Two Islands, One Day: Private Boat Runs from Positano to Ischia or Procida.
From Positano’s pier, this full-day private excursion threads the Amalfi Coast’s vertical cliffs and blue-open sea to drop you at one hand-picked island—either Ischia, the ‘Green Island’ with volcanic hot springs and the Aragonese Castle, or Procida, the compact colorful island crowned by Terra Murata. The day blends on-board cruising, snorkeling in crystalline water, a lunch stop and time ashore to explore alleys and viewpoints guided by an experienced captain.

Outing Highlights
Ischia — volcanic landscapes, hot springs and seaside alleys
Ischia’s green, volcanic profile and coastal attractions—including the Aragonese Castle and ancient natural hot springs—make it a classic single-island option for a full-day cruise from Positano, with time to swim and stroll the town.
Procida — colorful harbors, bays and Terra Murata
Procida delivers compact charm: bays, inlets and the medieval village of Terra Murata with its abbey, all viewable by boat with opportunities to land and wander the island’s painted streets.
On-board rhythm — snorkeling, lunch and a sunset return
The private boat day includes dedicated swim/snorkel stops in clear water, a pause ashore for lunch, and a late-afternoon return to Positano to catch the sunset over the vertical city.
