Boat Tours from Sorrento to Capri and Positano

Sail the Amalfi Coast in Style: Discover Capri’s Charm and Positano’s Beauty on a Seamless Journey from Sorrento

Exploring Capri and Positano in one day from the comfort of a private boat is one of the most fulfilling experiences you can enjoy along the Amalfi Coast. With Restart Boat, this journey becomes a refined and customizable adventure where stunning landscapes meet impeccable service. Departing from Sorrento, you’ll cruise through iconic Mediterranean waters, reaching the dramatic cliffs of Capri and the colorful cascade of Positano, all at your own pace, guided by experienced locals who know every inlet, grotto, and coastal highlight worth visiting.

Everything Included in Your Restart Boat Experience

Booking with Restart Boat means enjoying a turn-key luxury experience. Every private boat tour includes a professional skipper, fuel for the entire itinerary, a stocked cooler with soft drinks and prosecco, fresh towels, snorkeling gear, and a high-quality Bluetooth sound system. You can swim in remote bays, stop for lunch in a seaside restaurant, or just enjoy a relaxing cruise—completely on your terms. The team manages every detail so you can immerse yourself in the journey, from the moment you step onboard to your return to Sorrento’s harbor.

 

Reaching the Departure Point and Setting Sail

Your private boat trip from Sorrento begins with personalized service: a member of Restart Boat’s dedicated staff will meet you right at the entrance of your hotel in Sorrento, Massa Lubrense, or nearby locations. From there, you’ll enjoy a comfortable transfer directly to the port, where your private boat and an experienced English-speaking skipper will be waiting to welcome you aboard. With everything arranged in advance, all you need to do is relax and get ready to sail into the stunning waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

 

The Journey: Capri’s Hidden Magic and Positano’s Seaside Charm

The tour typically begins with a full loop around the island of Capri. Along the way, you’ll see its famous natural landmarks: the Faraglioni sea stacks, the White and Green Grottoes, and, time and tide allowing, the legendary Blue Grotto. Your skipper will time the route to optimize sea conditions and sun angles, especially if swimming and photos are part of your plan. After Capri, the boat heads east toward Positano, crossing past the mythical Li Galli Islands. Once in Positano, you can choose to disembark for a stroll or admire the village from the gentle cradle of the water. This itinerary gives you the best of both worlds: Capri’s dramatic rockscapes and Positano’s colorful hillside elegance.

Things to Know Before You Go

For this tour, light preparation will ensure a smooth and enjoyable day. Swimwear, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential. Footwear should be easy to remove, as you’ll likely spend the tour barefoot or in sandals. A camera or waterproof phone case is also a must for capturing views you won’t want to forget. While refreshments are included, you may request a light lunch, a prosecco upgrade, or a special onboard celebration with advance notice. And remember, your itinerary is flexible—just speak with your skipper to adjust stops, swim breaks, or sightseeing points as you go.

  • Great Service

    We have had to cancel our trip to Italy and had paid in full for our boat trip to Isle of Capri. On notifying Aldo he did not hesitate to allow us to put our booking forward to next year. We did a lot of research on who to do our capri trip with and are now certain this is the company to go with. Great customer service and a nice human being, can't wait till next year to meet him.

  • So much fun!

    We were picked up from our hotel in Sorrento and driven down to Marina Grande where our private boat arrived. Had a great time onboard, towels and prosecco provided and plenty of room to relax and sunbathe. Our skipper recommend a great place for lunch on Capri which we both enjoyed. Great weather, fantastic way to see the Sorrento coast and Capri. Thank you!

  • Amazing Experience

    We visited Sorrento in May and decided to rent a private boating experience through Restart Boat tours. Their service was incredible and very professional. Our Captain, Francesco was amazing and took us to all over the island of Capri and we were able to see all of the best sites. We had free time to eat lunch and explore the city of Anacapri. Highly recommend this outstanding company. Thank you for making our honeymoon special - this was the highlight of the trip.
