Private Ischia Boat Tour from Positano: Full Day Trip
Description
Embark on an unforgettable journey to Ischia! After about an hour and a half at sea, you’ll arrive on the island, greeted by the majestic Aragonese Castle, a symbol of Ischia’s rich history and charm. The island is larger than Capri, so one day isn’t enough to explore it all—but it’s perfect for a taste of some of its six enchanting towns. Don’t miss the Giardini della Mortella, one of Italy’s most important botanical gardens, home to over 1,000 rare and exotic plants. From Ischia Porto, enjoy a pleasant stroll to the Castle and let yourself be mesmerized by its breathtaking beauty. And how about a relaxing break in a thermal spa? Sitting atop an ancient magmatic chamber, Ischia’s natural hot springs bubble up from the earth. Unique spots like Sorgeto Bay let you soak in warm water that mingles with the sea—a truly magical experience. Every year, visitors flock here for rejuvenating and therapeutic moments unlike anywhere else.

Itinerary
Set sail from Positano and be enchanted by the breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast as you begin your unforgettable tour to Capri.
Viewed from the sea, Fornillo beach appears as a small bay nestled between the cliffs of Positano: clear waters, seabeds that fade from turquoise to deep blue and pastel-colored houses that gently descend towards the shore, creating an intimate and suggestive setting.
The beach of Tordigliano is a long wild expanse of pebbles and sand, accessible only by sea or by scenic paths: crystal clear waters, unspoilt nature and high cliffs behind make it one of the most authentic and suggestive beaches of the Amalfi Coast.
Approaching by sea, the Crapolla fjord reveals itself as a narrow and wild inlet, nestled between high rock walls: deep and clear waters, absolute silence and unspoilt nature give one of the most authentic and secret corners of the Sorrento peninsula.
Viewed from the sea, Punta Campanella appears majestic and wild, with high cliffs overlooking the water and the Listing of the lighthouse that marks the meeting between the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno, offering spectacular views and a timeless atmosphere.
Discover the beauties of the Sorrentine coastline as the ruins of the roman villas located along the coast and the various fishermen villages. You will have an authentic experience with us in pure Mediterranean style.
Enjoy a scenic sail gliding across crystal-clear waters while admiring breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius rising majestically on the horizon and the dramatic tuff cliffs of the Sorrento Coast, sculpted by time and framed by the deep blue of the Mediterranean.
As you approach Ischia, the unmistakable silhouette of the Aragonese Castle comes into view, rising majestically from the sea — a timeless icon that tells centuries of history and sets the stage for your island adventure.
Sail past the lively San Pietro Beach, where the shoreline comes alive with vibrant colors, charming seaside cafés, and the joyful rhythm of island life reflected in the crystal-clear waters.
Arrive at the enchanting San Montano Bay, a hidden gem where the sparkling sea gently embraces the rolling, verdant hills of Ischia, creating a serene haven of natural beauty and tranquility.
Continue your journey to Punta Imperatore, a dramatic headland rising boldly from the sea, where rugged cliffs meet the endless horizon, offering breathtaking views and a sense of untamed beauty.
Discover the natural hot springs of Sorgeto, where warm, mineral-rich waters bubble directly from the rocks into the sea, creating a unique and relaxing thermal experience surrounded by dramatic cliffs and stunning coastal views
Next, arrive at Sant’Angelo, a charming and elegant village where pastel-colored houses seem to float on the water, perfectly mirrored in the sea, creating a picture-perfect scene of timeless beauty.
Continue your tour around the island to the picturesque Cartaromana Bay, a scenic haven where you can savor delicious Mediterranean dishes while soaking in the sun, sea, and breathtaking coastal views.
Enjoy one final refreshing dip in the sparkling waters of Ischia before setting sail back to Sorrento, carrying unforgettable memories of your island adventure.

Excellent Capri boat tour — highly recommended. We had a wonderful boat tour around the coast of Capri, and our driver was outstanding from start to finish. He gave us a beautiful, relaxed tour of the whole coastline and made the experience feel special without ever making us feel rushed or stressed about the schedule. One of the biggest reasons I appreciated him was how accommodating he was with my 76-year-old mother, who has mobility issues. He was patient, thoughtful, and made sure she was comfortable throughout the day. That meant a lot to our family. He also spoke excellent English, explained things clearly, and had a very calm, professional manner. You could tell he is a true professional mariner, not just someone driving a boat. He made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed, professional, and memorable Capri boat experience.
Absolutely great experience. We were picked up at our hotel in Sorrento and driven to the port where we boarded an amazing boat that was nicer than the one I had signed up for. The crew recommended a great itinerary for Ischia including a stop at a natural hot springs, a great lunch with a view of the Argonne castle. Would highly recommend this group for future tours.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you had an exceptional experience with us. It sounds like you enjoyed the extra touches, like the crew's local recommendations. Ischia's natural beauty is hard to beat, and we're glad you got to soak it all in. Grazie mille for choosing us for your tour!
This was AWESOME!! Our tour guide was Nicholas and he was great!! We took a full day trip to Positano and he took us to different spots around the Sea to tan and hangout on the boat!! He was so easy to contact and I HIGHLY recommend this! We have 9 people and it was perfect to tan and enjoy the sun (and prosecco!)😊
Hi Shea, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on board with Nicola, he had a lovely day too! We truly hope to meet you again in the future!
Had a tour with Giovanni Panico - he was truly incredible!!! He made the day so magical, was an excellent guide, and extremely pleasant and fun! We will be requesting him again and again! He is the absolute BEST!
Thank you so much for sharing this! We will pass your kind words to Captain Giovanni right away! He loves showing all the hidden spots and making everyone feel like family. See you soon onboard!
Our tour with Positano boat tours was nothing short of perfect. We were picked up from our cruise port in a comfortable and private Mercedes van and drove a short way to the marina where our boat departed. We were greeted by our captains Giovanni and Nicola who made our tour fully customizable. We appreciated Giovannis honesty when it came down to recommendations; he was completely transparent about what is worth seeing and what would be a disappointment or tourist trap. After visiting Amalfi, they took us to a restaurant with delicious food and hospitable service. We truly felt they gave us VIP treatment from start to finish and appreciate their gracious hospitality! If you’re looking for a fully customized boat tour don’t hesitate to book with Positano Boat Tours, you won’t regret it!
Thank you so much! We will pass your lovely words to Captains Giovanni and Nicola; they love making everyone feel like family. We can't wait to welcome you back on board!
We booked this private tour from Positano to Ischia, and it was the best experience of our vacation! The boat was spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. The views during the cruise were breathtaking. We had time to explore the area and then enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear waters, especially in front of the ancient Aragonese Castle—a magical experience. The skipper was exceptional: attentive, professional, and made us feel at home, even letting us choose our own music. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking luxury, relaxation, and spectacular views. A true paradise!

The tour exceeded our expectations. Our skipper Giuseppe was great and knew the area well and made sure we had an amazing honeymoon trip. Ischia was one of our favorite stops and we had plenty of time to explore the island and tour the castle which I highly recommend doing.

Every year we come to Sorrento and book our boat trip with Restart because they always make our boat tour experience so memorable. The captain/drivers are always so knowledgeable and friendly, taking you to special spots for beautiful scenery and photo opportunities. You can have a glass of fizz, beer or soft drinks and snacks whilst on the boat. I recommend to this company to friends, family and clients for their trips to the Amalfi Coast because it will take your holiday from a 10 to an 11! Shoutout to the wonder Giuseppe for our tour yesterday to Ischia (highly recommend to anyone that wants to visit this gem of an Italian island that isn’t too busy…yet!) Plus we also saw dolphins on our journey out 🥹🥹 5 ***** from Mr & Mrs Booth using you in our 3rd year!

Let me just start by saying that it was most one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life and I’ve been all over the world Giovanni made everything so personal he explaining things about every location, the history of such and what to expect and not to expect… I feel that we have become actual friends on an eight hour trip and he was the most thoughtful captain of a boat trip that I’ve ever experienced….. Always wanting to make sure that we have the upmost pleasurable positive experience on our trip and not to mention it was my 60th birthday. Which made it even better…. I would highly recommend this company not to mention the captain Giovanni, who will always make your day and your experience. Something of a lifetime. Again, I wanna thank you Giovanni for everything you’ve done for my wife and I yesterday it’s been one of the most amazing trips ever. Hope to see you soon your friend James, and Marci.
