Positano Boat Struggles in Stormy Sea Leaves No Injuries
On July 27, strong sirocco gusts made docking hazardous for a Grassi Junior tourist boat at the Positano harbor on the Amalfi Coast. A video taken by visiting tourist David Hughes shows the vessel being repeatedly lifted and pushed away from the pier, prompting the crew to temporarily disengage from the dock. The maneuver concluded without any injuries.
The incident revived concerns about safety procedures and infrastructure at Positano’s busy marina, especially under adverse weather, and prompted online discussion about the professionalism of the crew and the need for enhanced port authority oversight.
