About this experience
In one day you will visit the beauties of the legendary Capri Island and the famous vertical town of the Amalfi coast: Positano.
We leave Sorrento to sail, with a comfortable 38Ft motor boat, along the coast towards Capri or Positano (our captain will advise you which one visit first, taking into account the weather/sea conditions) in about 1 hour.
The hidden bays, grottoes and inlets will be the stage in our tour around Capri island.
Seeing Positano from the sea is a fantastic experience. The peculiar position overlooking the sea, the colorful little houses and the iconic beach seem to be painted in an old picture.
Plan with our captain your journey: free time to swim in Capri and Positano and disembarkation on request in both locations (fees to be paid on site).
Return to Sorrento around 5:00 pm.
