About this experience

A boat tour around the island of Capri is one of the most fascinating experiences to live during a visit to the Amalfi Coast. Your adventure will start from Positano's main beach, where your skipper will welcome you aboard a private boat ready to sail to one of the most iconic islands in the Mediterranean. We will sail along the spectacular coast, with the possibility to customize the excursion according to your wishes: you can choose to spend more time on the island or make stops to swim in the crystal clear waters. Admire the legendary Li Galli Islands and, once you arrive on Capri, discover its natural wonders such as the White Grotto, the Green Grotto and the iconic Faraglioni. Finally, you will have free time to have lunch on the sea and explore the island on your own.
