The right boat changes everything. On the Amalfi Coast, where the sea is the destination and the journey is the experience, the boat you choose shapes every moment of your day. Positano Boats operates one of the most diverse fleets on the coast — each boat a different character, a different relationship with the water.
The new Italyure series — the walk-around boats by Positano Boats for the Amalfi Coast — represents the flagship of modern boating along this coastline. Spacious, stable, and designed for life on deck, they feature generous sunbathing areas at both the bow and stern, a helm station with a canopy, and side walkways that allow every guest to easily reach the water. The layout is social — everyone is part of the experience; no one is hidden below deck or seated in an uncomfortable corner.
At sea, the Italyure is smooth and reassuring. The hull handles the crossing to Capri with complete ease, and its size ensures that a group of 12 people can spend an entire day on board without ever feeling crowded. It’s the perfect boat for families celebrating an important milestone, for corporate groups seeking something truly special, and for anyone who wants maximum comfort without giving up the freedom of a private charter.

The Itama is an historic and elegant boat. A name synonymous with Italian nautical design since the 1970s, the Itama is built for speed and style — a sleek fibreglass hull with powerful engines. On board, the emphasis is on sensation: the acceleration at the start from Positano, the wind at cruising speed, the scenic approach to the Faraglioni of Capri from the water.
The Itama suits who want the exhilaration of a fast boat without giving up the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. A half-day charter with an Itama can cover more locations rethan than a full day on a slower boat — useful if you want to reach Capri in style, circle the island, and be back in Positano for a late lunch.

And then there is the gozzo. If the Italyure is comfort and the Itama is speed, the classic gozzo sorrentino is soul. These traditional wooden boats — built on the Sorrento peninsula according to techniques passed down through generations of master boatbuilders — have worked these waters for centuries. Their low, rounded hulls sit close to the sea, their inboard engines produce a distinctive rumble that is as much a part of the Amalfi Coast soundscape as the church bells of Positano, and their open decks create an intimacy with the water that no modern fibreglass hull can replicate.
Madame is perhaps the most celebrated gozzo in the Positano Boats fleet — a beautifully maintained classic that has become, over years of service, something close to a local institution.
A day on a classic gozzo is a slower, more contemplative experience. The pace is different. The sound of the engine, the smell of the wood, the way the hull moves through the water — these are sensory pleasures that guests remember long after the specific details of the itinerary have faded.

Private boat charters on the Amalfi Coast range from modern walk-around cruisers and sleek speedboats to classic wooden gozzo. Positano Boats offers Italyure walk-around boats for spacious comfort, Itama motorboats for speed and sportiness, and traditional Sorrento boats such as the Gozzo Madame 34 FT for an authentic, timeless experience.
The Italyure is a modern Italian-built walk-around motorboat with wide side decks, a spacious sunbathing area, and a shaded helm station. Its design makes it ideal for large groups and full-day excursions on the Amalfi Coast, combining stability, comfort, and a contemporary aesthetic that suits the Mediterranean setting perfectly.
An Itama is a fast, sporty Italian motorboat known for its sleek fibreglass hull, powerful engines, and dynamic lines. A classic gozzo sorrentino, by contrast, is a traditional wooden boat from the Sorrento peninsula — slower, lower to the water, and built according to centuries-old techniques. The Gozzo offers a more intimate, authentic connection with the sea; the Itama offers speed and style.
A gozzo sorrentino is a traditional wooden boat originating from the Sorrento peninsula, used by fishermen on the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi Coast for centuries. Characterised by a low, open hull, rounded bow, and inboard engine, it is considered one of the most elegant and iconic boat designs of the Italian Mediterranean. Today, classic gozzo like Madame 34 FT are prized for private tours because of their beauty, stability, and deep connection to local maritime tradition.
Private charter boats on the Amalfi Coast and Capri typically accommodate between 8 and 12 passengers, depending on the boat. Larger walk-around boats such as the Italyure can comfortably host groups of up to 10–12.
