Sorrento to Amalfi boat journey – glide past pastel Positano, quiet Praiano and dramatic Furore fjord, cruise around mythical Li Galli islands, free time to wander Amalfi’s historic streets and cathedral, sunset return across the Tyrrhenian Sea with unbeatable coastal views.
The transit from the volcanic cliffs of Sorrento to the historic harbors of the Amalfi Coast is redefined by the Itama 50, a 15-meter open sports yacht that serves as an icon of Italian maritime design.
This private, eight-hour expedition moves with a cruising speed of 23 to 25 knots, cutting through the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea with a flat, stable profile. You move from the shaded coves of the Sorrento Peninsula to the open-air grandeur of the Li Galli islands, where the air is a mix of sea salt and wild Mediterranean herbs.
Because this is a private charter for up to 12 guests, the day is dictated by your pace: whether you want to linger at the Furore Fjord for photography or spend an afternoon exploring the Arab-Norman architecture of Amalfi.
You should book your Itama 50 tour early to secure this specific vessel, as its combination of speed and deck space makes it a primary choice for luxury coastal crossings.
Expect a private, high-performance experience on a vessel designed for "open" Mediterranean living. The Itama 50 features a wide external dinette and large sunbeds at both the bow and the stern. You will feel the physical power of the 1600 hp engines during the transits between villages, but the yacht remains exceptionally stable at anchor. The environment is one of five-star comfort combined with technical maritime efficiency. While the yacht is wheelchair accessible at the dock, the natural movement of the sea and the terrain in the villages require a moderate level of physical mobility.
Our clients suggest bringing a high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen. The sun reflects intensely off the yacht's white surfaces and the water, and standard sunscreen can be restricted in the marine protected areas near Li Galli.
Travellers who booked tours with us recommend utilizing the Bluetooth connection early. Setting the right acoustic tone for the 60-minute cruise along the Sorrento Peninsula makes the transition from the city to the sea feel much more cinematic.
If you want a truly quiet lunch, our past travellers note that the skipper can recommend "secret" beach restaurants in Nerano that are only accessible by sea, bypassing the midday crowds in Amalfi.
Keep your physical ID or passport in a dry bag. Even on a private luxury yacht, the maritime police and port authorities can perform random checks during docking in Amalfi or Positano.
The water clarity and the light for coastal photography vary as the Mediterranean season progresses.
Recommended Start Time: 10:00 AM. Starting in the late morning ensures you reach the deep-water swimming spots just as the sun is at its peak, providing the best visibility for snorkeling.
