Cliffside Reverie — Navigating the Amalfi Coast by Private Riva Yacht
“From Positano’s pastel cliff cascades to hidden Capri sea grottoes: the quintessential Mediterranean voyage.”
Matteo Bellini
Mediterranean Fleet Director • Based in Capri & Naples
The divine beauty of the Amalfi Coast cannot truly be felt from the congested cliffside roadways—it belongs entirely to the sea. The Tyrrhenian waters, impossibly cobalt and tranquil, lap against dramatic volcanic palisades where lemon orchards cascade down steep terraces.
Our guests depart from the private marina at Amalfi aboard a bespoke Riva 38 Rivamare, gliding past ancient Saracen watchtowers toward the Faraglioni rock formations of Capri. With a private skipper and local maritime historian at the helm, you slip into hidden turquoise sea caves before the tourist catamarans appear on the horizon.
Lunch is served at a discreet family-owned trattoria nestled in a secluded pebble cove near Nerano, where spaghetti alla nerano and freshly harvested sea urchins are served paired with crisp Greco di Tufo wines. The day concludes with an exclusive suite check-in at a cliffside villa in Ravello, 1,000 feet above the shimmering sea.
“To view Positano from the varnished teak deck of a Riva yacht as sunset paints the cliffs in shades of amber and apricot is sheer Mediterranean poetry.”
