Capri Premium Boat Tour from Positano: Snorkel, Swim & Explore the Amalfi Coast

Set off from the sun-warmed quay of Porto di Sorrento with Capri Premium From Positano, an eight-hour small-boat loop that stitches together the most magnetic coastal scenes between Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and Capri. The trip departs from the Sorrento Sea Tours office at Marina Piccola (Porto di Sorrento) and moves past Marina Grande, Massa Lubrense and the sheltered bays that have sheltered fishing boats for generations. On the water you’ll ride a classic Italian gozzo, guided by an experienced skipper who reads currents and caves like a map. The route circles Capri so you encounter sea-sculpted highlights up close: the Faraglioni stacks, the pale limestone faces of Punta Carena, Villa Malaparte’s red-cement silhouette, and the narrow mouths of the Grotta Bianca, Grotta Verde and the world-famous Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto). Skippers can attempt entry to the Grotta Azzurra for an optional €14 per person; light and tide decide access. Natural details matter here—the cliffs are weathered limestone and dolomite, cored with sea caves and clefts where Posidonia beds run shallow. The sun brightens the Mediterranean maquis and terraces of lemon and olive that slope down toward the sea, while chance encounters with common dolphins and shearwaters punctuate the crossings. Stops include a long break to explore Capri on foot—time for the Gardens of Augustus, the Piazzetta and Anacapri—followed by snorkeling and a final swim at the Baths of Regina Giovanna beneath the Roman-era ruins outside Sorrento. The boat supplies snorkeling gear, an open bar of soft drinks and beer, a caprese sandwich, lifejackets, and local hospitality; a post-tour limoncello brings the day to a citrus finish. Practically, the tour runs eight hours with pickup from central Sorrento available; luggage space and shade are limited, and the Blue Grotto has an extra fee. This cruise is ideal for swimmers and travelers who want a focused, local-knowledge run around Capri without the rush of a large ferry: it trades crowded decks for room to move, quick swims in crystalline water, and storytelling from sailors who’ve worked these shores for years. Whether you’re chasing grotto light, the silhouette of the Faraglioni at sunset, or simply a morning of salt and lemon-scented breeze, Capri Premium From Positano sketches a near-perfect sea day along one of Italy’s most animated coastlines. Expect attentive local service: skippers narrate island lore, point out Villa Jovis remains and the jump of Emperor Tiberius, and hand out tips for dining in Capri’s Piazzetta. The tour’s small-group format keeps noise low and lines short; it’s a clear choice for photographers, families with competent swimmers, and anyone who prefers exploration over transit. Bring cash for optional grotto entry, lightweight layers for sea breeze, and a sense of openness—this coastline rewards curiosity.
