How does a private boat charter from Amalfi work?
Updated June 2026
A private boat charter from Amalfi is a full-day rental of a boat with a professional skipper, departing from the Amalfi seafront. Day rates run from €1,800 to €5,880 depending on the boat, for up to twelve guests. You book by sending a request; the BlueKeys concierge then confirms availability — there is no instant online payment. By sea you can reach Positano, Capri with its Faraglioni and Blue Grotto, the Grotta dello Smeraldo at Conca dei Marini, the fjord of Furore and the Li Galli islets.
Amalfi sits at the centre of its namesake coast, which makes it one of the most practical places to put to sea. You leave the Amalfi seafront and turn along a wall of cliffs broken by tiny inlets: within minutes you are passing the deep cleft of the fjord of Furore and Santa Croce beach, with open water on one side and terraced villages climbing the rock on the other. With a skipper at the helm you decide whether the day is a slow drift between swim stops or a longer run out to Capri.
The fleet at Amalfi runs from traditional wooden gozzi to fast cruisers and motor yachts. Classic boats like the Gozzo Apreamare 35 (up to 12 guests) and the Gagliotta 37 suit an unhurried day at anchor; faster hulls such as the Tornado 40, the Tullio Abbate Soleil and the Pershing 37 cover more coastline; and the Azimut 16.5 and Princess V65 (up to 12 guests) work for larger groups or a more formal day out. Day rates range from €1,800 to €5,880.
A private charter suits couples after a quiet afternoon at anchor, families who want an easy day of swimming, and groups marking an occasion. Because every boat comes with a professional skipper, no licence is needed: you choose the pace, the swims and the lunch spot, while the skipper handles navigation, mooring and knows which coves stay calm when the afternoon breeze picks up.
