The best-kept secret of cruise passengers arriving in Salerno: skip the bus, board a private boat, and get the whole Amalfi Coast plus Capri in one day. This is our most scenic route.
Depart from Marina d'Arechi — Salerno's modern turistic port with easy cruise-terminal access. Head west along the Amalfi Coast past Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Amalfi, Ravello, Praiano, Positano. Every one of those names is worth a day on its own; today you see them all from the water.
Beyond Positano, the route opens and you cross to Capri — about 6 nautical miles. Full circumnavigation of the island: Faraglioni, Natural Arch, Blue Grotto (if conditions allow), Marina Piccola.
Swim stop, lunch at a Capri restaurant with free island access, free time in the Piazzetta, then return along the same coast with the afternoon sun painting Amalfi gold.
Insider tip: perfect for cruise-ship passengers.
If you're arriving at Salerno on a cruise, this is the optimal shore excursion — full Amalfi Coast + full Capri in one day, private boat, hotel/port pickup and drop-off, back in time for re-boarding. No crowded bus tours, no fighting for a seat at a viewpoint.
Antonio grew up on these waters. Born into a family of fishermen in Sorrento, he's been captaining charters around Capri, Positano, and the Amalfi Coast for over fifteen years. He holds a professional Italian merchant marine license and speaks English, Italian, and conversational Spanish.
When he's not at the helm, Antonio trains and vets every captain in The Charter Pro network. Every boat we connect you with is crewed by someone Antonio would personally trust with his own family.
