Sunset Cruise Amalfi Coast

An Amalfi Coast sunset cruise is a short evening boat from Amalfi or Positano, and I found three in my list of 13 trips. They cost $77, $89 and $101 per person, last 1.5 to 2.5 hours and include drinks on board. Prices are in US dollars, checked in October 2026, and the booking links are affiliate links, as I explain on my about page. All three also appear in my full comparison of boat tours on the Amalfi Coast.

My pick for an Amalfi Coast sunset cruise is the Sea Horse sunset cruise ($101, 4.8 from 562 reviews), because you can start from Amalfi or Positano. If you want the better price and a fixed pier in Amalfi, I’d take the Coast and Cuisine sunset tour ($89). The Positano Sea Tours boat ($77) is the cheapest, and the shortest.

Sunset Boat Tour Amalfi Coast

Every sunset cruise in Amalfi Coast waters follows the same coast in my three listings: west from the starting town towards Praiano and the Fiordo di Furore, then back as the light changes. The Coast and Cuisine tour names the route from Amalfi, with stops listed as Conca dei Marini, Furore and Praiano, and it says the sun sets behind the hills of Positano. Its highlights mention the Furore Fjord and the Arc of Lovers, music and drinks, and the listing is frank about what it is for: it says the experience is designed for the sunset hours, and that if you want swimming and snorkeling you should look at the operator’s other tours.

The Sea Horse Amalfi Coast sunset cruise is similar in the equipment, a gozzo of 10 to 12 metres with toilets, a shower, music and a tent for shade. Its itinerary lists short stops of 10 to 20 minutes, a break with an aperitif and the sunset itself, with a skipper and a hostess on board. The platform summary says travellers praise the knowledgeable guides, the relaxed atmosphere and the views, and one point is that more time at the swim stop would help.

The table sets the three evening boats side by side.

Amalfi Coast Sunset Boat Tour

The Positano Sea Tours boat is the smallest commitment of the three Amalfi Coast sunset cruises. The listing describes a modern gozzo of about 10 metres with a canopy and a separate toilet, a professional skipper, and a steward who waits at the meeting point in front of Cala Marinai Brasserie. The route runs from Positano to Praiano and the Fiordo di Furore, and the itinerary gives about 50 minutes on the open coast with an aperitif. The platform says the price includes all taxes and fees, and the inclusions add a fuel surcharge.

Drinks on this sunset cruise in Amalfi Coast waters are limoncello, prosecco and beer, with bottled water and soft drinks, and dry snacks such as chips, peanuts and olives. The listing says 1.5 hours in the facts and 2 hours in the description, so I’d check the end time on your date before booking dinner. It has 50 reviews, 4.7 on average, and the two recent ones on 2 and 16 October both praise the evening.

Sunset Times by Month

The sunset sets the whole schedule of a sunset cruise in Amalfi Coast waters, and it moves a lot between summer and winter. The times below are calculated for Amalfi and Italian local time, for the 15th of each month in 2026.

Month	Sunset	Month	Sunset
January	4:57 PM	July	8:32 PM
February	5:34 PM	August	8:01 PM
March	6:07 PM	September	7:12 PM
April	7:39 PM	October	6:23 PM
May	8:09 PM	November	4:45 PM
June	8:33 PM	December	4:35 PM

Clocks in Italy go back one hour on 25 October, so the sunset jumps earlier by an hour that week. By December the sun is down before 4:40 PM, and a 2-hour cruise would have to leave in the middle of the afternoon. None of the three listings states a departure time, and the Sea Horse description says only that it departs in the late afternoon. I would check the time on the booking page for your date, and I’d choose the earliest departure if you want the light, not just the dusk.

What to Bring

The listings are short on packing advice, which fits a short trip. The Coast and Cuisine sunset tour asks for ID or a passport, sunglasses, a hat, swimwear, a towel and sunscreen, and bans pets, oversize luggage, baby strollers and large bags. The Sea Horse cruise lists the same items without the passport and adds a camera and biodegradable sunscreen. After sunset the air on the water cools, so I’d add a light layer for an Amalfi Coast sunset cruise in autumn, even though no listing says so. The Positano boat bans pets and food brought on board.

When the Boats Run

No listing gives a season or a closing date. Reviews of the Sea Horse sunset cruise are dated up to 14 October, the Coast and Cuisine sunset tour up to 4 October and the Positano Sea Tours boat up to 16 October, so the boats are still running as I write. Many boats on this coast stop in late October or November, so I’d confirm your date before planning an Amalfi Coast sunset cruise, and I would not book the last evening of a trip without a spare day. Weather matters too: the Positano boat has no stated weather policy in the text I have, so ask what happens if the sea is rough.

Which Sunset Cruise Amalfi Coast Boat for Which Evening

The three boats suit three evenings. The Positano Sea Tours boat suits a couple who are already in Positano and want an hour and a half on the water before dinner, because the meeting point is on Via Regina Giovanna in the town itself and the whole trip is short. The Coast and Cuisine boat suits anyone staying in Amalfi: the Darsena Pier is the yellow lighthouse in the town centre, a few minutes from the Flavio Gioia statue, and the trip lasts 2 hours. The Sea Horse boat suits a mixed group, because you choose Amalfi or Positano as the start, and its listing includes a skipper and a hostess.

None of the three is a private sunset. If you want one boat for your group, the private trips on my private boat tour page cost $763 to $842 per boat, and they are longer. For couples, the shared boats are the cheaper option, and their listing text calls the evening romantic or relaxed, while one says outright that it is for sunset hours with drinks and music.

Dinner and Other Options

A dinner cruise is not in my list of Amalfi Coast sunset cruises. The closest things are the sunset boats with snacks and prosecco, and the private trips, such as Amalfi Cruises at $802, which stop for lunch at a local restaurant. If you want a longer evening, the Dufour sailboat on my sailing page is $72 and returns under sail at sunset, though it has only 2 reviews. For a swim in the day, see Amalfi Coast snorkeling.

How I’d Choose

• Best all round: the Sea Horse cruise, $101, from Amalfi or Positano.
• Best for the price and a clear pier: the Coast and Cuisine tour, $89.
• Shortest and cheapest: the Positano Sea Tours boat, $77, 1.5 hours.
• A private evening: see my private boat tour page.
• Driving yourself: see the boat rental page.

Whichever sunset cruise Amalfi Coast operator you pick, book a free-cancellation option, arrive at the pier early, and keep dinner for after the return. The full list is on my boat tours page, and my home page lists other cities.
