After about 2 hours of enjoying the beautiful boat, sea and sunset, the skipper will cruise over to a secluded beach lined with authentic, family owned restaurants just around the corner on the Amalfi Coast to drop you off for dinner. This area has become an icon in the region because the food is absolutely not to be missed and many of these beautiful beaches are not easily accessible by car. The captain will take you to one of the restaurants where the boat will pull right up to shore and he will wait while you dine, then take you back to your embarkation point. Don't forget to lay on the sundeck and look up at the stars on the way back to port, as this is one of the best areas for stargazing.
