About La Boa Charter & Diving
La Boa Charter & Diving is a dual-service operation based at Marina di Praia in Praiano, combining a fully equipped dive centre with a private boat charter service. Sitting on a tiny beach tucked between dramatic cliff walls, Marina di Praia is one of the most atmospheric spots on the entire Amalfi Coast — and La Boa has been the go-to water sports operator here for years.
The diving side offers PADI and SSI courses from beginner through to advanced certification, along with guided dives to sites across the Amalfi Coast and the Sorrento Peninsula. Key dive sites include the underwater caves near Praiano, the reefs around Conca dei Marini, and the open-water walls toward Punta Campanella. The charter side runs private boat tours along the coast and to Capri, evening dinner cruises, sunset tours, and water taxi transfers between towns. Their fleet includes traditional gozzo boats and faster motorboats.
La Boa's unique selling point is the combination of diving and boating under one roof. Guests can pair a morning dive with an afternoon coastal cruise, or book multi-day packages that mix both. The Praiano location is central to the coast — equidistant between Amalfi and Positano — making it an efficient base for exploring in either direction. The team is experienced, multilingual, and genuinely passionate about the local marine environment.
