What To Expect

Make your own way to the Positano pier in the morning for pickup by your captain.

Step aboard your private vessel and head north along the Mediterranean coast toward the island of Capri. Stop first at Li Galli Islands, a private archipelago and marine reserve. Stop for a swim, or simply relax and enjoy the island landscape, which includes three private luxury villas high above the rocks. These islands are understood as the place where Ulysses hears the song of the sirens in Homer's Greek classic 'The Odyssey;' the islands were also once owned by the Rudolf Nureyev, the great Soviet ballet dancer.

Next up, pass the active volcano Mt. Vesuvius as you continue across the Bay of Naples to Capri. Upon arrival, your captain shows you top sights such as the Green and White grottos, Blue Grotto, and the Faraglioni rock formations. Have time to take a dip in hidden coves and inlets.

If you get hungry, your captain can pull up at the dock of one of Capri's fine waterside restaurants so that you can enjoy a meal or refreshments (own expense).

Spend your time on the island at your leisure. At the end of your tour, your captain returns you to Positano.

The BEST PRIVATE Tour of the Grottos & Capri!

Michelle_H, May 2022

We’re SOOOO glad we spent a little extra money for a PRIVATE boat tour around the amalfi coast. The tour operator was very easy to contact & I got immediate responses which was very comforting as it was our first time in Positano. Our tour guide Luigi was the absolute best! He showed us all the grottos and explained everything along the way. We REALLY enjoyed our privacy & the company of our own family throughout this. We saw the other big boat tours and how cramp packed they were, and we felt like we made the right decision. We got to choose what we wanted to see & do upon a boarding the boat! Everything was stunning & we got to have lunch on Capri. Grazie Mille! We had a wonderful time!!

Response from Host, May 2022

I am so glad that you enjoyed your day with us. A private tour is such a different experience from a group tour, you can really focus on what is most important for you to see an do and what is on your bucket list. Especially with a local to show you around! Thank you and come back again soon.

We had a great time! The...

We had a great time! The boat was perfect for lounging and made the ride very enjoyable. Our captain was very knowledgeable with the area and super friendly. I highly recommend this private tour. I wouldn't do it any other way.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you for your great review Lori! Our captains were all born and raised in this area on the water...who's better than them to give a private tour? Nobody! haha. Be well and come back again soon!

Amazing boat trip. Highly recommend...

Luz M, Aug 2017

Amazing boat trip. Highly recommend. Excellent communication from Valeria prior to excursion. Due to water conditions we changed trip itinerary based on captain's recommendations - much appreciated. He also took us to a perfect restaurant just on the water and to a wonderful spot to jump in and swim to shore.
