About this tour
Self-drive a rigid inflatable boat from Sorrento along the Amalfi Coast for eight hours, exploring Positano's coloured cliffs and Capri's hidden coves at your own pace. You handle the helm while the boat's solid reputation for maintained vessels and knowledgeable staff keeps things straightforward. Bring your own fuel and either skipper the boat yourself or hire one separately. Includes snorkelling gear and a cooler to stash provisions.
Highlights
- Pilot your own RIB between Sorrento and Capri
- Anchor off Positano's pastel-stacked villages
- Snorkel in crystal water away from crowds
- Bluetooth stereo and ice box on board
- Eight-hour window to set your own itinerary
What to expect
You'll collect the boat fully fuelled (pay separately), do a quick safety briefing, then point it toward the Sorrentine Peninsula. The RIB handles well in moderate seas; expect a 30–40 minute run to Positano if conditions are calm. Drop anchor in sheltered spots, swim and snorkel, then cruise on to Capri. The boat comes rigged with music and cold storage. Weather and sea state dictate your route—some days you'll reach the Blue Grotto, others you'll stay closer to shore. Return by your agreed time.
Good to know
Fuel costs extra and can be substantial for eight hours—budget accordingly. You need boating experience or hire a skipper separately. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; no stroller storage. Not suitable if you have heart or mobility concerns. Public transport links nearby if you need it.
