Cruise the Amalfi Coast in style with a private full-day boat tour to Capri. Swim crystal-clear waters, visit the Blue Grotto, and soak in sunset views framed by towering cliffs.
Stretching along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi Coast is a dramatic coastline famed for its steep cliffs, charming villages, and vibrant Mediterranean waters. In Positano, one of the coast’s most dynamic towns, Luxury Boats Positano offers a full-day private boat tour that unlocks some of the region’s finest marine and cultural treasures. This trip centers on a sleek vessel departing from Positano harbor, navigating the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea toward the island of Capri, a glittering beacon just off the coast.
The tour’s highlight is a private encounter with Capri’s legendary Blue Grotto, a naturally enshrined sea cave known for its surreal azure illumination created by sunlight filtering beneath the water’s surface. The coastal route itself offers unforgettable perspectives on the Amalfi’s jagged cliffs layered with lemon groves and pastel homes clinging precariously to rock faces.
Beyond the grotto, the boat anchors at crystalline coves ideal for quick swims, where the water’s clarity rivals that of the best Mediterranean beaches. Onshore time in Capri’s Piazzetta invites you to wander boutique shops and cafes that pulse with a lively, fashionable atmosphere distinct from the slower pace of the mainland coast.
The day closes with a return route timed to catch the fading light, where the setting sun spills gold and pink hues across the water and cliffs. Luxury Boats Positano’s private tour blends comfortable, personalized service with the raw natural beauty and historic charm unique to this stretch of the Amalfi Coast, making for an immersive yet convenient adventure on Italy’s storied seaside.
