Positano: Full Day Capri Boat Tour – Small Group Experience
Discover the legendary island of Capri by sea, in a relaxed small-group setting departing directly from Positano.
This Capri boat tour from Positano offers a carefully paced full-day journey around one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated islands. A complimentary shuttle transfers you from Positano to the departure port on the Sorrento Peninsula, where a semi-private boat accommodating no more than twelve guests awaits.
The route traces the island's dramatic coastline, passing storied landmarks including Villa Jovis, the White Grotto, the Natural Arch, and the iconic Faraglioni rock formations. Multiple swim stops allow guests to enter the crystal-clear Tyrrhenian waters at leisure.
After the coastal cruise, approximately three and a half to four hours of free time on the island allow independent exploration of Capri's town center, artisan lanes, and waterfront. The return journey follows the same route, with the shuttle bringing the group back to Positano by the end of the day.
Tour Highlights
Sail past the Faraglioni, three iconic sea stacks rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea that define the silhouette of Capri.
Pass beneath the Natural Arch, a massive rock formation carved by centuries of wave erosion above the turquoise sea.
Explore the White Grotto, a sea cave adorned with white calcareous incrustations and clusters of stalactites at the waterline.
Cruise past Villa Malaparte, the striking rationalist villa perched on the southeastern cliffs of Capri.
Spot the Punta Carena lighthouse, Italy's second most powerful, set on a dramatic rocky promontory at the island's western tip.
Stop at Marina Piccola for a swim in calm, clear Mediterranean waters framed by cliffs and coastal restaurants.
Spend three to four hours on Capri independently, with the option to visit the famous Piazzetta and the island's artisan sandal workshops.
Itinerary
The day begins at the meeting point in Positano, where a minivan transfers the group to the port on the Sorrento Peninsula in approximately fifty minutes. Boarding and safety briefing follow upon arrival at the dock.
The boat departs along Capri's eastern coastline, passing the ancient ruins of Villa Jovis and drawing close to the White Grotto, a natural sea cave decorated with white calcareous deposits and delicate stalactite formations at its entrance.
The route continues to the Natural Arch, suspended above the sea on the southern cliffs, before reaching the celebrated Faraglioni rock formations. The skipper navigates close to Villa Malaparte and the entrance of the Grotta di Matromania, a Roman-era nymphaeum carved into the cliff face.
The group anchors near Marina Piccola for a swim in sheltered, clear water. The cruise then rounds the island's southwestern tip past the Punta Carena lighthouse before completing the circuit.
The skipper docks on the island, and guests have approximately three and a half to four hours to explore independently. The Piazzetta, the narrow shopping lanes, and the local dining options are all within walking distance of the port.
The group reunites at the dock for the return boat crossing to the Sorrento Peninsula port. The complimentary minivan then transfers everyone back to the original meeting point in Positano.
