Highlights
  • Exclusive Cruises - Exclusive Cruises will be your hosts for the day for a private 6-hour boat excursion exploring the Amalfi Coast and its beautiful sea grottoes and caves. This is a private boat tour that can be fully customized to your interests. Below is only a suggested itinerary with a selection of highlights from the day that you can experience. Note: Sights are marked “Pass By” simply because you can decide to spend as much or as little time as you would like. Exclusive Cruises will help you plan a relaxed tour custom fit to your travel desires. This is one of our favorite excursions because the grottoes of the Amalfi Coast are not mass publicized like the grottoes of Capri. They are “off the beaten path” and less crowded, making this a more authentic experience that one would not normally have the opportunity to do unless on a private boat excursion. Throughout the day you will have the opportunity to stop and swim, explore caves and grottoes, and experience the beauty of this unique coastline. Here are some highlights of the experience and sights you will enjoy:
  • Pandora’s Grotto: Admire this impressive cave just past the town of Maiori, which is big enough for small boats to enter.
  • Marmorata: A beautiful spot on the coast with an almost tropical feel. Swim below the cool water of a little waterfall cascading into the sea.
  • Sant’ Andrea Grotto: Just west of Amalfi is a cave that takes its name from Amalfi’s patron St. Andrew. Swim into the cave and walk around inside to explore more.
  • Lover’s Arch: As you approach Conca dei Marini, why not enjoy a swim under the arch in this very romantic spot?
  • Grotta dello Smeraldo: Called the Emerald Grotto for the way the light shimmers in deep shades of green. Climb aboard a small row boat for a short tour. (Note: There is a \

The best day ever!!! - This tour was the best day of our entire Italy trip. Lucia and Samir were gracious hosts and made the trip enjoyable for our large family with 4 adults and 6 children ranging from ages 8-13. The boat was a perfect size and Samir knew all of the places to go!

Amalfi Coast tour with Luigi - Luigi was our boat captain and since he had grown up in Maori, he knew all kinds of interesting details about the different places we passed in his boat. We stopped several times to swim in grottos, beaches, jump off a (short) cliff, and take tinder to shore to eat lunch a "locals only" type of spot that was fantastic. Luigi did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again if I get the chance.

Great Tour, Great Captain - Fransico was our captain and was very professional, informative, and friendly. We were provided snacks, refreshments, and Prosecco. The tour was amazing, the views and the chance to swim in the beautiful Amalfi waters and grotto were unforgettable. The owner of the company Valeria(I’m assuming she was the owner) contacted us before and so I the cruise to make sure everything was going well, which I appreciated. Definitely recommend this tour!

Great way to enjoy the Amalfi Coast - Luigi provided us with a wonderful day cruising along the coast. He was very accommodating to our requests throughout the tour allowing us to swim and stop on the beach when we wanted. He was very informative about the sights and we felt very safe with him! We were staying in Praiano and found the pick up location easily. All of the communication was easy as Valeria was very organized and prompt with responses. Would highly recommend this trip.
