Capri Boat Tour from Positano
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.
