Included Skipper · fuel · prosecco · drinks · snorkelling gear · towels
Positano, Praiano and Amalfi from the sea, on a private boat for your group only — with swim stops and time ashore in Positano.
"Our boat day along the Amalfi coast was the highlight of our trip! Our captain, Giuseppe was a great host. He was positive, kind, and accommodating. We had a memorable day!"
A full day along the coast
We usually leave from Marina Piccola in Sorrento; on request we can also start from Positano — ask us for a quote.
From Sorrento we round Punta Campanella, where the Bay of Naples gives way to the Amalfi Coast, and the cliffs begin their dramatic rise straight out of the sea. Your skipper sets an unhurried pace so you can take photos, swap to a swimsuit and simply watch the coast unfold.
We cruise past Positano with its cascade of pastel houses, the fishing village of Praiano, and the hidden fjord of Furore tucked beneath its arched bridge. Wherever the water is clear we drop anchor to swim, snorkel and float in the sun.
If you'd like, we can stop in Positano or Amalfi for a stroll and a long Italian lunch ashore — just tell your skipper and we shape the day around it.

"This was such a beautiful experience. Raffaele was a perfect captain. We found him and his co-captain Enzo easily. He checked in on WhatsApp on the morning of our trip to assure everything was on schedule. The sea was a bit choppy but he Raffaele handled the boat with ease. Lemoncello was delicious, of course. Definitely take this tour. You will love it."
"My husband and I took a private charter on our Honeymoon and it was the highlight of our 2 week trip!!! I was pleasantly surprised how communicative this company was and the day before our captain, Michele contacted us, ensuring we got out on the water early enough and picked us up! Throughout the tour he educated us on the history/structures on Capri, pointing out great picture spots AND took pictures/videos as well. He set up an incredible lunch for us at a restaurant that wasn’t packed on the water (incredible meal and view). When we ran late while purchasing an item on capri he didn’t make us feel rushed at all. The focus was on us the whole time and he made our trip absolutely amazing!!! At the end he gave us recommendations of restaurants/places nearby in Sorrento and Positano too. I couldn’t recommend this enough!! 10000/10 stars"
