Which are the most exclusive cruise experiences available from Positano?

The most exclusive choices are the full-day private charters with a dedicated skipper. The Amalfi Coast Private Boat Tour: Luxury Excursion from Positano, Praiano, or Amalfi is the most reviewed of these at 5.0, and the Capri Private Boat Tour from Positano/Praiano: Caves, Faraglioni & Swimming runs eight hours with swim stops built in.

Which cruises suit luxury visitors who want to avoid crowds?

Private charters are the answer to crowd avoidance: you leave from Positano on your own schedule and can reach the hidden coves and grottos before the larger tour boats arrive. A full-day private tour down the coast gives you the freedom to anchor off quiet swimming spots, while an evening sunset cruise keeps you on the water when the day-trippers.

About Positano

Positano's amphitheatre of pastel houses drops straight into water so clear that the boat is the only sensible way to see it. A private cruiser lets you slip past the crowded ferry queues and anchor wherever the light is best, whether that means a full day down the coast on the 7-Hour Amalfi Coast Boat Tour: Positano to Amalfi or a late-afternoon glass of Prosecco on the Private Sunset Cruise with Prosecco Onboard.

Frequently asked questions

A private tour means the boat and skipper are yours for the duration, so the route, swimming stops and pace are set around your group rather than a shared timetable. VIP access options go further, adding extras such as upgraded vessels, onboard drinks service or flexible departure points along the coast.
