Full description

Hire a private boat with a local captain and take in the top sights of the Amalfi Coast on a fun and relaxed 6-hour excursion. Stop for a swim in different bays and lagoons, explore caves along the coast, and cruise to the island of Capri. Start out in Amalfi and head leisurely along the coastline past Furore, Conca dei Marini, and Praiano. Marvel at the scenic beauty of the world-famous Amalfi Coast! Cruise past Positano and to the private islands of Li Galli, once owned by the famous Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nuryev. A highlight now is the underwater nature preserve. Nerano is an idyllic fishing town with a lovely beach, where the captain will stop so you can enjoy the view and swim in the crystal-clear water. The restaurants in Nerano are well known for dishes that feature fresh seafood and local produce. From Nerano your captain will continue on to Punto Campanella, the point where the Amalfi Coast ends and the Sorrento Coast begins, before you head to Capri. Cruise around the entire island of Capri, exploring caves and swimming in crystal-clear bays. Marvel at the Blue, Green, and White grottoes. Your captain will take the boat through Capri’s iconic faraglioni rock formations. Pass by the historic lighthouse, Casa Malaparte, Marina Piccola, and Marina Grande. Take some time to explore the island on foot. Go shopping, tour villas, and don’t forget to try the gelato! At the end of a satisfying day you’ll head back to Salerno or your final destination as the sun sets behind the island.

A fantastic experience! We were a group of 5 girls going on this boat excursion. The captain knew the area very well and took us to the best places along the Amalfi coast and we get to see the front of Capri island. He listened to our wishes and took us where we wanted to go. He was happy to help with taking pictures of us in front of all the nice places. He was also very good in english and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this experience and it was totally worth the money!

The boat ride to Capri was everything we hoped for and more

Our boat Commander/Captain did a perfect job taking us to the best spots along the coast of Amalfi to Capri and explained the importance of them. He had great knowledge of the area, as a local resident. He also made us feel very comfortable and safe during our excursion. We traveled all over Italy and this part of our trip was one of the best parts, if not the best. We would love to come back and have Francesco take us out again. He was very personable. I would recommend anyone and everyone to request his services.

Best day on Amalfi coast!

We upgraded to a speed boat, which we do not regret. It was a wonderful day. We decided not to go to Capri, but instead spend our day along the Amalfi coast, occasionally stopping for a swim. We entered the fiord of Furore, and a cave. We stopped for lunch and a wonderful little beach. The time just went by so quickly!Aguirre was an awesome driver and host!Best day on the coast, and we didn't have to fight any crowds of tourists!
