The Icons: Capri, Positano & Amalfi

The Tyrrhenian Sea glitters under a warm Italian sun, its cobalt waters lapping against the world’s most dramatic coastline. From your yacht’s deck, the view unfolds: the soaring cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula, the scent of lemon groves drifting on the breeze, and the promise of three legendary destinations. This is a concentrated journey into the heart of la dolce vita, a curated exploration of Capri, Positano, and Amalfi, where every moment is steeped in cinematic glamour and authentic coastal life.

  1. DAY 01

    Sorrento Coast

    Your journey begins, cruising from the shadow of Vesuvius along the Sorrentine Peninsula's monumental limestone cliffs. The yacht drops anchor near the ancient Roman ruins of Bagni della Regina Giovanna, a secluded swimming spot framed by a natural stone arch. The air is fragrant with citrus and salt as you settle in for your first aperitivo, the lights of Sorrento beginning to twinkle against the darkening sea.

    • A welcome swim in the emerald rock pool of Bagni della Regina Giovanna.
    • A tender ashore to Marina Grande, Sorrento's authentic fishing harbour.
    • Exploring the historic centre and Piazza Tasso.
    • Watching the sunset over the Bay of Naples from the sun deck.

  2. DAY 02

    Positano

    A short morning cruise reveals one of Italy’s most iconic sights: Positano. A cascade of peach, pink, and terracotta houses tumbles down the cliffside to a vibrant pebble beach. From your anchorage, the view is sublime, capturing the majolica-tiled dome of the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta and the lively energy of Spiaggia Grande. The afternoon is for exploring the town's steep, narrow lanes, a maze of chic boutiques and artisan workshops.

    • Dropping anchor for lunch with a peerless view of the vertical town.
    • Shopping for handmade leather sandals and linen clothing.
    • An early evening aperitivo at Franco's Bar for its sophisticated atmosphere.
    • A tender ride back to the yacht as the town's lights illuminate the cliff.

  3. DAY 03

    Amalfi & Ravello

    The cruise continues east, passing the dramatic Furore Fjord en route to the ancient maritime republic of Amalfi. The town, nestled in a deep ravine, is a treasure trove of history, centred around its magnificent Arab-Norman cathedral. A private car waits to whisk you up the winding roads to Ravello, a serene village perched high above the sea, offering quiet gardens and vast, soul-stirring panoramas from its famous villas.

    • Climbing the steps to the Duomo di Sant'Andrea in Amalfi's main piazza.
    • A private car to Ravello to visit Villa Cimbrone's 'Terrace of Infinity'.
    • Tasting the famous 'delizia al limone' from Pasticceria Pansa, founded in 1830.
    • Discovering the history of handmade paper at the Museo della Carta.

  4. DAY 04

    Li Galli & Capri's South Coast

    Weighing anchor from Amalfi, the yacht charts a course west toward the mythical Li Galli islands, a small archipelago once said to be home to the sirens. After a stop for swimming in the crystalline water, the famous silhouette of Capri appears on the horizon. You approach the island's quieter southern flank, cruising past the iconic Faraglioni rocks to anchor in the sheltered, impossibly blue bay of Marina Piccola.

    • A mid-morning swim and snorkel around the Li Galli islands.
    • The iconic cruise through the arch of the Faraglioni di Mezzo rock.
    • Exploring Grotta Verde (the Green Grotto) by tender.
    • An afternoon of relaxation at anchor in the glamorous bay of Marina Piccola.

  5. DAY 05

    Marina Grande, Capri

    You awaken to the gentle sounds of Capri. An early tender ride positions you perfectly to enter the Grotta Azzurra, the Blue Grotto, where sunlight transforms the cavern into an ethereal blue chamber. There is time for one last Italian ritual: taking the funicular to the Piazzetta for a final espresso and a spot of people-watching, before returning to the yacht for your disembarkation in the bustling Marina Grande.

    • A private visit to the Blue Grotto as it opens.
    • Taking the funicular railway from the marina up to the Piazzetta.
    • A brief stroll along the designer boutiques of Via Camerelle.
    • A final, leisurely breakfast on the aft deck before disembarking.
