From the guide

Begin your adventure with a comfortable transfer to the port, where a swift hydrofoil awaits to carry you along the sparkling Campanian coast. As you sail, let your eyes wander across the Gulf of Naples, from the ancient Castel dell'Ovo to the majestic Mount Vesuvius. Along the way, admire the legendary Li Galli island as your guide weaves enchanting stories of the sea.

In Amalfi, breathe in the history of the sun-drenched square and visit the magnificent Cathedral. The journey then leads to Positano, a vertical gem of pastel houses, boutiques, and vibrant ceramics. Lose yourself in its narrow alleys or enjoy a gelato by the water before a scenic return.

Please note there are brief technical stops at Capri and Sorrento where disembarking is not possible. For the most breathtaking views, we suggest sitting on the left side toward Capri and the right side toward Sorrento. Join us to experience the coast from its most beautiful perspective.
