Sunset Boat Tour from Positano

The hour before sunset is when the Amalfi Coast reveals its true palette: terracotta and white houses glow amber, the sea turns from turquoise to deep gold, and fishing boats dot the horizon. Your skipper knows the best viewing positions and will anchor in calm water for photography. Most of our sunset tours include prosecco, local snacks and a refreshing swim in the last of the warm afternoon light.

Private sunset charters from Positano let you design your own evening — choose your route, your music and your menu. Some guests opt for a twilight dinner aboard, served as the coastline dims to silhouette. Others prefer an active sunset swim followed by drinks at anchor off Praiano. Whatever you have in mind, your skipper will make it happen. Browse private boat options.

The return to Positano beach at dusk — lights beginning to twinkle on the hillside, the sound of the boat engine cutting through warm evening air — is one of those travel memories that stays with you. Many guests combine a sunset tour with a daytime boat trip around the Amalfi Coast or an excursion to Capri for a full day on the water.

Practical tips: book sunset tours at least 48 hours in advance as they sell out quickly in summer. Evening sea conditions on the Amalfi Coast are typically calmer than mornings. Bring a light jacket or cardigan — once the sun sets the temperature drops noticeably, especially on the return. Sandals you can get wet are recommended as you board from the beach.

All BlueKeys sunset boats are equipped with running lights, safety equipment and experienced, licensed skippers. We follow responsible boating practices — slow speeds near the coastline, no anchor drops on protected seagrass and no single-use plastics aboard. Our skippers have spent decades on this stretch of coast and take genuine pride in showing it at its most magnificent.
