The Ultimate Mediterranean Day Trip

A boat tour from Positano to Capri is the quintessential Amalfi Coast experience, blending high-seas adventure with the timeless elegance of Italian island life. As you depart the vertical village of Positano, you'll cruise past the legendary Li Galli islands—once home to the mythical sirens—before reaching the rugged limestone cliffs of Capri. These curated tours offer more than just transport; they are immersive journeys where you can swim in hidden emerald coves, marvel at the geological wonder of the White and Green Grottos, and navigate through the iconic Arch of Love at the Faraglioni rocks. Whether you choose a social small-group cruise or an exclusive private yacht, you'll enjoy professional skipper service and the freedom to explore Capri's chic boutiques and hilltop views at your own pace.

Planning

Historical Context

The path from Positano to Capri follows the ancient trade routes used by the Greeks and Romans who settled these coastlines thousands of years ago.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut through water glare
  • Keep your camera in a waterproof bag between stops
  • Golden hour (5 PM) provides the best light for the Positano cliffs

Insider Tips

  • Skip the Blue Grotto if the line is over 2 hours; the Green Grotto is just as beautiful and usually empty.

Fun Facts

Unforgettable Birthday Trip

The private boat tour was the highlight of our honeymoon. Our skipper, Fabio, knew exactly where to stop for the quietest swim spots. Seeing the Faraglioni up close is something I'll never forget.

Bellissimo Capri

A great group tour. It was social and fun. The 6 hours went by so fast! Only downside was the wait at the Blue Grotto, but the crew handled it well.

Luxury at its Finest

We booked a private yacht for 8 people. It was worth every penny. The boat was immaculate, and the views of Positano from the water are even better than from the town.

Wonderful Scenery

The grottos are stunning. Even if you don't go inside the Blue Grotto, the White and Green ones are included and just as beautiful. Great value for money.

Highly Recommended

The small group size (12 people) was perfect. We didn't feel crowded and had plenty of space to sunbathe on the deck.
