SUP Rental in Positano
​
Grab a board. Get on the water. Explore Positano your own way.
SUP rental is at the heart of SUP Club Positano.
Whether you want to paddle along the coastline, stop for a swim, explore just beyond Fornillo Beach or simply lie back on the board and use it as your own floating sunbed, you can rent a paddleboard directly from us and enjoy the sea at your own pace.
No tour. No fixed route. No pressure.
Just you, the board and the Amalfi Coast.
We are located at the far end of Fornillo Beach, Positano. Look for our orange umbrella, our paddleboard displayed on the beach and the rest of our boards ready by the water.

-
Paddle

Leash

Lifejacket

Dry bag

​
These items are available as part of your rental, subject to availability.
We strongly recommend using a dry bag and waterproof phone pouch, especially if you are planning to explore further along the coastline.
​
Can Two People Use One Paddleboard?
Yes.
Two people can use one paddleboard together, depending on their combined size, weight, sea conditions and the board being used.
This can be a fun option for couples or friends who want to paddle together rather than taking separate boards.
​
​
Can I Take My Children on One Board?
Yes.
For families with young children, we can usually accommodate one adult with up to three small children on one paddleboard, depending on the combined weight of the group, the board and the conditions on the day.
Lifejackets are available for children.
Parents and guardians remain responsible for supervising their children at all times.
Our team will keep an eye on people using our equipment from the beach where possible, but SUP rental is not a guided activity. Because we may only have one member of staff operating from the beach, parents must stay with their children and actively supervise them.
For families with younger children, we may also recommend remaining closer to shore or within the area we advise on the day.
Safety always comes before distance.
​
Do I Need Paddleboarding Experience?
No.
You do not need to be an experienced paddleboarder to rent from us.
If you are new to SUP, we can show you the basic position, how to hold the paddle and how to get started before you head out.
You can begin sitting or kneeling on the board until you feel comfortable standing.
If you would prefer more guidance, we also offer SUP lessons and guided tours.
​
​
Where Can I Paddle?
This is where SUP rental becomes more than simply hiring a board.
Once you move away from Fornillo Beach, the coastline begins to open up in front of you.
Towering mountains rise above the sea, rocky sections of coastline appear around the corners and you begin to discover a completely different view of Positano.
Depending on your experience, conditions and how long you have rented the board for, you can discover:
Breathtaking coastal views
The coastline looks completely different from sea level, with cliffs and mountains towering above you.
Clear Mediterranean water
Stop somewhere beautiful, secure your board and jump in for a swim or use one of our snorkelling masks.
Hidden corners of the coastline
Small rocky areas, coves and quieter parts of the coast can be discovered once you move away from the main beach.
Cliff-jumping locations
There are places along the coastline where experienced and confident guests may find opportunities for cliff jumping.
Cliff jumping is entirely at your own risk and should only be considered where conditions and individual ability make it appropriate.
Shade and quiet areas
If the beach becomes busy or hot, paddling along the coastline can give you an opportunity to discover quieter areas and natural shade.
​
Or Do Absolutely Nothing
Not everybody rents a paddleboard because they want an adventure.
Sometimes you just want your own sunbed on the water.
Take the board out, lie down, float in the Mediterranean, enjoy the sunshine and look back towards Positano.
There is no rule saying you have to paddle for the entire hour.
Some of our favourite rentals are the people who paddle out for five minutes and then spend the next forty lying on the board enjoying the sea.
​
​
What Should I Bring?
For shorter rentals, you don't need very much.
For anything longer than approximately one hour, we strongly recommend bringing:
-
Drinking water
-
Sun protection
-
Swimwear
-
Your phone
-
A hat
-
Anything else you normally need when spending time in the sun
We particularly recommend bringing your phone.
Apart from the incredible photo opportunities, it also gives you a way to contact us if you need assistance while you are away from the beach.
Keep it protected inside one of our waterproof phone pouches.
​
​
Check the Weather & Sea Conditions
SUP rentals depend on the sea and weather conditions.
The Mediterranean can look very different from one hour to the next, so we may occasionally restrict rentals, recommend staying closer to shore or temporarily stop equipment going onto the water.
If we advise against going out, it is because we believe the conditions are unsuitable.
We would always rather delay a rental than put somebody onto the water when conditions are not right.
​
​
Want to Explore Further?
If one or two hours doesn't feel like enough, you may prefer one of our guided experiences.
SUP Club Positano also offers:
Sunrise Tours
Start the day on the water before the coastline becomes busy.
Sunset Tours
One of our most popular experiences, exploring the coastline as the colours begin to change.
Half-Day Tours
More time to paddle, swim, snorkel and discover the coast.
Full-Day Tours
Our biggest SUP adventure for guests who really want to explore.
Guided tours are best pre-booked in advance, particularly during the busy summer months.
​
​
Packed Lunches
Packed lunches can also be arranged in advance for selected longer experiences and full-day bookings.
If you are planning to spend several hours exploring the coastline, contact us before your visit and ask about the food options available.
​
​

If you enjoy the equipment you use during your rental, some items are also available to purchase.

-
Waterproof phone pouches
-

Sun hats

​
Before You Paddle – Check Our Instagram
If you have never been paddleboarding around Positano before, have a look at our Instagram before you visit.
You will be able to see the coastline, the water, the places we explore and what a day with SUP Club Positano actually looks like.
It may also give you a few ideas about where you want to paddle once you get your board.
The Amalfi Coast is about adventure, discovery and freedom.
Sometimes that means paddling around the next corner to see what is there.
Sometimes it means jumping into clear Mediterranean water.
And sometimes it means lying on your board in the sunshine doing absolutely nothing.
That is the beauty of renting your own SUP.
