My wife and I went on a boat cruise with our captain, Fabio, and it was a great way to spend the day. There were about 12 of us from around the world and we all fit comfortably on the boat. Fabio took us around the coastline and pointed out interesting spots, fancy resorts, and famous homes on the cliffs etc. It was nice to get a little more information and context on the area. We had the opportunity to visit the Emerald Caves (5 Euro/person to a 3rd-party who operates the caves, my wife and I declined), swimming off the boat (almost everyone on board swam), and then when we got to Amalfi we could decide to stay there for 3 hours or saty for 1 hr before going with Fabio to a different restaurant with water-only access (we chose to stay in Amalfi). My thoughts on the day:
First, seeing the mountains and the towns from the water is a unique and beautiful way to appreciate them. Second, swimming near some caves and beaches was predictably fun. Third, Amalfi is a neat little town worth a visit and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Fourth, there were free snacks and beer on the boat! It was just a great day.
