Boat Tour from Positano

Discover Sorrento Coast and Capri from Positano

A full-day voyage along one of the world's most celebrated coastlines, ending at the iconic island of Capri.


This Capri boat tour from Positano takes you on a scenic full-day journey along the Sorrento Coast, weaving past ancient ruins and dramatic sea cliffs before circling the entire island of Capri and its legendary grottos. It is an accessible, well-organized experience suited to travelers who want both guided discovery and independent exploration time.

Departing from Positano, the route follows the Sorrento coastline at a comfortable pace, revealing landmarks that are often invisible from the road. Highlights include the remains of a Roman villa near the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, a natural waterfall cascading directly from the rock face into the sea, and the historic fishermen's village of Marina Grande.

Once at Capri, the boat circumnavigates the island, allowing guests to observe the Faraglioni rock stacks, Villa Malaparte, the Natural Arch, and the Punta Carena Lighthouse from the water. Stops for swimming and snorkeling are included during navigation, and snacks and drinks are provided on board. Guests then have several hours of free time to explore the island independently before the return cruise to Sorrento with a limoncello tasting on board.
