Positano Boat Tour by Private Charter
Your own luxury SACS RIB, skipper always included — Capri, hidden coves and the Amalfi Coast, entirely at your pace.
from €1.500
A Positano boat tour is the finest way to see the Amalfi Coast — and the only way to reach its hidden coves, sea grottoes and the island of Capri without the crowds. Strider Amalfi is a private charter aboard a luxury SACS RIB, powered by twin Mercury V10 engines, with a professional skipper always on board.
This is not a rental queue or a shared excursion: the boat is yours for the entire day, for up to eight guests, with a route shaped around what you want to see. Swim where the water turns turquoise, drop anchor for lunch by the sea, and let the captain handle the rest.

The itinerary
Board in Positano
Meet your skipper at the marina, settle in and set off along the coast with Positano's pastel houses behind you.
Li Galli & Nerano
Cruise past the Li Galli islands toward Nerano and Marina del Cantone — calm, clear water perfect for a first swim.
Capri & the Faraglioni
Cross to Capri, slip between the Faraglioni rocks and explore the sea grottoes before the crowds arrive.
Lunch & swim stop
Drop anchor in a quiet bay or stop at a seaside restaurant of your choice for a long lunch on the water.
Amalfi & the Furore Fjord
Sail the Amalfi Coast past Conca dei Marini and the dramatic Furore fjord, with more swim stops along the way.
Golden-hour return
Head back toward Positano in the soft evening light — the coastline at its most beautiful.
What a private Positano boat tour feels like
From the moment you step aboard in Positano, the day belongs to you. There is no fixed group and no timetable to share — just open water, the scent of salt and lemon, and a skipper who knows every cove on the coast. A typical day blends fast, exhilarating runs under the twin Mercury V10s with long, lazy stops to swim, snorkel and sunbathe.
You can keep it close to home — Li Galli, Fornillo and the Amalfi Coast villages — or push further to Capri. If you'd like the full coastline, see our Amalfi Coast boat tour; for the most romantic light of the day, ask about the Amalfi Coast sunset cruise.
From Positano to Capri by boat
Capri sits less than half an hour from Positano by sea, which makes it the natural highlight of any Positano boat tour. You can circle the island, glide between the Faraglioni rocks and reach sea grottoes that the large ferries never see. Because the boat is yours, you choose the timing — arriving early to beat the day-trippers, or lingering at anchor in a quiet bay.
Want this as your main route? We have a dedicated Capri boat tour from Positano built around the island and its grottoes.
The boat, the skipper and life on board
Strider Amalfi runs a single SACS RIB — a maxi-rib that combines the stability of a yacht with the agility of a tender. Twin Mercury V10 400hp engines deliver smooth, confident cruising even in open water, while teak decking, soft seating and shade keep up to eight guests comfortable all day.
Your skipper is always included: a licensed local captain who plans the route, finds the best swim spots and takes care of safety, so you never lift a finger. No boat licence, no experience and no stress required — simply step aboard.
