SEA HORSE SRL
Amalfi or Positano: Sunset Cruise with Prosecco.
4.8 (562) · from $101
The Sea Horse sunset sail is a late-afternoon coastal cruise run by SEA HORSE SRL that heads along the cliffs of Conca dei Marini, the Furore Fjord and Praiano and finishes with a prosecco toast in front of Positano. You choose whether to board in Amalfi or in Positano, and the choice shapes the whole evening.
The rare attribute that changes the decision is the word "sail" in the listing's title. The description never mentions sails or a sailing yacht; it talks about a skipper, a hostess and a traditional wooden gozzo.
Treat it as a motor-boat sunset cruise and confirm with Sea Horse if sailing matters to you. For a real sailing day, the sailing trips page is the better start, and the Amalfi Coast boat tours hub lists everything else. From here you can also return to the home page.

What is the Sea Horse sunset sail from Amalfi or Positano?
It is a small-group evening cruise on a wooden gozzo with a skipper and hostess, built around the light on the coast between Amalfi and Positano.
The listing says the crew pushes off in the late afternoon and keeps the sea calm enough for guests who are not used to boats. The stops, in the order the description gives them, are below.
- Conca dei Marini - a village of white houses above the water. Conca dei Marini on Google Maps.
- Lovers' Arch - a natural rock arch that is the coast's best-known photo stop. Lovers' Arch on Google Maps.
- Furore Fjord - a narrow inlet between steep cliffs, seen mostly from the water. Furore Fjord on Google Maps.
- Praiano - the swim stop, with masks and snorkels on board. Praiano on Google Maps.
- Positano - the prosecco toast with the village in the late light. Positano on Google Maps.
The itinerary gives 10 minutes for the safety briefing, then 15, 10 and 20 minutes of cruising and a 45-minute main stop for the swim, aperitif and sunset. That is 100 minutes before the return, which fits the 2 to 2.5 hour range.
Where does the Sea Horse sunset sail leave from?
You pick Amalfi or Positano when you book, and the exact meeting point follows from that choice.
In Positano, Sea Horse's day tour uses the main pier in front of the ferry ticket offices, with the crew waiting 20 minutes ahead under a blue umbrella; the sunset listing does not repeat that, so confirm it for this slot.
In Amalfi, Sea Horse's office appears on Google Maps near the harbour, and the small-boat Darsena pier is 577 m, about 8 minutes on foot from the ferry port by OSRM foot routing.
The sunset listing also lists "transportation to the meeting point" among the inclusions, but it gives no pickup area or times. I treat that as unclear and would ask Sea Horse by message before relying on it.
How long is the cruise, and when does it sail?
The cruise lasts 2 to 2.5 hours, and the listing shows no fixed times; the starting slots appear after you choose a date.
Because the trip is built around golden hour, the operator has to move the start with the season. Sunset slides from 8:33 pm in July to 4:36 pm in December.
| Month | Sunset | Month | Sunset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 17:00 | Jul | 20:33 |
| Feb | 17:37 | Aug | 20:01 |
| Mar | 18:09 | Sep | 19:12 |
| Apr | 19:41 | Oct | 18:23 |
| May | 20:12 | Nov | 16:45 |
| Jun | 20:35 | Dec | 16:36 |
The listing states no season. Its latest verified bookings are from 14 October 2026, so the sunset slot was running this week. For November to March, ask Sea Horse whether it sails at all, since a 4:45 pm sunset leaves a very short window.
What is included in the Sea Horse sunset sail?
You get a skipper, a hostess, prosecco, limoncello, drinks, snorkeling gear, life jackets, a toilet, a shower, music and a shaded tent; there is no food.
| Item | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Skipper and hostess | Included | Both named in the includes field |
| Prosecco and limoncello | Included | The toast is the closing stop |
| Other drinks | Included | The listing says only "drinks"; ask what is on offer |
| Snorkeling mask and snorkel | Included | Present on a sunset trip; the description gives swimming one stop |
| Life jackets and flotation devices | Included | Relevant if children join |
| Toilet and shower | Included | On board |
| Food | Not listed | No snacks are mentioned; eat before you go |
| Transportation to the meeting point | Unclear | No details are given |
| Wheelchair access | Not suitable | The listing excludes wheelchair users |
One trap in the data: the not-included field holds only the wheelchair line, while the not-allowed list bans pets, oversize luggage and large bags. I read the first as a suitability note, not a missing inclusion.
How does it compare with other Amalfi Coast sunset cruises?
It is the most expensive of the three shared sunset options on this coast, and the only one that gives you a choice of two harbours.
| Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Starts from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This Sea Horse cruise | $101 | 2 to 2.5 hours | 4.8 (562) | Amalfi or Positano |
| Amalfi Coast Cuisine sunset boat tour | $89 | 2 hours | 4.8 (526) | Amalfi |
| Shared sunset boat tour from Positano | $77 | 1.5 hours | 4.7 (50) | Positano |
The Amalfi Coast Cuisine sunset boat is $12 cheaper, with a fixed pier and fruit or snacks in the price. The shared Positano sunset boat costs $24 less for 30 to 60 fewer minutes. All sunset options are collected on the sunset cruise page.
Is the Sea Horse sunset sail worth it against the other boats?
It is worth it if you want the longest of the shared sunset slots and the option to start from Positano, but you pay about $45 an hour.
| Tour | Price | Hours | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| This Sea Horse cruise | $101 | 2.25 | $44.9 |
| Amalfi Coast Cuisine sunset | $89 | 2 | $44.5 |
| Shared Positano sunset boat | $77 | 1.5 | $51.3 |
| Sea Horse day tour from Positano | $101 | 5 | $20.2 |
| Median of 8 shared tours | $21.5 |
The same operator's Positano caves and beaches day tour costs the same $101 for 4 to 6 hours, so the sunset slot costs roughly twice as much per hour. For a proposal, an anniversary or a photo-first evening, I'd book the sunset sail. For value, I'd book the day tour, and for fish I'd go with the snorkeling day instead.
11,231 ha of terraced coast make up the Costiera Amalfitana World Heritage property, inscribed in 1997.
The Sea Horse route sits inside that property for most of its length, so your photos are of a protected landscape, not just a backdrop.
When is the best time to go?
June and September deliver warm water and a sunset after 7 pm, while November to March means sunsets before 5:40 pm and up to 16 rain days a month.

Sea surface temperature in the Gulf of Salerno was 22.6 °C on 17 October with 0.14 m waves (Open-Meteo Marine API, fetched 2026-10-17), warm enough for the listed swim stop. The next public holidays are 1 November and 8 December (Nager.Date API).
What do passengers say?
Passengers score the guide 4.9 out of 5, transportation 4.8 and value for money 4.6, which is the weak spot.
- Crew: reviewers name individual crew members and call them knowledgeable and friendly.
- Occasion: honeymooners and couples fill the visible reviews.
- Complaint: some wanted more time at the swim stop, in GetYourGuide's summary of 164 recent verified reviews.
The reviews I can open are all five stars, sorted by Recommended, so they lean positive. The swim-time complaint is the one pattern worth weighing.
Who should skip the Sea Horse sunset sail?
Skip it if you want a real sailboat, long swimming, food on board or wheelchair access.
- Sailing fans: pick a boat described as a sailing yacht, such as those on the sailing page.
- Swimmers: the day tours spend far more time in the water.
- Hungry guests: no food is listed, only drinks.
- Wheelchair users: the listing marks the tour as unsuitable.
- Winter travellers: check sea warnings with the Italian Coast Guard and ask Sea Horse about dates.
