Details

The Amalfi Coast, stretching along Italy’s Campania region, is renowned for its raw Mediterranean beauty—a fusion of steep cliffs, vibrant fishing villages, and crystalline sea. Amalfi Boats offers a semi-private Full Day Capri shared tour that uncovers this coastline’s most captivating marine treasures, presenting a hands-on way to witness one of Italy’s most photogenic seascapes. Departing from Amalfi, the boat slices through waters sparkling under the southern sun, heading toward Capri’s dramatic shores.

This experience balances natural spectacle with cultural touchstones. Passengers glide past the legendary Faraglioni rock formations—towering limestone stacks rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea—and pause to peer inside the Blue Grotto, a luminescent sea cave famed for its ethereal blue light caused by sunlight filtering underwater. Along the route, views of Mount Vesuvius provide a distant but ever-present reminder of the area’s volatile geology and historic significance.

Opportunities to swim in secluded coves, swim in clear water, and sunbathe on deck punctuate the journey, while free time on Capri lets guests wander piazzas and coastal trails or enjoy Anacapri’s relaxed charm. The tour’s semi-private format fosters connection to the surroundings without overwhelming crowds, a rare plus amid the region’s summer popularity.

What sets Amalfi Boats apart is their intimate yacht-style vessels tailored for personalized adventure, combining comfort with a spirit of discovery. This tour serves both seasoned travelers eager for a well-rounded coastal outing and first-timers drawn by the celebrated Amalfi coastline and Capri’s allure. With a mix of iconic sites, hidden inlets, geology, and local culture, this full-day boat tour stakes its claim as a top maritime experience in Campania.
