Two coastlines, one perfect day

If you only have one day and want to see it all, this is the tour. We leave Sorrento in the morning and dedicate the whole day to the two great names of this stretch of sea — the island of Capri and the Amalfi Coast — at a relaxed, unhurried rhythm set by you.

We begin along the Sorrento coast, passing the Roman ruins of Bagni della Regina Giovanna and the wild little fjord of Crapolla, then cross to Capri. Here we circle the island for its most famous views: the Faraglioni rising from the sea, the Natural Arch, the Green and White grottoes, and a stop to swim in clear, deep water before free time ashore.

In the afternoon we turn toward the Amalfi Coast, gliding past Li Galli and Positano cascading down its cliff — with more swim stops wherever the sea invites you in. It is a long, full, golden day, and the kind people talk about for years.

The itinerary

  1. Departure from Sorrento

    We leave Marina Piccola in the morning and follow the Sorrento coast, past the Roman ruins of Bagni della Regina Giovanna and the wild little fjord of Crapolla.

  2. Crossing to Capri

    We cross to Capri and circle the island for its great sights from the water — the Faraglioni, the Natural Arch and the Green and White grottoes — with a swim in clear, deep water.

  3. Free time in Capri

    We moor near Marina Piccola or Marina Grande and you step ashore for a while: the Piazzetta, a coffee or a light lunch with a view.

  4. Toward the Amalfi Coast

    In the afternoon we turn for the mainland, gliding past the islands of Li Galli where the coast begins its dramatic rise.

  5. Positano from the sea

    We take in Positano cascading down its cliff, with more swim stops wherever the sea invites.

  6. Return to Sorrento

    A long, golden cruise back along the coast to close a full day at sea.

"Absolutely unforgettable experience with Rafael! He gave us an amazing boat tour along the Amalfi Coast—breathtaking views, hidden gems, and a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. He was knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel so welcome. Truly a highlight of our trip to Italy. Highly recommend booking with him!"

"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"

Before you book

Frequently asked questions

Is lunch included?

No — lunch is ashore and at your own expense, during your free time in Capri or Positano. In Capri, if you book lunch at our partner sea-view restaurant, you come ashore with its private water-boat service and skip the €100 port fee.

Can we visit the Blue Grotto?

We take you there when the sea and the queues allow, but entry can never be guaranteed — it depends on conditions on the day, and your skipper will advise you honestly. The ticket, about €18 per person, is paid on site.

How do we book and pay?

Send us your date, your group size and where you're staying — on WhatsApp, by email or through our booking form. We reply quickly with a quote for the whole boat, in euros. A deposit holds your date; the rest is paid on board.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first: your skipper decides whether the sea is safe and may adjust the route. If the weather stops your tour, we offer you a new date or a refund of what you've paid.

We're on a cruise. Can we do this tour?

Yes — all our tours adapt to your port call. Send us your ship, port, date and all-aboard time: we build the day around your ship's schedule with a generous safety margin, so you're back in port well ahead of all-aboard. More on our cruise shore excursions page.

Want to focus on just one?

Prefer only Capri, or only the Amalfi Coast? We tailor the day around what you most want to see.
