Private Boat Tour: Amalfi Coast & Capri by Jeanneau Leader

The boat has a shower, refrigerator and cabin so you're not just passing through. You're living on the water.

A private boat tour departing from Amalfi, Praiano, Positano, Minori or Maiori, sailing the Amalfi Coast and around Capri with a skipper, lasting seven hours. You choose which stops to visit: the Emerald Grotto, Praiano's beaches, Li Galli islets, Positano, and Capri's White Grotto, Faraglioni and Green Cave. The boat includes a cabin, shower, refrigerator, towels, soft drinks and prosecco. Blue Grotto and Emerald Grotto entry tickets are separate, as is the Capri landing fee if you want to step ashore.

The experience

How do you see the Amalfi Coast without fighting crowds on a tour bus? You rent the boat. The Jeanneau Leader departs in the morning from whichever port works for you (Amalfi, Praiano, Positano, Minori or Maiori), and the skipper takes you where you want to go. The route traces the cliffs and coves that make this coastline famous: you'll pass the Borgo dei Pescatori at Marina di Conca, the Furore Fjord, and the beaches around Praiano, each one a stop only if you choose it.

The boat itself changes what the day feels like. You have a cabin to retreat into, a shower to rinse off salt water, a refrigerator stocked with soft drinks and a bottle of prosecco, and towels waiting. The skipper handles the navigation and the engine. You handle the itinerary. Some travelers stop at the Emerald Grotto (entry ticket separate) to see the stalactites and the water's strange green light. Others swim at Li Galli, the islets off Positano where the water is clear enough to see the bottom. You can anchor near Positano's Marina Grande or eat lunch at a seaside restaurant in one of the coves. The boat can wait while you do.

Capri fills the second half of the day. From the water you see the White Grotto, the Faraglioni rocks, Villa Malaparte perched on its narrow promontory, and the Green Cave. If you want to land and walk the island, there's a disembarkation fee. If you'd rather stay on the boat and watch the coastline pass, that's the choice too. The Blue Grotto entrance is not included in the tour price, and neither is the Emerald Grotto, so you decide which grottoes are worth the extra ticket.
