The private boat rental, captain's guidance throughout the day, and swimming stops at multiple locations. Town exploration time in Capri and Positano is included, but meals and entrance fees (if any) are separate.

Can I swim during the tour?

Yes—multiple swimming stops are built into the itinerary in crystal-clear waters around Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Bring swimwear and a towel.

About this activity

Explore the Amalfi Coast's most iconic destinations—Capri and Positano—on a private boat with a local captain who knows the hidden sea caves and secluded bays that larger tours miss. This full-day excursion combines guided coastal cruising with free time to explore charming town centers and swim in pristine Mediterranean waters.

Spend a full day exploring some of the most beautiful locations in the Gulf of Naples. Avoid the crowds and enjoy more time to admire caves and bays that can only be reached by boat.

Your captain will be your guide throughout the day, assisting you with anything you may need. You will have free time to visit the centers of Capri and Positano, as well as the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Amalfi Coast and Capri.

Insider tips

★Bring reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after each swim; the sun reflects intensely off the water
★Pack a light lunch or snacks—while you'll have free time in towns, dining can be pricey; pick quieter spots away from the main piazza
★Wear water shoes or bring flip-flops for rocky entry points and boat boarding
★Ask your captain about optimal swimming spots based on sea conditions that day

our captain Sofia had so many stories and dolphins riding the bow for ages was the highlight ... Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and got loads of photos, and for our anniversary. Would book again no question.

our captain Carla was brilliant and jumping off the back into clear water was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar boat trip we tried in Porto.

our captain Carla was brilliant and dolphins riding the bow for ages was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Booked it for my birthday, and handy if youre short on time, and about 5 hours on the water. Would book again no question.
