Capri and Positano in One Day: Boat Tour from Castellammare di Stabia

Set off on the CAPRI POSITANO BOAT TOUR, an eight-hour group cruise that links two of the Amalfi Coast’s most magnetic destinations in a single day. Departing from Castellammare di Stabia o Agerola (o su richiesta)tttt, the route threads along the Sorrentine coastline, past sheer limestone cliffs and coastal villas, before reaching the cobalt waters around Capri and the vertical pastel houses of Positano. The boat navigates close to Capri’s celebrated coastal features: the Faraglioni sea stacks, the Arco Naturale and the cavernous Grotta Bianca and Grotta Verde. These formations are carved from calcarenite and limestone; sunlight filtering into caverns paints the water in electric blues and greens. On the approach you can also spot the Villa di Curzio Malaparte and ruins near Punta Campanella and the remains of the Villa Romana della Regina Giovanna at Capo di Sorrento—archaeological notes that anchor the coastline to Roman and modern histories. The itinerary balances cruising, swimming stops, and optional landings. Typical timing: embark at 8:15 from Castellammare di Stabia porto, a morning stop to swim near Capri with the chance to be tendered ashore at Marina Piccola, then a midday transit toward Positano with a two-hour coastal stay for beach time or village exploration. The return hugs the Amalfi coastline past the Baia di Jeranto, the islets Li Galli and the tiny islet of Vetara before arrival back at Castellammare at about 18:30. This tour works well for travelers short on time who still want an intimate look at both Capri’s geology and Positano’s vertical streets. Expect group dynamics—the operator runs semi-private excursions and provides an onboard refreshment.
