Details

The Amalfi Coast’s luminous stretch of cliffs, terraced vineyards, and sapphire waters find a new dimension aboard a private boat tour with Luxury Boats Positano. Departing from the iconic vertical town of Positano, this full-day trip charts a course to the wild, volcanic island of Ischia or the vividly colorful, lesser-known island of Procida. Both destinations offer a striking contrast to the mainland, blending raw nature with intimate local culture.

Ischia stands out for its geothermal springs, lush gardens, and rocky coastline sculpted by ancient volcanic activity. Travelers can swim in clear coves framed by volcanic rock formations, a rare geological feature that rewards snorkelers with underwater rock gardens and vibrant Mediterranean fish. Meanwhile, Procida’s pastel-hued fishing houses and narrow alleys offer a rich dive into southern Italian maritime heritage, far from the usual tourist crowds.

Luxury Boats Positano specializes in tailoring this maritime escapade for those who want privacy and authenticity. Their experienced captains navigate calm, crystalline waters, stopping at secret coves perfect for snorkeling or sunbathing. The experience is punctuated by tastings of regional specialties—fresh seafood, limoncello, and local wines—served onboard or in tucked-away seaside eateries.

What sets this company apart is its impeccable balance of comfort and access. Guests enjoy the intimacy of a private vessel with attentive service, all framed by the iconic Amalfi Coast’s dramatic vistas. Whether you’re drawn by volcanic landscapes or charming small-town character, this tour unlocks a side of Italy often overlooked.

Far from a simple boat ride, the Ischia or Procida Full Day Private Tour by Luxury Boats Positano invites you into a sensory journey through geography, history, and culture that anchors the Amalfi Coast’s reputation as a world-class outdoor destination.
