Classic Gozzo 7.50 Private Tour to Capri and Positano from Sorrento

A full-day private sea journey through the most iconic waters of the Mediterranean.


This private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano offers a rare opportunity to experience two of Italy's most celebrated destinations from the privileged vantage point of the sea. Departing from the Sorrento port area aboard a classic Gozzo 7.50, the journey covers the sea caves of Capri, the dramatic Faraglioni rocks, and the cliff-draped village of Positano in a single, unhurried day.

The tour is designed for travelers who want to move at their own pace, free from the crowds of larger group excursions. Every stop — from a swim at Marina Piccola to a stroll through Positano's narrow artisan lanes — unfolds privately, with a dedicated crew focused entirely on your experience.

The route balances natural spectacle with cultural texture. Ancient rock formations, working lighthouses, centuries-old fishing coves, and pastel-painted villages together paint a picture of the southern Italian coast that few visitors get to see in a single outing.

Comfortable, accessible, and rated easy in difficulty, this excursion suits a wide range of travelers, from families with older children to couples seeking a refined day on the water. No special fitness level or prior sailing experience is required.

Tour Highlights

Enter the White Grotto, decorated with white calcareous formations and delicate stalactites shaped entirely by the sea over thousands of years.

Pass beneath the arch of the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks, three majestic formations rising from the sea just off the coast of Capri.

Visit Punta Carena, home to Italy's second most powerful lighthouse, set on a dramatic rocky promontory on Capri's southwestern tip.

Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Marina Piccola, one of Capri's most beloved coves, famed for its calm sea and scenic surroundings.

Admire the Natural Arch, a Paleolithic rock formation standing 12 meters wide and nearly 20 meters high, carved by centuries of wind and sea.

Sail past the Li Galli islands along the Amalfi Coast en route to Positano, a lesser-visited archipelago with a storied history.

Explore Positano on foot, wandering its characteristic narrow streets lined with boutiques and workshops still crafting handmade sandals as they did in the 1960s.
