In Italy you can skipper a boat of up to 40 hp without a boating licence. With a 6-metre RIB or gozzo you explore the Amalfi Coast freely: stop wherever you like, lunch at a beach restaurant and swim in near-empty coves.
What you do
- Briefing on handling, navigation rules and recommended areas.
- Free route from Amalfi towards the Furore fjord, the Emerald Grotto and Praiano.
- Swim and snorkel stops in coves such as Santa Croce or La Praia.
- Lunch at a restaurant with a mooring or a picnic on board.
Who it is for
Families, couples and friends of up to 6 people with a driver aged 18 or over. Ideal if you have done the group tour and want to go at your own pace.
What to bring
- The driver’s ID.
- Swimwear, towel, sunscreen and a cap.
- Water and food, or cash for a restaurant.
Best time
May to October. In July and August it pays to start early, before boat traffic builds up.
Good to know
Fuel is not included and is paid on return. You must keep the minimum distance from the shore and from buoyed swimming areas. Capri is beyond the recommended range for licence-free boats.
