Overview

Discover the best of the Amalfi Coast and not to be missed highlights on a private boat excursion. This is a great option as well if you are in port on a cruise ship and have one day to really experience all that the coast has to offer. See the coastline through the eyes of a local with your own private boat and captain, swim in the various inlets and bays and check out the natural formations and grottos. The private excursion can customized by allocating the time you have based on what you are most interested in seeing along the itinerary.
