Boat hire with a captain, not a bareboat rental
Most 'boat hire' on the Amalfi Coast falls into two camps: a small bareboat you skipper yourself, or a shared excursion packed with strangers. Strider Amalfi is neither. It's a fully crewed private charter — the SACS RIB is yours for the whole day, with a professional captain who knows every cove, grotto and harbour on the coast.
That means no licence to organise, no responsibility for the boat, and no fixed timetable. You set the pace, the swim spots and the playlist; your captain takes care of everything else. If you'd like the classic itinerary spelled out, our private Amalfi Coast boat tour shows how a full day on the water typically unfolds.
The boat: a SACS RIB built for this coastline
Strider Amalfi runs a single SACS RIB, one of the most respected rigid-inflatable builders in the Mediterranean. Twin Mercury V10 400hp engines move you between Positano, Amalfi and Capri quickly and smoothly, so you spend the day swimming and exploring rather than sitting in transit.
On board you'll find a teak-and-leather deck, generous sun pads, shade, a swim ladder and a fresh-water shower, with comfortable space for up to eight guests. It's a proper premium platform: stable at anchor, exhilarating under way, and finished to a standard that makes the whole day feel effortless.
Where you can go, and what it costs
From a single base on the Amalfi Coast and around Salerno we cover the whole Campania coastline. A classic day takes in Positano from the water, the Fjord of Furore, the Emerald Grotto and quiet swimming coves off Amalfi and Atrani; with an early start you can push toward Capri or down to the Cilento.
A full-day private charter starts from €1,500 (fuel excluded). Weekend and holiday dates carry a +€250 surcharge, August +€500. Prefer to plan ahead? Pair your hire with a Positano boat tour or wind the day down with an Amalfi Coast sunset cruise. Tell us your dates and group size on WhatsApp and we'll send a clear, all-in quote.

Frequently asked
Is this bareboat hire or a charter with a captain?
It's always a crewed private charter. A professional captain is included on every outing, so you never need a nautical licence and you're never responsible for the boat. This is not a bareboat rental — your skipper handles navigation, anchoring and safety, knows every cove and grotto on the coast, and tailors the day to your group.
How much does Amalfi Coast boat hire cost?
A single full-day private charter starts from €1,500, with fuel charged separately. We also offer a 7-outing package at €7,499 and larger packages from €14,998. Weekend and holiday dates carry a +€250 surcharge and August +€500. Message us with your dates and we'll send an exact quote.
Do I need a boat licence to hire the boat?
No. Because the captain is always included, you don't need any nautical licence or experience. You and your guests simply relax and enjoy the day while the skipper takes care of everything on the water.
How many guests can come on board?
The SACS RIB comfortably hosts up to eight guests for a day charter, plus the captain. It's ideal for couples, families and small groups of friends. For larger parties, message us and we'll suggest the best way to organise your day.
Where does the boat depart from?
We're based on the Amalfi Coast and around Salerno, and operate across the whole Campania coastline. Typical departures are from Positano, Amalfi or a point convenient to where you're staying. Tell us your location and we'll confirm the easiest pick-up.
What's the difference between boat hire and a boat tour with you?
They're the same premium experience — a private day on our SACS RIB with a captain. 'Hire' simply emphasises that the boat is exclusively yours for the day, with the route and timings shaped entirely around you, rather than a fixed sightseeing schedule.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If conditions don't allow a comfortable, safe day at sea, your charter can be rescheduled, refunded or transferred to another date. We watch the forecast closely and stay in touch so plans are confirmed well before departure.
