Details

Set along the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast, Positano serves as the perfect launchpad for a full day of maritime adventure with Luxury Boats Positano. This private boat tour casts you into the heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea, steering toward the iconic island of Capri—a gem of the Mediterranean known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and shimmering blue grotto. Leaving behind Positano’s colorful vertical village and terraced cliffs, you’ll cruise over waters clear enough to reveal beneath the surface—a mosaic of marine life and underwater grottos.

Your day unfolds with stops at captivating landmarks sandwiched between sea and sky. The Faraglioni rocks rise sharply from the sea, their fluttering birdlife adding life against the jagged stone. Just nearby, the tiny archipelago of Li Galli invites you to swim in its pure, transparent waters – an unmatched experience of quiet and pristine beauty. The highlight is, of course, the Blue Grotto, a sea cave famed for its surreal blue light reflected through an underwater cavity.

Onshore, the Piazzetta in Capri beckons with its narrow streets and upscale boutiques, a succinct cultural pause amid natural wonders.
