- 60 minutes sailing from the port
The stretch from Punta Campanella to Amalfi, with the cliffs of Praiano dropping straight into the sea. We sail slowly along the coast, stopping in the most sheltered coves.
- Where we stop
- From Punta Campanella to Amalfi we sail slowly along the coast and stop in the coves offering the most shelter that day.
- When to go
- The whole day, leaving early in the morning: reaching Amalfi takes about 60 minutes of sailing.
The places around Amalfi Coast that are best seen from the boat.
A narrow gorge between two sheer walls, carved by the stream and spanned high above by the bridge of the coast road. At the end are a pebble beach and the fishermen’s houses.
- From the sea
- From a distance the gorge cannot be seen: it opens up when the boat is almost at the entrance.
A grotto at Conca dei Marini where the water is emerald green: the light enters through a fissure below sea level. The stalactite columns are more than ten metres tall.
- From the sea
- The entrance opens at water level, at the foot of the cliff.
- Good to know
- You enter in the boatman’s boat, and opening times depend on the sea.
The church of San Gennaro stands on the edge of the cliff, above the village of Praiano. The dome is covered in yellow and green majolica, and the square in front of it is paved with the same tiles.
- From the sea
- From the water you recognise the dome first, and only then the village behind it.
A narrow cove between two rock walls, with a pebble beach at the end and the traditional local boats pulled up on the shore. On the headland beside it stands the Torre a Mare, an old watchtower.
- From the sea
- You view it from the entrance: the cove is only a few dozen metres wide.
The headland that closes the marina of Conca dei Marini, with a sixteenth-century watchtower on the point. Here the rock meets the sea with no village above it, which is rare on this coast.
- From the sea
- Passing offshore you see it in profile, with the tower on top.
