Discover the highlights of Capri and Positano on a private boat excursion. Sit back and enjoy the beauty of the Neapolitan Riviera with your private captain at the wheel in a day customized just for you. This tour is perfect for the adventurous because it is full of exploration, relaxation and fun.A local captain will pick you up with a private boat from Marina Grande in Capri and cruise towards Positano, one of southern Italy’s most marveled villages on a roughly 6 hour day.
While Capri is typically crowded on the island itself, there is so much to be discovered from the sea. Cruise to the famous Blue Grotto, a small cave in the rocks just large enough for a rowboat to enter. This cave is famous for its electric blue waters caused by the sun's reflection under the rocks.
Other notable caves are the Green and White Grottos. The Green Grotto is a sea-cave with turquoise waters and natural arch opening up into a glimmering bay. The White Grotto is a cave etched up further on a cliff, where the mixing of spring and seawater provides an ambiance that is hard to forget. Stop to swim off the boat in the turquoise waters before cruising over to the famous Faraglioni Rock Formations, a backdrop to countless well-known fashion and perfume ads. These three massive rocks are about 100 meters high and can be seen from far away along the Amalfi Coast.
As you cruise across the Bay of Naples don't forget to turn around to take a photo of Capri, as the full view of the entire island is captivating. Once you cross the Bay of Naples you will enter the Gulf of Salerno, framed by jagged mountains, tiny fishing villages and little islets. You will cruise past the characteristic and little-known fishing village of Nerano, which features several quaint beach-side restaurants that are highly encouraged to stop at for lunch and a swim.
One of the more notable sights that this excursion features is Li Galli Islands, famed as Homer’s location of the Sirens that tempted Ulysses in “The Odyssey.” The islands are located just off the coast of Positano, a colorful village sprawled vertically up the mountainside. Positano includes dozens of fine local shops, beachside restaurants and luxury hotels. Notable attractions in Positano include the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, a historic church with a vast dome created in the 1920’s. Enjoy some time in the village before heading back to Capri.
