Detailed itinerary

1

Start your adventure directly from Amalfi’s main port — no hot, crowded bus transfers to other towns or ports.
Once everyone is on board and briefed about the day ahead, we will be set to sail west toward Capri Island. The route will guide us along the Amalfi Coast, exploring Capri's pristine beaches, natural rock arches, and enchanting sea caves. Along the way, we'll appreciate the old watchtowers dotting the entire coast. Our journey will include stops at secluded beaches accessible only by sea, offering time for snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters and exploring grottoes. Near the start, just after leaving the center of Amalfi, we will reach the "Arc of Lovers," a natural rock arch where couples once exchanged vows.

2

Cruising by the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, we will glimpse Sophia Loren's villa and the historic "Il Saraceno" hotel on La Vite Beach. The stunning Santa Rosa Monastery, now a luxury hotel, showcases the birthplace of the delectable "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa." After Conca dei Marini's seaside, we will enter its western basin, offering breathtaking views of Furore and Praiano villages, Li Galli and Capri islands, and the iconic Faraglioni Rocks. Inside this basin lies the Runghetiello Grotto, a picturesque sea cave named after a local fish, featuring vibrant frescoes on its red and green mineral-coated walls: a perfect spot for a refreshing dip.

3

We will then reach the famous Furore Fjord, Italy's only natural fjord, hosting the "MarMeeting" international diving competition. Professional divers from around the world showcase their skills by leaping from the 28-meter high bridge every July.

Stop 4

Continuing to Praiano, we will explore the larger Africana Grotto with its distinctively blue waters due to light refraction.

5

From here, we will set sail for Capri, disembarking for a three-hour on-foot exploration and lunch (not included). The route to the island will offer a breathtaking view of Positano and the Sorrento Peninsula. Upon reboarding, we will commence the exploration of Capri's seafront, focusing on its South-East side, home to key attractions. Our first sights will include Villa Jovis, the splendid residence of Roman Emperor Tiberius, and the iconic Faraglioni Rocks, the guardians of Capri. Exploring a complex of interconnected sea caves, such as the White Grotto (Grotta Bianca) and the Green Grotto (Grotta Verde), we will revel in crystal-clear waters: ideal for another round of swimming or snorkeling. As we head back to Amalfi, the return journey will offer a magnificent sunset view, concluding our unforgettable exploration of one of the world's most beautiful islands.
