8-Day Capri Yacht Itinerary
Day 1: Naples to Capri
Set sail from Naples or Salerno and enjoy a gentle cruise through the sheltered Bay of Naples. As you approach Capri, the majestic Faraglioni rise from the sea. Your first anchorage is Marina Piccola, the perfect spot to acclimate and admire the coast from your yacht.
Day 2: Circumnavigation of Capri
Spend the day discovering the island. The famous Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) awaits—entry is limited to 30 minutes per yacht, so advance booking is recommended (Charter&Dreams takes care of everything). The light reflecting off the water inside the cave creates an almost supernatural spectacle.
Visit Mitigliano Bay, where a waterfall plunges directly from the cliffs into the sea—perfect for swimming, photos, and relaxation.
Day 3: Positano
Sail three hours to Positano, the jewel of the Amalfi Coast, with its cascading pastel houses. Anchor in Marina Grande or off Spiaggia Grande.
Spend the afternoon snorkeling and swimming in hidden coves between Positano and Praiano, with deep, crystal-clear waters.
Day 4: Ravello and Amalfi
Head to Amalfi or Ravello. Stroll through medieval streets, visit the impressive Cathedral, and enjoy local cuisine at Michelin-starred restaurants like Da Gemma or Sensi. The views from Ravello are spectacular and provide a perfect cultural break between anchorages and swims.
Day 5: Salerno
Anchor in Salerno, a large port with access to shops, markets, and charming cafés. It’s an ideal spot to combine shopping, culture, and relaxation onboard your yacht.
Day 6: Ischia
Explore Monte Epomeo and its volcano, anchoring in Baia di Pontano and enjoying luxury natural spas. Ischia Ponte offers picturesque white houses on volcanic rock, accessible via a historic bridge. Relax in thermal waters and botanical gardens.
Day 7: Procida
Procida welcomes you with its colorful houses reflected in the crystal-clear sea. Snorkel among coral reefs, discover underwater caves, and enjoy local gastronomy. Don’t miss Ristorante Al Postino, famous for fresh lobster and artisanal white wine.
Day 8: Return to Capri
Return to Marina Piccola, Capri, for the final moments of your charter. Say goodbye to the Mediterranean with a private dinner on deck, watching the Faraglioni illuminated at sunset.
