Charter a Classic Gozzo 850 for a private day on the water from Sorrento. Cruise Capri's shoreline caves and rock stacks, swim where the water is clear, then continue along the coast to Positano for time ashore among the cliffside houses.
After pickup you board in Sorrento and cross the Gulf of Naples toward Capri. From the water you pass limestone caves, the Faraglioni stacks, Punta Carena lighthouse and Marina Piccola, with swim stops when conditions allow.
The afternoon continues toward Positano past the Li Galli islands. Ashore you can walk the steep lanes and waterfront before the return cruise to Sorrento. The day stays private to your party, so swim timing and free time ashore can flex with the sea and your preferences.
Capri rises from the Bay of Naples with sheer cliffs, sea caves and clear water that is best seen from a small boat. Positano sits further east on the Amalfi Coast, where pastel houses step down to a busy beachfront.
Sorrento is a practical base on the southern rim of the bay. Hotel pickup keeps the morning simple before you reach the marina and cast off for the island and coast day.
No boating experience is needed. A professional skipper handles navigation, docking and reading the conditions while you enjoy the ride.
You should be comfortable boarding a gozzo and walking short distances on uneven streets in Positano. Infants can sit on laps; a stroller is workable for flatter stretches ashore.
This is a private Classic Gozzo 850 charter, so the boat is yours for the day rather than a shared timetable. Capri shoreline highlights and a Positano stop sit in one continuous route without ferry tickets to organise.
Hotel pickup in the Sorrento area and a skipper who can adjust swim stops to the sea keep the day practical from start to finish. You set the mood of the cruise within a clear Capri and Positano outline.
You are collected from your hotel in the Sorrento area and taken to the departure port. After a short welcome on board the Classic Gozzo 850, the skipper briefs the day and you cast off into the Bay of Naples.
The early stretch is a chance to settle on deck, feel the boat's pace and watch the Sorrento shoreline fall behind as you head toward Capri.
Around Capri you cruise past the White Grotto's pale limestone entrance, the Faraglioni rock stacks and Punta Carena lighthouse on its rocky headland. Where the water is calm, the skipper pauses for swimming or photos.
Marina Piccola offers a quieter waterfront corner of the island for a swim stop when conditions allow, before you continue along the cliffs toward the Natural Arch and the run east.
Leaving Capri, you follow the Amalfi Coast toward Positano, passing the Li Galli islands on the way. In Positano you have free time to walk the steep lanes, browse shops or simply watch the beachfront from above.
When free time ends you board again for the cruise back to Sorrento, with the cliffs and towns on your beam as the private day winds down at the marina.
This private charter includes hotel pickup in the Sorrento area. The team collects you and takes you to the departure port for boarding the Classic Gozzo 850.
Confirm your hotel address when you book so the shuttle timing stays clear. If you are not staying in a hotel, ask the team for the meeting point that fits your base before departure day.
Yes. The Classic Gozzo 850 is chartered for your party only for the day, so you do not share the boat with other travellers.
That means swim stops, photo pauses and time ashore in Positano can flex with your group within the overall Capri and Positano outline.
You are collected from your hotel in the Sorrento area and taken by shuttle to the departure port for boarding.
Share your hotel details when you book so the team can confirm pickup timing. If you are not in a hotel, ask for the best meeting point for your base.
Plan for about seven hours from boarding through the return to Sorrento, including Capri coastline time and a Positano stop.
Exact timings can shift slightly with sea conditions and how long you spend swimming or ashore, so treat the schedule as a paced outline.
You sail on a Classic Gozzo 850, a traditional Sorrento-style open boat with comfortable deck space for coastal cruising and swim stops.
A professional skipper handles the vessel throughout; you are there to enjoy the ride, swim when conditions allow, and explore ashore.
The Blue Grotto is optional and not guaranteed. Entry is by small local rowboats when sea and cave conditions allow, and admission is paid on site.
Tell your skipper if you want to try; they will advise on the day whether access looks workable.
Lunch is not included. Use free time in Positano for a cafe or restaurant, or bring light snacks for the boat.
Drinks on board may be available depending on the day; a full meal is something you arrange ashore so everyone can choose their own pace.
No boating experience is needed. A professional skipper handles navigation, docking and reading the sea throughout the day while you enjoy the cruise.
You only need to be comfortable stepping aboard and moving carefully on deck, plus walking short distances on uneven streets once you go ashore. Sensible footwear helps after you leave the marina.
Yes, families are welcome on this private charter. Infants typically sit on laps, and a stroller can work for flatter stretches ashore.
Positano has steep lanes and steps, so be ready to carry little ones where wheels are impractical.
The team may adjust the route, shorten exposed stretches or favour more sheltered swim spots if conditions demand it.
If the day cannot run safely, the team will be in touch about rescheduling so you are not left guessing on the morning of departure.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, a light layer, non-slip shoes for boarding and comfortable shoes for Positano.
A water bottle and card or cash for lunch ashore cover most needs for a full Capri and Positano day on the water.
