Conca dei Marini

The picturesque bay of Conca dei Marini opens into panoramic views of Furore, Praiano, and the islands of Li Galli and Capri, with a glimpse of the iconic Faraglioni Rocks. Here, you’ll stop near the Runghetiello Grotto, a charming little sea cave with a tiny beach — perfect for swimming or snorkeling. During the break, enjoy fresh fruit served on board with a selection of drinks, including prosecco, Limoncello, beer, and soft drinks.

3

Fiordo Di Furore

Nearby lies the dramatic Furore Fjord, Italy’s only natural fjord. Towering cliffs surround a narrow inlet, over which stretches a high bridge — the site of the international diving competition MarMeeting, where athletes from around the world plunge 28 meters into the sea below each July.

4

Praiano

Continuing along the coast, the boat cruises past the quiet village of Praiano, offering a close look at the Africana Grotto. Inside this larger sea cave, the water takes on an intense blue hue thanks to a unique play of light and underwater rock.

5

Positano

As you cruise past Capo Sottile toward Positano, you’ll marvel at its colorful cliffside homes and beautiful beaches. A stop at La Porta, a peaceful, boat-access-only beach, offers another chance to swim or snorkel in uncrowded waters. During this break, relax and enjoy fresh fruit along with a variety of drinks, including prosecco, Limoncello, beer, and sodas.
