This was a great sunset tour that provided some history and stunning views! Our guide was wonderful and funny and brought out some champagne, Limoncello, fruits and other drinks as well. It was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the views and we even stopped in the middle of the water to watch the sunset and allow folks to swim.

Itinerary
Once everybody has jumped on board and had a little briefing about how we're going to spend the sunset hours, we will be ready to set off to the west towards Praiano. The route will take us along Amalfi Coast’s finest beaches as well as into sea caves. Not too far from the starting point, right after leaving the center of Amalfi, we will get close to the Saint Andrew Grotto, a huge natural sea cave full of stalactites named after the patron saint of Amalfi (Andrea). Then, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, we will stop by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing. Up to not too long ago young couples used to get married on the top of it. A little later we will cruise in front of the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, passing near the villa of Sophia Loren and seeing the historic hotel “Il Saraceno” located on La Vite Beach.
Conca dei Marini used to be an ancient fishermen village. Here we will have a beautiful view of Furore and Praiano villages and the islands of Li Galli and Capri, together with the well-known Faraglioni Rocks. We will also get the chance to admire the Santa Rosa Monastery, a former convent now converted into a luxury hotel, once home of the Dominican nuns. It's right in the kitchens of this monastery that the delicious "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" was born, a shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta cheese-based cream and little dried fruit pieces, typical of the local culinary tradition (don't forget to taste it before leaving!).
Right after leaving Conca dei Marini village, we will reach then the famous Furore Fjord, the only natural fjord we have in Italy and location of the international diving competition "MarMeeting": every year in July, professional divers from around the world compete by jumping from the top of the bridge which is 28 meters high.
Finally we will go round the cape of Praiano, where we will stop for a break and to go swimming as the warm hues that light up the sky reflect off the shimmering waters. The return trip to Amalfi will give us a different but equally remarkable view of both sea and land.

Great boat ride. The captain was great. Great drinks and lots of fun. Had a great time. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience. The chance to swim in the Mediterranean at sunset is really special. Boat driver was friendly and knowledgeable
We were excited about sunset tour given the heat wave coming through this whole area. The directions for the meeting point were clear. I asked for a life jacket and was told “they are here in the boat” I shared that I could not swim but that did not matter. I was not given one nor was I told where they were. The boat ride was nice. We stopped at 2 places which the guide briefly talked about. Other wise there was no other narrative provided for the 2 hour ride. The melon was delicious and the prosecco was nice, but it was literally just one sip in every glass. The limoncello toward the end was an added touch. Although it is advertised as having a bathroom on board, when I asked about using it, I was told it was for an emergency. When we stopped at one of the sites, I was allowed to use it. You have to walk down a ladder to get to it and then closed in with a zippered tarp so no one sees you. Then I pounded on the tarp to let guide know I was done. I have been on many catamaran/boat cruises on my many travels and this was indeed awkward!
Sunset Cruise from Amalfi harbour
Wonderful experience! Guides were very nice and knowledge. Drinks were great (and limencello near the end)! Small group, relaxed atomsphere, beautiful sunset. Perfecto!
The cruise goes from Amalfi to Praiano and returns. At various points it stops to point out natural and celebrity attractions (such as Sophia Loren's vacation home). The longest stop is around Praiano, where, theoretically, there is an opportunity to jump in the water (and possibly snorkel--but I didn't see any snorkeling gear on the boat)--only one person in my group of ten did so. Worth pointing out that a stop in Positano is not in the itinerary. In fact, it is only seen from a distance, and shrouded in darkness due to the sun being completely behind it. So the bright view of Positano that is presented in the marketing of this cruise is false. By contrast, Praiano is seen very well--one face of it is well-illuminated by the setting sun. Fruits, prosecco, and sodas of various kinds are offered. The captain of the boat, in accented English, provided humorous commentary.
Fabulous sunset boat trip along the coast from Amalfi. Knowledgeable and friendly captain and guide. Swim stop topped off with lovely Prosecco and limoncello. Perfect end of day. Highlight of our Amalfi stay. Definitely recommended
Amazing boat trip, brilliant views and the guides were very interactive, knowledgeable and fun! The sunset scenes were beautiful and getting in the sea was a blast l! Highly recommend!
This was such a great trip, it was a little rough but the Captain was very good at keeping us as stable as possible whilst refreshing dinks, being tour guide and DJ at the same time, best time of day if full sun is not your thing and 2 hours was perfect. Came back fully satisfied and very happy.
We had an amazing time, the meeting location was central and easy to find, Nick the driver/guide was friendly and knowledgeable, boat was clean, food/wine was lovely and the music was good. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
We had a great time, the captain was knowledgeable and entertaining and the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend
It was amazing! The perfect amount of time, not too long and not too short. I’d definitely do it again!
Had a great! Our captain was funny and knowledgeable. Provided us with three different drinks on the tour. Took us to some nice sights and viewed the coast with a sunset. Jumped into the ocean for a swim which was fun! Would do it again!
Easy going and relax cruise. Small group trip so you get to enjoy the conversation with strangers. The champagne was good, the fruit was new to me but it was delicious. Over all the views were amazing and the atmosphere very romantic.
What a spectacular evening! Our captain was extremely knowledgeable regarding the coast and the history of Amalfi. A wonderful evening spent with wonderful people! Thank you!!
We had a great experience on this tour! Paolo was fantastic! He was friendly and provided good information along the way. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day so we didn't have a good sunset. But, that didn't deter us from having a wonderful experience! We DID get to see some baby dolphins playing which was exciting! We definitely recommend this tour!
Absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast! What a gorgeous evening with lovely views. The boat was nice and they offered prosecco, limoncello, non-alcoholic drinks, and melon. My husband and I loved every second of it!
Amazing! The sunset tour was so much fun! Our captain was so knowledgeable! The boat was comfortable.
The experience was amazing! Our skipper was really nice and made the experience enjoyable, the sunset was breathtaking and we even saw dolphins in the water. I highly recommend it.
It was amazing! The view, the crew members, the food and lemoncelo. I absolutely recommend to you!🩷 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
The cruise was great! AT first I was a little surprised because the seats were long style as if you were laying down but it was more comfortable and informal than a catamaran style. The playlist was amazing and went perfectly with the amazing views. We had the best melon Ive ever had and even saw a dolphin! The company on the boat was great and we met new friends.
Excellent experience. Boat was very clean and nice. Our guide was very knowledgeable, fun and friendly. An extra plus was lemoncello and prosecco. What a great way to see the coast. We will be doing their 4 our trip the next time. Highly recommended. We met 3 other couples from Australia, Malta and Germany which was fun.
Better than we imagined it would be! Besides the drinks and snacks, our captain, Simone, was the icing on the cake! His explanations of what we were looking at, his answering questions, his offering to take our picture at various points, his friendliness and sense of humor made 2 hours feel like 15 minutes. We highly recommend you take this sunset cruise with Simone! We’ll be back!! Grazie mille, Simone!
It was beautiful!! Our captain was fun and we had a smooth ride with drinks and getting to enjoy the beauty of looking at the Amalfi coast! Definitely recommend!!!
Amazing view going around part of the Amalficoast. The guide provided us with some interesting stories. Nice to be able to swim in the sea
Captain Nick did an exceptional job. We loved his enthusiasm and charm. This excursion is well organized from start to finish and our sunset cruise was the highlight of our trip. We really enjoyed the specular views from the sea and having the opportunity to take a swim was a bonus. We will highly recommend to our family and friends.
Very fun sunset tour. I'd recommend booking before you get there. There are three boats and we noticed ours was all the other couples who were booked for the trip. Our Captain was fun and entertaining, sharing history of the landmarks we passed, drinks, and blankets because it was a little windy. 10/10 recommend if you're staying in Amalfi and want a night event.
Amazing experience. Christian, our Captain was so awesome! So much fun! Loved the picture taking spots and swimming in the sea!
The sunset cruise was spectacular, our guide was so attentive and gracious. He brought out drinks and limoncello. We stopped at one point and he took pictures of each group with the sunset. It is one of the best photos by far. The boat is smaller and more comfortable than the larger boats. He played music, definitely created the Italian vibe without feeling like you were on a tour. I highly recommend.
Luigi was informative and a bit of fun. It was a lovely trip even though the weather was a little chilly Could have had a bit more Prosecco and some snacks would have been nice.
The boat was nice and it is lovely looking at the coastline. It was cloudy so the sunset was not too spectacular but we had calm water. Was disappointed that drinks were not offered after one bottle of Prosecco between 8 people. we had to ask constantly for another drink. There was no limoncello and no salty snacks, just a slice of melon. We stopped briefly for a swim. Only went as far as Fiordo di Furore. Did I enjoy the time on the boat? yes… was it value for money? no… would I go again? probably not.
We had an amazing time on this sunset cruise! Our captain was fun and shared lots of information about the area. The drinks and snacks were delicious and added to the festive mood. The sunset over the water was lovely. This is a do-not-miss opportunity!
We had a great time! It was cloudy so we didn’t get much of the sunset but the views from the boat looking into the coast were spectacular! Our captain was very friendly and great at the wheel! We had some champagne, stopped to get pictures and enjoyed the views!
Great boat ride with beautiful views, drinks, and the perfect amount of time. Yes I would recommend! I would however be cautious and not recommend it for anyone who is prone to getting sea sick. VERY rocky water (not sure if it was the time of the year October, due to storms, or if that’s how it always is). My husband has previously been on other boats in Aruba and did fine. The host Paolo was great and so very accommodating. We were initially not planning to get in the water but since my husband was so seasick he jumped in the water to get some relief and Paolo graciously provided us with extra towels to dry him up (as we were not prepared). Thank you!
My husband and I had a great time on the sunset boat tour. Paolo (I apologize if I spelt the name wrong) was funny and provided great conversations. The boat was comfortable and included some fruit and drinks. The sunset is behind the mountains so the sunset view isn’t the best, however I knew that before booking the tour and was okay with it. If you get seasick, I would take some medication beforehand, as a couple people on our boat felt sick.
We had an amazing time on the cruise! Worth every cent and would recommend to anyone looking for a great way to view the coast from the water. Got to enjoy some Prosecco and snacks on the water too!
An unforgettable moment! Breathtaking views of the Amalfi coast. A relaxed, chic and so romantic atmosphere on a cosy boat with snacks, Limoncello and good music which added to the magic ! Thanks a million to our Captain who commented on the main sites with passion and humor too and was so caring and nice with us. We could have a jump from the boat to have a swim. We even saw dolphins !! We'll never forget! Thank you to Antonio and his team.
We loved our sunset boat cruise! We were staying in Ravello and took the SITA bus down to Amalfi. This cruise made our trip feel truly relaxing. We enjoyed the prosecco and limoncello treats while watching the sunset. We had a fun group and great boat captain who made the experience even better. Highly recommend!!
Very nice experience nice people the boat was nice and comfortable all perfect. At the first opportunity we will come again
We really enjoyed this tour since it showed us around the towns and allowed us to see a different view of them. The staff was all very friendly. We had some fruits, champagne and limoncello on board. I also really appreciated that the boat had a non salt water shower so we could take all the salt water off before getting back to the coast.
A beautiful view, good music, good drinks and saw some cool spots only reachable by boat. It was amazing and our boat host Antonio was so nice:)
We loved the sunset cruise-Coastline was beautiful at sunset. Our children enjoyed the cool ride and swimming in the sea!
My daughter and I had a fun time. The nice gentleman tour guide was super nice, helpful and informative. ( sorry, we forgot his name) He also offered us drinks and snacks. The views and sunset were beautiful!
Beautiful views and it can turn into a party! Very much worth it and the captain was a great time as well.
Our captain Fulvio was super friendly and fun during the tour. Although we didn't get to enjoy a stunning sunset it was an Amazing experience, don't think twice about booking it ! Stunning views from the boat of the coast line and villages. Swimming in the clear blue water refreshing and just beautiful. Lying back drinking prosecco and Limoncello, and enjoying was an amazing experience, don't think twice about booking it!
We had an amazing Sunset boat trip with Giorgia and Andrea as our Host and Captain! Great crack, plenty of booze music and dancing! Highly recommend, great way to spend an evening, and was perfect on our anniversary.
Amazing boat tour! Georgia and Andrea were the best tour guides and were super fun to have on board. We sang, danced, drank their complimentary drinks, and got to see amazing landmarks and the sunset along the way. Thanks Andrea and Georgia :)
Absolutely loved this sunset cruise! The views were amazing and our boat driver was entertaining and very welcoming! Recommend :)
Really nice staff and comfortable boat! Would have appreciated getting communication of possibility to cancel given the weather was pretty bad with no sunset.
