The interior features a refined cabin with a separate head and shower, a gourmet galley, and a forward V-berth that converts into a dining area. On deck, the 370 Sundancer shines with a three-pane sliding glass door that seamlessly connects the cockpit to the salon, and a massive bow lounging area that is arguably the best seat in the house when approaching the colorful cliffs of Positano.
Why the Sundancer 370 is Perfect for Positano
The Amalfi Coast is famous for its dramatic rocky outcrops and deep blue waters, but it also features hidden coves like Fiordo di Furore and shallow beach clubs near Nerano. Renting a Sea Ray Sundancer 370 in Positano is particularly advantageous because of its shallow draft (just over a meter). This allows the skipper to navigate closer to the shoreline than larger motor yachts, giving you a front-row seat to the Grotto dello Smeraldo or the secluded beaches of Laurito.
The sea state in the Gulf of Salerno is generally calm during the summer, but the afternoon "Maestrale" breeze can create a slight chop. The Sundancer’s hull is designed for stability and "dry" riding, ensuring that your group remains comfortable even when crossing the open water toward the Faraglioni rocks of Capri. Furthermore, the expansive swim platform is equipped with an automated submersible step, making it effortless to dip into the Tyrrhenian Sea for a swim.

Curated Itineraries from Positano Marina
When you choose to rent a Sea Ray Sundancer 370 in Positano, your journey begins at the Marina Grande pier. While Positano does not have a traditional enclosed harbor, its tender service and buoy moorings are world-class.

- Morning: Depart Positano and cruise toward Praiano. Stop at the Li Galli islands—a private archipelago once owned by Rudolf Nureyev—for a morning swim in crystal-clear waters.
- Midday: Continue east to Amalfi. Dock briefly to visit the Duomo di Sant'Andrea or enjoy a lemon sorbet in the piazza.
- Afternoon: Visit the Fiordo di Furore for photos before heading to Conca dei Marini for a late lunch at a seaside trattoria accessible only by boat.

Logistics: Marinas, Mooring, and Berthing
Chartering a Sea Ray Sundancer 370 in Positano involves unique logistics. Positano is an open roadstead, meaning boats are typically moored on buoys or anchored in the designated zones off the main beach. A professional "lucia" (shuttle boat) service operates 24/7 to transport guests from the yacht to the shore. For overnight stays during a weekly charter, many guests prefer to berth in the nearby Port of Amalfi or Marina di Cassano in Sorrento, which offer full shore power, fresh water refills, and better protection from swells.
If you are planning an itinerary that includes several destinations, we recommend booking berths in advance, especially during the peak months of July and August when Mediterranean ports reach maximum capacity.
What is Included in Your Charter
To ensure a seamless luxury experience, most charters for the Sea Ray Sundancer 370 in Positano are "all-inclusive" for day trips, while weekly charters follow different financial structures. Typically, a day rental includes:
- Professional Skipper: An English-speaking captain with local knowledge.
- Taxes and VAT: All Italian maritime taxes are usually included in the base price.
- Welcome Amenities: Towels, snorkeling gear, and a selection of soft drinks and snacks.
For weekly charters, the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) applies. This is typically 30% of the charter fee and covers fuel, gourmet food, premium beverages, and mooring fees. Any unused portion of the APA is refunded at the end of the trip. End cleaning is often a separate one-time fee for multi-day rentals.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The boating season in Positano runs from May through October. June and September are widely considered the best months; the weather is warm (25-28°C), the sea is calm, and the crowds are more manageable than in the peak of summer. July and August offer the best "beach club" atmosphere but require early booking for both the boat and restaurant moorings. Sea conditions are generally safe, but your skipper will always monitor the "Libeccio" (southwest) wind, which can occasionally make the Positano anchorage untenable, necessitating a move to the sheltered side of the Sorrento peninsula.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting a Sea Ray Sundancer 370 in Positano?
If you are renting the boat with a provided skipper, no license is required from your side. If you wish to operate the boat yourself (bareboat), you will need a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent recognized skipper's license, though most 370 Sundancers in this region are only offered as crewed charters to ensure guest safety and vessel maintenance.
What is the maximum number of guests for chartering a Sea Ray Sundancer 370 in Positano?
For day charters, the Sea Ray Sundancer 370 is legally certified to carry up to 12 guests plus crew. However, for maximum comfort and space to lounge, we recommend groups of 8 to 10. For overnight charters, the boat comfortably sleeps 2 adults in the main cabin, with room for 2 additional guests on the convertible salon berths.
Does the rental price include fuel for the Amalfi Coast?
For standard 8-hour day rentals, fuel is often included if you follow a pre-set itinerary (e.g., Positano to Capri and back). However, for custom routes or high-speed cruising, fuel may be charged based on consumption. For weekly charters, fuel is always an additional cost handled through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).
"The Sea Ray Sundancer 370 is more than just a boat; it is a lifestyle statement on the Amalfi Coast. There is no better way to experience the vertical beauty of Positano than from the bow of this modern classic."
