Sail the Amalfi Coast of Italy

Sail the Bay of Naples and Amalfi Coast – Italy’s most iconic Mediterranean escape!

Discover a coastline where dramatic cliffs plunge into deep blue sea, pastel towns cling to the hillsides, and every harbour feels like a postcard. From ancient Roman history to sun-drenched piazzas, this is Italy at its most unforgettable.

Spend your days sailing between breathtaking coastal towns, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and wandering cobbled streets filled with local life. Think fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and long, relaxed afternoons with a limoncello in hand overlooking terraced gardens and the sea below.

You’ll sail with a small group of like-minded travellers, guided by a professional skipper and our Mariner Boating Tour Leader. No sailing experience needed. Just arrive, join in, and enjoy the rhythm of life at sea with a balance of guided moments and free time to explore.
