The engine notes its readiness at dawn and the harbor exhales—the Amalfi quay slipping behind you while pastel houses stack themselves on the cliffs like postcards. Onboard a Capellicap19, you have the unusual freedom of being both captain and tourist: plotting the day by mood rather than schedule, cutting toward the Faraglioni off Capri or drifting into a tiny cove where the only sounds are water lapping the hull and the gulls debating overhead.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine notes its readiness at dawn and the harbor exhales—the Amalfi quay slipping behind you while pastel houses stack themselves on the cliffs like postcards. Onboard a Capellicap19, you have the unusual freedom of being both captain and tourist: plotting the day by mood rather than schedule, cutting toward the Faraglioni off Capri or drifting into a tiny cove where the only sounds are water lapping the hull and the gulls debating overhead.
This coastline has been moving people for millennia. The Republic of Amalfi once ran a Mediterranean navy and merchant fleet; today the same cliffs that sheltered sailors now stage villas and lemon groves. Geologically the coast is a collision story—limestone cliffs carved by fractures and sea, producing sea caves, natural arches and that dramatic verticalism that makes towns like Positano read like a painter's study from a distance.
Culture arrives on the water as easily as the sea breeze: fishermen mending nets, trattorie with terraces that lean into the view, and seafood caught hours earlier. Locals respect the sea; you will, too. The shoreline is busy and fragile—anchor in approved bays, take care with mooring lines, and follow the local rhythms. Expect to trade the anonymity of a mass tour for a plan you can alter mid-day: a long swim in Li Galli's turquoise pockets, a drift around Capri's Faraglioni stacks, or a stop at Nerano for spaghetti alle vongole at a beachside table.
Practicality keeps the day comfortable. This rental is structured as an eight-hour self-drive experience; no license is required for the Capellicap19, but the skipper briefing is thorough and should be absorbed. Bring good sunscreen, a light dry bag, and shoes with grip for stepping onto rocky shores. Water and refreshments are available locally but pack for the boat; sea conditions change, and beaches can be exposed.
Timing matters: depart early to skirt the main boat traffic near Amalfi and Capri, and plan your swim stops for mid-morning or late afternoon when the light and water temperature are kindest. If you want to enter the Blue Grotto on Capri, factor in queues and an extra fee; if not, the cliff-side swim spots often feel like your own private stretch of sea.
Safety is straightforward: adhere to speed limits in marked zones, anchor only where allowed, and let the operator know your intended route. For anyone who loves shoreline geology, bright-water swimming, and steering a small boat with freedom, this is a day that hands back the coast to you, one cove at a time.
No; the Capellicap19 is available without a license but you will receive a safety briefing and basic handling instructions before departure.
Visits to the Blue Grotto are subject to sea conditions, time and an extra local fee; there can be queues so allocate time if this is a priority.
No; anchoring is restricted in some marine-protected areas and near certain beaches—follow the operator's guidance and local signage to avoid fines and environmental damage.
Some bookings include basic amenities, but it’s best to bring water, snacks or arrange a lunch stop at places like Nerano for full-service dining.
The operator cancels for unsafe sea conditions; full refunds are available if canceled at least 24 hours before departure or if weather prevents sailing.
Yes, but infants must sit on an adult's lap and extra caution is advised when moving on deck; lifejackets are provided.
