Wonderful day trip

Matthew Dunn, 28 June 2022

Our driver picked us up from a central location in Positano and took us to the Port in Sorrento where we checked in and met our boat and crew around 10:30. We ended up with a party of nine people which felt just perfect for the size of a boat. There was space on the sundeck and at the aft of the boat to enjoy the wall-to-wall sunshine. Take note !! there is a limited shade available on the boat so bring your sun hat and sun cream. We really enjoyed our young host Luciano and he was great fun keeping us in order and showing us the sites as we rounded the island of Capri . We had a glass of Prosecco and light snacks on route to Capri. We had time for a swim in the ocean before lunch and when we got off the boat at Capri harbor around 12:30 we had just over five hours free time on the island. All our group used a private bus to go up to Ana Capri and then on to Capri before coming back down to the port … this works really well. The two guys on the crew (Lu and ‘Jack Sparrow’) gave us fresh sandwiches as we got off the boat (so you don’t need to buy lunch in Capri if you don’t want to.). But we enjoyed a great lunch at a restaurant with an unrivaled view up in AnaCapri . Bus then took us down to Capri. After time exploring old Capri and the amazing views at Augustus Gardens, window shopping and the plentiful cafés we left the island around 5:40 PM to come back to Sorrento. The whole day was great fun with a great crew and we made some new friends. Highly recommend it. (Don’t forget your sun hat and sunscreen)
