About Our Service along the Sorrento Peninsula and Amalfi Coast
The experience begins at around 9:15 AM in the port of Sorrento, where you will meet your captain and board for a smooth departure along one of Italy’s most visually captivating coastlines. From the very first part of the cruise, the Sorrento Peninsula reveals its character through dramatic cliffs, rocky inlets, and sea-facing villages that seem suspended between land and water. This early stretch of navigation is more than a transfer from one point to another - it is part of the pleasure of the day, allowing guests to settle into the charter, take in the scenery, and enjoy the yacht’s comfortable open and shaded areas. Because the charter is private, the pace can remain relaxed and responsive, with your skipper helping fine-tune stop durations and suggesting scenic moments worth pausing for along the way.
Day 1 By around 10:00 AM, the yacht reaches the legendary Li Galli Islands, a small island group surrounded by clear water and rich in myth. This is one of the day’s most peaceful moments, with approximately 45 minutes available for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in an exceptionally beautiful marine setting. The islands offer a sense of seclusion that contrasts wonderfully with the more animated atmosphere of the coastal towns later in the itinerary. After this refreshing stop, the cruise continues toward Amalfi, arriving at around 11:00 AM. Widely regarded as one of the defining destinations of the coastline, Amalfi welcomes guests with a dramatic backdrop of mountains and sea, narrow lanes filled with history, and a vibrant waterfront atmosphere. Spending around 1.5 to 2 hours here gives time to visit the Amalfi Cathedral, browse local boutiques, enjoy a coffee in a piazza, or simply absorb the character of a town that has long been synonymous with coastal Italian charm.
At around 1:00 PM, the route continues to Positano, another essential highlight of the day and one of the Mediterranean’s most photographed destinations. On arrival, the village immediately captivates with its cascade of pastel and terracotta tones descending toward the sea. Guests typically have around 2 to 3 hours here, which creates enough time for a leisurely lunch at a seaside restaurant, a walk through elegant narrow streets lined with boutiques, or a more relaxed afternoon spent near the beach and waterfront. This stop offers a different mood from Amalfi - slightly more fashionable, more theatrical in its visual impact, and ideal for guests who want a mix of sightseeing, dining, and a classic Amalfi Coast lifestyle experience. Optional swimming stops can also be arranged along the coastline depending on timing and guest preference, adding another layer of leisure to the day.
As the afternoon unfolds, the yacht becomes a private retreat between destinations, allowing guests to unwind between onshore discoveries. The open deck areas are ideal for sunbathing and conversation, while shaded seating offers a comfortable place to enjoy drinks, coastal views, and the changing atmosphere of the day. Around 5:00 PM, the return cruise to Sorrento begins. This final leg is especially enjoyable, as the coastline takes on a softer light and the full beauty of the route can be appreciated from the water. Rather than a rushed conclusion, it feels like a gradual and scenic wind-down to a day that has combined culture, natural beauty, and refined private cruising in a balanced and memorable way.
About Our Yacht
The yacht assigned to this charter is an elegant Italian motor yacht of approximately 11 meters, offering a sporty profile, modern styling, and exactly the kind of versatile layout that works beautifully for a premium day charter. Built for comfortable cruising as well as social enjoyment, it provides stability underway, sleek aesthetics, and sufficient deck space for guests to spread out and enjoy the sea in different ways. Some may prefer to relax in the sun with uninterrupted views, while others may gather in conversation over refreshments in the shaded seating area. The result is a day onboard that feels spacious and comfortable without losing the intimacy that makes private charters so appealing.
The interior is equally practical for a full day on the water. Two cabins - one forward master and one aft guest cabin - together with a convertible dinette create a yacht environment that feels thoughtfully arranged and more substantial than a simple open day boat. The bathroom includes a separate shower and electric toilet, which is especially useful during a full itinerary with swimming, sightseeing, and time ashore. A fully equipped galley with stove, sink, and refrigerator supports onboard refreshments and simple meal service, while the yacht’s speed capability of up to 35 knots helps ensure efficient movement between destinations when needed. Altogether, it is a vessel that supports both the elegance and the practicality required for a long and enjoyable coastal charter.
A Stylish Way to Discover the Amalfi Coast
What makes this charter especially compelling is the way it combines three distinct experiences in one seamless day: the natural calm of Li Galli, the historic character of Amalfi, and the iconic beauty and lifestyle atmosphere of Positano. Guests are not confined to a rigid group schedule, nor limited to seeing the coast only from land. Instead, they are free to enjoy Southern Italy from its most evocative perspective - the sea - while retaining the flexibility to swim, explore, dine, and cruise according to personal preference. For visitors who want a private Amalfi Coast day with comfort, scenery, cultural highlights, and a genuine sense of occasion, this charter from Sorrento delivers a deeply rewarding and polished Mediterranean experience.
