If you spend a full day chartering along the Amalfi Coast, there's a very high chance your captain will stop at Li Galli.
Located between Positano and Capri, these private islands have become one of the most iconic swimming spots on the coast thanks to their clear water, dramatic scenery and perfect positioning along most Amalfi Coast charter routes.
Why Li Galli Is So Popular
Li Galli works perfectly as either:
- A first swim stop departing Positano
- A late afternoon stop returning from Capri
- A sunset anchorage before heading back to port
The water is usually calm, protected and incredibly clear during summer.
Swimming & Snorkelling
Most guests anchor here for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing onboard before continuing towards Capri or Nerano.
The area feels peaceful despite being one of the coast's most famous boating spots.
Best Time to Visit
Morning and sunset are usually the best times at Li Galli.
The water tends to be calmer, the lighting is incredible and there are generally fewer boats compared to peak afternoon periods.
Captain Tip
The best captains usually adjust the Li Galli stop depending on conditions rather than forcing a fixed itinerary.
On calm days, it's easily one of the best swimming spots on the Amalfi Coast.
