Boat Tour Sorrento: Private Charter with Skipper
Your own luxury SACS RIB and a professional skipper for a private day across Capri, Positano and the Amalfi Coast.
from €1.500
A boat tour from Sorrento is the most beautiful way to see this stretch of coast — and the most relaxing when someone else is at the helm. Strider Amalfi is a private charter: you have the whole boat, a professional skipper and a day shaped entirely around you.
From the marina we can reach Capri and its Faraglioni, the pastel houses of Positano, hidden swimming coves and the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, all at your own pace. No fixed groups, no rush, no crowds — just your party of up to eight guests, the open sea and the places you most want to see.

The itinerary
Departure from Sorrento
Board at the marina, meet your skipper and set the route for the day over the Bay of Naples.
Punta Campanella & Bay of Ieranto
Cruise the protected tip of the peninsula, with clear water and a first swim stop in a sheltered cove.
Capri & the Faraglioni
Round the famous rock stacks, glide past the sea caves and the Lover's Arch, then anchor for a swim.
Lunch & swim stop
Drop anchor in a quiet bay for lunch on board or ashore, then time in the water away from the crowds.
Positano & the Amalfi cliffs
Head south to admire Positano's pastel houses and the dramatic coastline from the best possible angle.
Return to Sorrento
A relaxed cruise back along the coast, arriving in Sorrento in time for the golden evening light.
Why book a private boat tour from Sorrento
Most boat tour options from Sorrento put you on a shared vessel with a fixed route and a packed timetable. Strider Amalfi works differently. We run a single premium SACS RIB on a fully private charter basis, so the boat — and the day — belongs to one party at a time. A professional skipper is always included, handling navigation, the best anchorages and the timing while you simply enjoy the sea. Whether you want a calm cruise, plenty of swim stops or a quick sprint across to the islands, the day is built entirely around you.
Where a day from Sorrento can take you
Sorrento sits at the centre of everything. In a single day you can cross to Capri for the Faraglioni and its sea caves — see our Sorrento to Capri by boat route — or turn south for Positano and the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. Prefer a slower rhythm? We anchor in quiet coves around Punta Campanella and the Bay of Ieranto for swimming and snorkelling. You can also combine highlights into one itinerary, like a morning in Capri and an afternoon along the Positano coastline.
The boat: a SACS RIB built for the open coast
You travel on a SACS rigid inflatable powered by twin Mercury V10 400hp engines: stable in open water, quick between destinations and comfortable for a full day aboard. Teak deck, sun pads and shaded seating make it easy to relax between stops, while the speed means less time in transit and more time in the water. The boat hosts up to 8 guests, keeping the experience spacious and genuinely private.

Frequently asked
How much does a boat tour from Sorrento cost?
A full private day on Strider Amalfi starts at €1,500 with fuel excluded, skipper and the whole boat included for up to eight guests. Weekend departures add €250 and August adds €500. Multi-day packages start at €7,499.
Is the boat private or shared?
Every tour is fully private. You charter the entire SACS RIB for your group of up to eight guests — there are never other passengers, fixed groups or a shared timetable. The day and the route belong to you alone.
Is a skipper included in the price?
Yes. A professional skipper is included on every departure and is never optional. They handle navigation, anchoring and timing, suggest the best coves and swim stops, and let you relax completely. This is a captained charter, not a bareboat rental.
Can I reach Capri and Positano in one day?
Easily. Sorrento sits between the islands and the Amalfi Coast, so a single day can take in Capri's Faraglioni and Positano, with swim stops along the way. Your skipper plans the timing around sea conditions and what you most want to see.
How many people can come on board?
The boat comfortably hosts up to eight guests, which keeps the experience spacious and relaxed. It suits families, groups of friends or couples wanting a private day. Tell us your group size when booking and we'll plan space and seating accordingly.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If conditions are unsafe on your date, we don't sail. You can reschedule to another available day or receive a refund. Your skipper monitors the forecast closely and always prioritises comfort and safety over keeping to a fixed plan.
