Private Boat Cruise From Sorrento to Capri Italy and Back
Private Boat Cruise From Sorrento to Capri Italy and Back.
As it was for our drive along the Amalfi Coast, the size of our small group made it possible to hire a private boat and skipper to take use for a boat cruise from Sorrento to the island of Capri of the Amalfi Coast of Italy. It was a gorgeous day for a boat cruise, the sun was shining and the Mediterranean Sea was relatively calm with just a few small waves. We hopped on the boat early and started cruising along the Sorrento coastline exploring the natural beauty as our boat made it's way toward edge of the Amalfi coast and then out to Capri.
Sorrento is a coastal town on the Mediterranean coast of Italy. It is just south of Naples and just around the corner from the Amalfi Coast.
Capri is an island just off the Amalfi Coast on the Mediterranean side of Italy.

Capri Tour - What to see on a 1 day trip
Capri - What we saw on our day trip from Sorrento! Stunning views & more.
My video of what to see in Sorrento is here:
My video of what to see in Positano is here (3m10s):
You can also see my Pompeii tour video here (9m06s):
And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
Here's the Capri video narrative:
Capri is a small Italian island in the Bay of Naples, about 5 kilometers from the mainland.
We visited on a day trip in April, arriving via a fast jet ferry from Sorrento and avoiding the peak summer season, when the island can be overrun with tourists.
Capri is also easy to reach by ferry from Naples.
We arrived at Capri’s main port, Marina Grande, which is on the north coast.
From here you can take boat trips, for example to the Blue Grotto, which is a flooded sea-cave, or you can take a boat to the south coast to see the Faraglioni Rocks.
However, with limited time we decided to make for Capri town, then on to to Anacapri and Monte Solaro.
To get from Marina Grande up to Capri town we took the funicular railway which connects the harbour to the Piazzetta, the town’s main square.
Capri’s two main centres, Capri town and its uphill rival Anacapri, are almost entirely given over to tourism and prices can be high.
Capri is a world-famous beauty spot and it’s also a summer favourite of holidaying VIPs.
The Piazzetta is full of fashionable bars and it’s well worth stopping for an espresso. You might even see one of those VIPs!
The square is dominated by a free-standing clock tower.
Note the tiled clock face.
Capri is well known for its maiolica tiles.
Here they can be seen forming a map of the island.
We boarded a crowded bus to Anacapri and explored the island’s second town.
Walking along Via Giuseppe Orlandi, we saw the Casa Rossa, a brightly coloured house built in the late 1800s by an American colonel. It’s now a museum.
Continuing along this road, we reached Piazza San Nicola and the Church of San Michele, built in Italian baroque style at the turn of the 18th century.
Built on an octagonal Greek cross plan, the church is famous for its maiolica floor decoration depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve. It was completed in 1761.
For an impressive view of the entire floor, you can climb the spiral staircase to the organ loft and look out over the church from above.
More maiolica tiles can be seen nearby, decorating the benches in Piazza Armando Diaz.
The Monte Solaro chairlift is also in Anacapri, and it reaches the top of the 589 meters high mountain within minutes.
From the summit there are picturesque views over the island and across the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.
There’s also a great view of the Faraglioni Rocks from here.
These three spurs of rock rise from the sea within meters of the coast and are one of the favourite destinations for boat tours of the island’s coast.
We hiked down from the summit back to Anacapri. The path is quite uneven in places but the walk is well worth it for the changing panoramas.
On the way down, you can see a series of small bronze plaques. Each represents a stop on the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross.
We headed back to Marina Grande and caught the last ferry back to Sorrento, which left late afternoon.
You can see plenty of this beautiful island in a few hours, but don’t expect to fit everything in.
Next time, maybe we’ll get to the Blue Grotto!

Sorrento Italy a Beautiful Seaside Town
Sorrento Italy a Beautiful Seaside Town
The seaside town of Sorrento was our base for touring around this spectacular part of the Italian Coast. From Sorrento we drove along the Amalfi Coast, through Positano, Ravello and Amalfi and we cruised along the coastline and out to Capri in a private boat. Sorrento is a great spot for doing day trips like these to explore this part of the Italian Coast and the Mediterranean Sea.
Sorrento is a coastal town on the Mediterranean coast of Italy. It is just south of Naples and just around the corner from the Amalfi Coast.
Capri is an island just off the Amalfi Coast on the Mediterranean side of Italy.

Italy: Amalfi Coast Drive from Sorrento to Positano
The Amalfi Drive (formally Strada Statale 163) is the conventional name of a stretch of road which runs along the stretch of the Amalfi Coast between the southern Italian towns of Sorrento and Amalfi. The road was originally built by the Romans. The drive between Salerno, at the southern base of the peninsula, and Positano follows the coast for about 80 km (50 mi).
For the greater part of its route, the road is carved out of the side of the coastal cliffs, giving spectacular views down to the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the other side up to the towering cliffs above. The road passes through the village of Positano, which is built on the side of the hill. Both the village and the whole drive are leading tourist attractions in the area.
The Amalfi coast is an UNESCO-listed landscape lined with small towns precariously perched between mountains & the sea.

Positano Tour - What to see on a day trip.
This mini-documentary showcases a Positano tour as seen on a 1 day trip from Sorrento.
My video of what to see in Sorrento is here ( 6m 16s):
My video of what to see in Capri is here (3m33s):
You can see my Pompeii tour video here (9m06s):
And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
About Positano:
Positano is a beautiful cliffside village on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. The village is hemmed in by mountains and remains physically unspoilt.
We arrived on a very crowded local SITA bus from Sorrento and walked down into the village, enjoying spectacular views as we descended. You can also arrive by road from Salerno or by ferry from Naples. If you’re driving, be aware that the coastal road can get very busy and parking can be a problem.
The majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta can be seen from every corner of the village. This pretty church is often depicted on local ceramic wares and it’s also a popular subject in paintings. And, with its lovely setting right in the centre of Positano, this Church is a favourite destination for weddings on the Amalfi Coast. From the small piazza in front of the church it’s just a short walk down to the popular seafront.
Positano has lots of little stairways connecting steep, narrow streets lined with wisteria-draped hotels, smart boutiques and cafés.
The steep streets mean that getting around on foot can be tiring, especially if it’s hot.
We visited in April, when it’s cooler - and avoided high summer, when Positano is overcrowded with visitors.
The village attracts a lot of tour groups and prices can be higher here than elsewhere on the coast.
This area is famous for its ceramics.
The local earth consists of clay and limestone and is rich in volcanic content, making it ideal for ceramic production.
Here you’ll find lots of shops selling ceramic wares with designs inspired by the colours of the Amalfi Coast: the area is also famous for its lemons and vibrant yellows are prominent.
When you’ve finished with the shops, why not take a look at
the “Grotta Fornillo”, a roadside cave on the edge of Positano.
This miniature village is “Il Presepe di Positano”, or “the Nativity of Positano”.
At the bottom of the village is a popular pebble beach, the Spiaggia Grande.
At 300 meters long, the beach is one of the longest on the Amalfi Coast.
If you fancy exploring further afield, you can catch a small “Sea Taxi boat from here to one of the other nearby bays.
From this this beach you can some of the watch towers that have guarded the stunning Amalfi coast against raiders for hundreds of years.
The raiders may have gone, but Positano has a special beauty that will most likely make you want to come back.
