A private boat tour from Positano is the quintessential Amalfi Coast experience, offering a perspective of the coastline that is impossible to achieve from the winding cliffside roads. Whether you choose a traditional wooden Gozzo or a sleek modern speedboat, you'll glide past the iconic Li Galli islands, legendary home of the sirens, and explore hidden sea caves like the Grotta dello Smeraldo. Most tours offer full customization, allowing you to linger in the crystalline waters off Capri, dock for a seaside lunch in Nerano, or toast the sunset with prosecco as the lights of Positano begin to twinkle. With a professional local captain at the helm, you'll navigate the dramatic cliffs and azure grottos with ease, enjoying a stress-free day of luxury, sun, and sea.

Real experiences from real travelers
Booking the private boat to Capri was the best decision we made. Our captain, Alessandro, knew all the quiet spots to swim away from the crowds. The prosecco at sunset was magical.
We booked the 8-hour Amalfi Coast tour. Seeing the Fjord of Furore from the water is a completely different experience. The boat was spotless and the fruit was so fresh.
Bellissima barca e capitano molto gentile. We saw the Blue Grotto and the Faraglioni. A bit expensive but worth every penny for the privacy you get.
We had 6 people and plenty of space. The kids loved snorkeling in the hidden coves. Booking through the platform was easy and the communication was great.
We did the 2-hour sunset tour. Watching Positano light up from the sea while sipping prosecco is a memory I will cherish forever. Highly recommend.
The customized itinerary allowed us to skip the crowded spots and find our own private beach. Our skipper was a local legend with great stories.
The boat was beautiful and the sights were breathtaking. Make sure to bring extra sunscreen as the Mediterranean sun is very strong!
From booking to the actual tour, everything was professional. The boat was modern and very fast. We reached Capri in no time.

The primary meeting point is the Positano Main Beach (Spiaggia Grande) near the pier where the ferries dock. Your skipper will coordinate the exact spot.
Yes, most full-day tours to Capri include a stop at the Blue Grotto. Please note that the entry fee is paid separately on-site and entrance depends on weather and sea conditions.
For most private charters listed on our platform, fuel is included in the price. However, some luxury yacht options may charge for fuel based on consumption; this will be clearly stated.
If the captain deems the sea conditions unsafe, you will be offered an alternative date or a full refund. Your safety is always the priority.
Absolutely! That is the benefit of a private tour. You can decide where to swim, where to stop for lunch, and how long to spend at each location.
Most medium and large vessels (Gozzos and speedboats) have a small cabin with a toilet. Smaller open boats may not, so it's best to check the boat specifications before booking.
There are no strict age restrictions, but parents should ensure children are comfortable on the water. Life jackets for children are provided.
While not mandatory, a tip of 10-15% is customary in Italy for exceptional service and is greatly appreciated by the local skippers.
