In the large inlet in front of Positano, near the Spiaggia Grande, there's a quay and a pier from which, during the tourist season, the hydrofoils for the Amalfi (Amalfi, Cetara, Maiori and Minori) and Sorrento coasts (Sorrento, Seiano and Castellamare di Stabia) depart.
Same goes for Salerno and Capri, easily reachable from April to the end of October. The connections with Ischia, instead, are guaranteed only during the summer months, while there are no direct connections with Procida.
For pleasure boating it's better to head towards the more equipped ports of Amalfi or Salerno.

Near the port of Positano there are bars, restaurants, boat rentals and night clubs. Other shops, especially those of clothing, footwear and ceramics, are located along the streets of the center up to the upper part of the town. The vertical development of the town is one of the main characteristics of Positano.
Excluding the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and the two beaches of Marina Grande and Fornillo, there are not many things to see in Positano. The real attraction is its particular configuration overlooking the sea.
Positano attracts more for the way it lives than for what there's to see. The streets of the historic center, all with steps and ups and downs, are the most popular. Tourists are rightly attracted to typically Mediterranean environments.
