Private Boat Tour — Capri & Positano from Sorrento
Private Day Tour to Capri and Positano by Gozzo Apreamare 10
A full-day private journey along the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri, seen from the sea as it deserves to be.
This private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano offers a rare opportunity to discover two of southern Italy's most celebrated destinations in a single day, entirely at your own pace and in complete privacy.
Departing from the Sorrento port area aboard a classic Gozzo Apreamare 10, you will cruise across the Gulf of Naples to reach the island of Capri, exploring its sea caves, dramatic rock formations, and sheltered coves from the water. No crowds, no shared schedules — just open sea and extraordinary scenery.
The afternoon route follows the Amalfi Coast exclusively toward Positano, passing the Li Galli archipelago before arriving at the iconic village where you can step ashore and explore its narrow lanes and coastal boutiques.
Tour Highlights
Visit the White Grotto and the Green Grotto, two of Capri's most celebrated sea caves, distinguished by their calcareous formations and striking light effects.
Pass beneath the legendary Faraglioni rock stacks, three towering formations rising directly from the Tyrrhenian Sea and inseparable from Capri's identity.
Admire the Natural Arch, a stone formation dating to the Paleolithic age, standing 12 meters wide and nearly 20 meters high above the waterline.
Cruise past Punta Carena, home to Italy's second most powerful lighthouse, set on a rugged promontory on the southwestern tip of Capri.
Stop at Marina Piccola for a swim in clear water, with time to snorkel or relax before continuing along the coast toward Positano.
Sail along the Amalfi Coast with views of the Li Galli islands, a small private archipelago historically associated with ancient mythology.
Arrive in Positano and explore its vertical townscape, colorful houses, and the artisan sandal workshops that have been part of the village's identity since the 1960s.

This private boat tour operates along the southwestern coast of Italy, departing from the Sorrento Peninsula in the Campania region. The itinerary crosses the Gulf of Naples to reach the island of Capri, a destination located approximately 5 kilometers off the tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula. From Capri, the route follows the Amalfi Coast — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — westward along a 50-kilometer stretch of dramatic coastline to Positano, a village built vertically into the cliffs of the Lattari Mountains above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Key geographic landmarks visited during the tour include the Faraglioni rock stacks, the Natural Arch geological formation, Punta Carena on Capri's southwestern tip, and the Li Galli archipelago between Capri and Positano. The region sits within the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea and is consistently ranked among the most scenically significant coastal areas in the Mediterranean basin.
