From a pier in Sorrento you push off into the luminous Tyrrhenian for an eight-hour sweep of some of Italy’s most iconic coastline: the sculpted Faraglioni off Capri, the pastel tiers of Positano that tumble into the sea, and Amalfi’s historic waterfront. Along the way the itinerary folds swimming and snorkeling in glass-clear bays into onshore strolls—fresh seafood in Nerano and bubbles on board punctuate a day that moves easily between sea and village life.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Faraglioni, Arches and Blue Light

The tour passes Capri’s defining rock spires and natural arches—opportunities to sight the Faraglioni Rocks and gaze toward the famed sea grottos that punctuate the island’s coastline.

THE ROUTE

Hidden Bays, Isles and Coastal Secrets

The route threads along the Amalfi Coast and its lesser-seen coves and islets, including the storied Li Galli Isles, with stops that reveal beaches, bays and small islands tucked into the coastline.

THE VILLAGES

Positano, Amalfi and the Taste of Nerano

Shore calls let you step ashore in Positano’s bougainvillea-splashed alleys and Amalfi’s historic center; the itinerary also highlights the fishing village of Nerano, celebrated for its fresh seafood.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day alternates between low-slung, sea-level views from a private boat and short, characterful walks ashore. Mornings can begin with a quiet cruise past cliffs and sea caves, followed by swims in transparent water and midday disembarkations to wander village alleys or visit a seaside promenade. The cadence is deliberate: marine panoramas, a seafood pause in Nerano, and a chance to toast the coastline with Prosecco as the boat slips between coves.
