Private Boat Transfer Between Capri and Amalfi by Sorrento Gozzo

A dedicated, comfortable sea crossing along one of Italy's most celebrated coastlines


This private boat transfer between Capri and Amalfi offers a direct, unhurried crossing aboard a classic Sorrento gozzo, eliminating the queues and waiting times that come with scheduled ferry services. The service runs in both directions, making it equally suited for arrivals and departures. Every journey is reserved exclusively for your group, ensuring a relaxed and personal experience on the water.

The Sorrento gozzo is a traditional wooden vessel deeply associated with this stretch of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its low profile and sturdy build make it well-suited to coastal waters, and the open deck gives passengers unobstructed views of the Amalfi Coast and the dramatic cliffs of Capri throughout the crossing.

Unlike shared ferry options, this transfer is arranged around your schedule and the needs of your group. There are no fixed departure boards to follow, no crowded terminals to navigate, and no transfers between vessels. Your skipper handles the entire passage, allowing you to focus on the scenery.

The route covers some of the most photographed waters in the Mediterranean, passing rocky headlands, hidden coves, and the characteristic pastel-coloured villages of the Amalfi Coast. The 80-minute crossing provides a genuine perspective on the landscape that road travel cannot replicate.

Tour Highlights

Travel in total safety aboard a well-maintained traditional vessel skippered by an experienced local captain.

Fully private service dedicated to your group, with no other passengers sharing the boat.

Available in both directions — from Capri to Amalfi or from Amalfi to Capri — with flexible scheduling.

Scenic 80-minute sea crossing along the Amalfi Coast with uninterrupted views of the cliffs, coves, and villages.

No queues, no waiting rooms, and no shared ferry timetables to plan around.

Classic Sorrento gozzo, a vessel with deep roots in the maritime tradition of this region.
