Top Rome On the Water - page 2

Leave Rome behind and discover the Amalfi Coast from the sea aboard your own private boat—no crowds, no traffic, just sparkling water and pastel towns. You can start in two ways. Take the high-speed train from Roma Termini to Salerno (7:30 am) and meet your private driver on the platform for a quick ride to the marina; or choose a door-to-door journey by private car from your accommodation in Rome at 7:00 am (about 2.5–3 hours). Step aboard and cruise past the pastel villages of Cetara and Erchie, the sea caves of Maiori, charming Minori, Marmorata’s waterfall, Atrani, and Conca dei Marini. Dock at Amalfi and Positano for free time to explore at your own pace — wander narrow streets, browse artisan shops, or enjoy a seaside lunch. In the afternoon, cruise back to Salerno and return to Rome by your chosen option. We arrange skipper, timings and transfers—you simply relax, take photos and enjoy the day.
