Creator's Key Takeaways

We really wanted to take a day to visit Positano because it had been a dream for so long, but we were unsure about driving there with the narrow roads and how hard it could be to find parking.

The ferry was way less stressful than driving. No narrow mountain roads or the struggle to find parking in Positano.

The water was bright blue, the cliffs were dramatic, and you see angles of the Amalfi Coast that you would never see from the road.

It was such an easy and beautiful day trip and we were so happy we chose the ferry instead of driving.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book ferry tickets ahead of time on the Travel Mar website.
Pick the 9:00 a.m. ferry to make the most of your day in Positano.
Consider switching between sitting inside and outside on the ferry depending on weather.
