Private Tour to Capri and Positano from Sorrento aboard a Classic Gozzo 850
A full-day private voyage through Capri's sea caves, Amalfi Coast cliffs, and the pastel-colored streets of Positano.
This private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano offers an unhurried exploration of two of the Mediterranean's most celebrated destinations, seen entirely from the sea. Aboard a classic Gozzo 850, guests enjoy exclusive access to hidden grottoes, legendary rock formations, and a charming coastal town without the crowds of larger vessels.
The tour covers the full circuit of Capri's most remarkable sea-level landmarks before heading east along the Amalfi Coast toward Positano. The route is designed to maximize scenic impact while allowing time for swimming, snorkeling, and a leisurely walk through Positano's narrow lanes.
Departing from one of several ports in the Sorrento area, the experience combines natural geology, cultural history, and coastal scenery across a single seven-hour itinerary. The private format means the schedule adapts to the group's pace throughout the day.
Tour Highlights
Explore Capri's White Grotto, formed by dazzling calcareous deposits and delicate stalactites at the waterline.
Pass beneath the arch of the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks, three dramatic formations rising directly from the sea.
View the Punta Carena Lighthouse, Italy's second most powerful, perched on a rocky promontory on Capri's southwestern tip.
Admire the Natural Arch of Capri, a Paleolithic-era rock formation standing nearly 20 meters high above the water.
Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Marina Piccola, Capri's sheltered southern bay with excellent conditions for snorkeling.
Cruise past the Li Galli islands along the Amalfi Coast on the approach to Positano.
Walk through Positano's vertical streets lined with boutiques and artisan sandal workshops that have operated since the 1960s.
