Sunset Coastal Cruise with Aperitivo, Amalfi Coast
Sail the coast at sunset aboard a traditional "gozzo," sipping Prosecco as golden-hour views unfold between Amalfi and Positano.
Overview
Watch the sun set over the Amalfi Coast on a private cruise aboard a traditional wooden fishing boat. With a local skipper from a family of Amalfi fishermen at the helm, you'll sail the scenic coastline between Amalfi and Positano as the evening light washes the cliffs and villages in shades of gold, orange, and pink. Sip Prosecco and enjoy a snack while hearing local stories and legends, and, if there's interest, you may even be treated to an impromptu accordion performance. This intimate cruise is particularly suited to couples, special occasions, or travelers looking to experience the coast away from the daytime crowds.

What you'll do
Set out from Amalfi in the early evening aboard the Victoria, a gozzo fishing boat that carries up to 12 passengers. Your skipper, an Amalfi native from a family of fishermen, will steer you west along one of the coast's most photogenic stretches toward Positano while sharing stories and local insights about the villages scattered along the shoreline. From the water, take in a different perspective of the Amalfi Coast's steep cliffs and historic watchtowers as the fading daylight softens the landscape and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with plenty of opportunity to photograph the coast from the water.
Then, as the sun begins to sink toward the horizon, settle in with an Italian aperitivo of Prosecco and light refreshments while enjoying the quieter atmosphere away from the daytime crowds. There's even the option to admire your surroundings while your skipper serenades you with his accordion talents. You'll return to Amalfi after about 1.5 hours on the water, as dusk settles over the coastline.
