Cruise the glittering Mediterranean between Sorrento and Positano aboard a private boat with Sparviere Boat Tours. Discover hidden coves, ancient fjords, and the vibrant village of Positano in unparalleled comfort and style.
Set along the southern edge of Italy’s Campania region, the coastline from Sorrento through Massa Lubrense to Positano unveils some of the Mediterranean’s most striking maritime landscapes. Sparviere Boat Tours offers a private boat journey that captures this rugged beauty with an intimate vantage point. Launching from Massa Lubrense, this trip navigates a string of hidden coves and crystalline waters, including Jeranto Bay—a serene spot perfect for swimming and soaking in panoramic sea views. The boat glides close to Punta Campanella, where steep limestone cliffs plunge sharply into the sea, creating dramatic rock formations shaped over millennia by wind and waves.
One of the day’s highlights is disembarking at Positano, a colorful coastal village famed for its vertically stacked homes and labyrinthine streets carved into the cliffs. Beyond the town itself, Sparviere’s tour ventures toward the fjord of Crapolla, a secluded inlet marked by dense Mediterranean flora and ruins hinting at the area’s ancient maritime heritage. Each stop offers quiet respite and opportunities to absorb nature’s quiet grandeur far from the summer crowds.
This private charter stands apart in Campania’s adventure scene by blending active coastal discovery with cultural moments ashore, allowing guests to customize pacing and focal points. Whether plunging into cool waters, photographing sunlit rock faces, or walking Positano’s steep alleys, travelers engage directly with the region’s striking combination of geological wonder and historic charm. Sparviere Boat Tours embodies the spirit of personalized, small-group seafaring adventure, delivering exceptional access to iconic and lesser-known gems along the Amalfi Coast’s breathtaking shoreline.
