Discovering the Coast and Islands by Private Boat: A Deep Dive into the Saver 7.50 Walkaround Tour
Imagine gliding smoothly along Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast, with the sun warming your face and the salty breeze in your hair. That’s what you get with the Private Boat Tour on Saver 7.50 from Positano to Capri — a seven-hour journey that combines breathtaking scenery, fascinating caves, and a relaxed pace tailored for up to six people. The journey begins with a pickup service, then you’re aboard a luxurious vessel that promises comfort and style, making it an experience that’s both indulgent and authentic.
What we love most about this tour? First, the chance to see iconic landmarks like the Faraglioni up close, passing beneath their famous arch, and second, the opportunity to explore several of Capri’s best-known sea caves, including the White Grotto and Green Grotto, with an optional visit to the Blue Grotto. The boat’s flexibility offers the perfect mix of guided sights and free time to wander Capri’s charming streets.
A potential consideration is the fuel surcharge of $200, which is extra and not included in the initial price. Also, visiting the Blue Grotto requires an additional fee of €18 per person, and weather can sometimes influence the itinerary, especially if you want to see the Blue Grotto.
This tour is ideal for couples, small groups, or families seeking a personalized, on-the-water experience. It’s especially well-suited for travelers who want to skip crowded tours and enjoy a tailored day with expert guidance, scenic beauty, and some time to explore at your own pace.

Starting from Positano: The Launch Point
Your day begins with a pickup, so you can skip the hassle of finding the port.

We appreciate how the boat’s size and design make it stable and spacious, perfect for photographs and relaxing without feeling crowded.
Itinerary Breakdown: What You’ll See and Experience
Stop 1: White Grotto
First up, you’ll visit the White Grotto — a stunning sea cave with walls that shimmer in brilliant white. The cave’s calcareous deposits create a luminous atmosphere, ideal for photos. The visit is short, around 10 minutes, but memorable. As one reviewer exclaimed, “The White Cave is a sight for the eyes, and the fact that it’s free to visit makes it even better.”
Stop 2: Green Grotto
Next, you’re off to the Green Grotto, where sunlight reflecting off underwater rocks gives the cave its vibrant hue. This natural light show lasts about 10 minutes and is a favorite for its enchanting color. The simplicity of this stop belies how captivating it is; it’s like stepping into a natural aquarium.
Stop 3: The Faraglioni
Passing the Faraglioni rocks is a highlight. These towering formations are so iconic they’ve become symbols of Capri. Passing underneath the arch is a thrill — a tangible connection to the natural grandeur of the island. One reviewer said, “Getting so close to the arches really made us feel like we were part of the scenery.”
Stop 4: Punta Carena Lighthouse
The Punta Carena Lighthouse offers a dramatic backdrop, standing proudly on rugged cliffs. Built in 1867, it remains one of Italy’s most powerful and historic lighthouses. From the boat, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the coastline and perhaps catch a sunset if timing allows.
Optional: Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto is the most famous stop, but it’s optional. Visiting requires transferring to a small rowboat, and an extra €18 per person. Because entry depends on weather conditions, you might find it closed on some days, or crowded. Many find the blue light truly mesmerizing, but it’s a quick visit — about 30 minutes.
Onboard Comforts and Additional Offerings
The boat provides snacks, bottled water, beer, prosecco, and soda, to keep everyone refreshed. You can also use snorkeling equipment, which adds a playful element to your day. The crew, often praised for their friendly and professional attitude, makes sure you’re comfortable and informed. “Marcello was an outstanding captain and guide,” one reviewer raves, emphasizing the importance of a knowledgeable and helpful skipper.
Free Time in Capri
After around 4-5 hours of sightseeing, you’ll have about 2-3 hours to explore Capri. Wander through the charming streets, browse boutique shops, visit Piazzetta, or relax at a seaside café. The flexibility here is a real plus — you’re not just on a bus, but free to soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.
