a greener, quieter way to experience the Amalfi Coast.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need sailing experience?
No experience is required. A professional skipper handles the boat. You can participate as much or as little as you like — from trimming sails to simply relaxing.
How much does a sailing charter on the Amalfi Coast cost?
Half-day sailing charters from approximately €500. Full-day charters from €900 to €1,800 depending on yacht size and season.
What is the difference between sailing and a motor boat tour?
Sailing is quieter, slower and more intimate. You move with the wind rather than fighting it. Motor boats cover more distance and follow a fixed itinerary. Sailing routes depend on wind conditions.
Can we sail to Capri?
Yes, Capri is a popular sailing destination from Sorrento (about 2 hours depending on wind). Full-day charters can include an island circumnavigation and free time ashore.
What happens if there is no wind?
All sailing yachts have auxiliary engines. If winds are very light, we use the engine to reach good sailing areas or to ensure you cover the planned route. Most days offer reliable thermal breezes from late morning.
What should I bring on a sailing trip?
Non-marking rubber-soled shoes, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a warm layer (it is windier under sail) and a waterproof bag for electronics. Towels, snorkelling gear and drinks are provided on board.
Is it possible to customize the sailing route?
Yes, private charters offer full flexibility. The skipper adapts the route based on wind conditions and your preferences — popular requests include a lunch anchorage at Nerano, a sunset return or extending to a full circumnavigation of Capri.
