Private Luxury Yacht: Capri and Positano from Sorrento
Discover the Amalfi Coast and the Island of Capri entirely at your own pace aboard a private yacht
This private yacht tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano offers an unhurried, exclusive way to explore two of Italy's most celebrated coastal destinations. Departing from the Sorrento area, you will spend seven hours navigating crystalline waters aboard a luxury Shamal 40 vessel. Every stop along the route is chosen to reveal the most scenic and storied corners of the Campanian coastline.
The island of Capri greets you with a succession of natural landmarks that have defined Mediterranean travel for generations. Sea caves framed by ancient limestone, towering rock formations, and a sheltered marina with calm, transparent waters all form part of a morning that moves at your pace rather than a fixed schedule.
The afternoon brings the Amalfi Coast into view, with the route heading directly to Positano. Colorful terraced houses climb the steep hillsides above a small harbor, and narrow lanes lined with handcraft shops lead down to the waterfront. A complimentary shuttle from your hotel to the departure port is included, making the logistics straightforward from the first moment of the day.
Tour Highlights
Explore the White and Green Grottoes of Capri, where calcareous formations and filtered light create an extraordinary natural spectacle.
Cruise past the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks and pass beneath the famous arch, one of the most recognized silhouettes on the Italian coast.
Visit the Punta Carena Lighthouse, one of Italy's most powerful, set on a dramatic and relatively uncrowded promontory at the southwestern tip of Capri.
Admire the Natural Arch, a Paleolithic rock formation standing nearly 20 meters high that rises directly from the sea.
Swim in the clear waters of Marina Piccola, a sheltered bay on Capri's southern shore well regarded for snorkeling and relaxation.
Cruise along the Amalfi Coast and admire the Li Galli archipelago before arriving at Positano's distinctive vertical townscape.
Travel on a fully private basis aboard a Shamal 40 luxury yacht, with a complimentary hotel pickup shuttle included in the experience.
Itinerary
Your journey begins at one of several available ports in the Sorrento area. A complimentary shuttle collects you directly from your hotel and transfers you to the departure point, where the Shamal 40 yacht is prepared and ready.
Crossing the Gulf of Naples, you arrive at Capri and begin a sea-level tour of its geological landmarks. The White Grotto reveals dazzling calcareous stalactites at its entrance, while the Natural Arch — 12 meters wide and nearly 20 meters tall — stands as one of the island's most ancient natural features.
Three massive sea stacks emerge from the water at the Faraglioni, forming one of the most photographed seascapes in Italy. The route continues to Punta Carena, where the lighthouse marks the island's southwestern edge from a striking rocky headland.
The yacht anchors at Marina Piccola, a calm bay on the southern coast of Capri. Guests are welcome to swim, snorkel, or relax on deck with a drink before continuing the tour.
Departing Capri, the yacht heads east along the Amalfi Coast. The route passes the Li Galli archipelago, three small islands historically linked to the legend of the Sirens, set against a backdrop of steep coastal cliffs.
The tour concludes at Positano, where pastel-colored houses descend in tiers toward the sea. Time ashore allows guests to explore the town's narrow lanes, browse its artisan boutiques, and take in the waterfront atmosphere before returning to Sorrento.
