Private Boat Transfer Between Capri and Positano by Traditional Gozzo

A dedicated, queue-free sea crossing along one of the most scenic coastlines in the Mediterranean


This private boat transfer from Capri to Positano offers a seamless, comfortable passage aboard a classic Sorrento gozzo, a wooden vessel long associated with the seafaring traditions of the Bay of Naples. There are no shared schedules, no crowded ferry terminals, and no waiting in line. You travel on your own terms, departing when it suits you.

The route connects two of the most celebrated destinations on the Amalfi and Campanian coast. Whether you are arriving on Capri after a stay in Positano or heading the other direction, the transfer operates in both directions with equal ease and flexibility.

A gozzo is a low-profile, traditionally built boat well suited to the calm inshore waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its size and maneuverability allow it to dock at smaller piers and approach the coastline more closely than larger commercial ferries. The crossing typically takes around one hour and twenty minutes depending on sea conditions.

This service is designed for travelers who value their time and prefer a private experience over public transport options. Luggage is accommodated without the restrictions or surcharges often encountered on scheduled hydrofoils or ferries.
