About this tour
Sail from Sorrento aboard a private 38-foot motor boat to explore Capri's hidden coves and grottoes, then cruise past Positano's stacked pastel villages clinging to the cliffs. Your skipper plots the route based on weather and sea conditions, giving you flexibility to swim in secluded spots or step ashore in either location (fees apply). The full loop takes around seven to eight hours, with return to Sorrento by early evening. Prosecco, snacks and all safety gear included.

- On-board shower, restroom and seasonal fruit provided
- Prosecco toast included; beer and soft drinks throughout
What to expect
You'll depart Sorrento and motor along the Amalfi coast for roughly an hour, arriving first at either Capri or Positano depending on the captain's read of weather. Expect calm, unhurried exploration: cruising past dramatic rock formations, anchoring in translucent bays for swimming, and spotting the famous Blue Grotto entrance (entry fee separate). Positano from sea level is genuinely striking—no photograph quite captures the tangle of coloured buildings stacked vertically above the shore. You have freedom to linger, swim or request a stop to explore on foot. The boat crew manages logistics so you focus on the experience.
