A one-day trip from Rome to Capri can become an unforgettable luxury experience—perfect for travelers with limited time who still want to explore the iconic Blue Island and the Amalfi Coast without sacrificing comfort or the pleasure of a well-curated journey. The itinerary—designed by the expert travel designers at Capri 360—begins in the capital with a comfortable high-speed train to Naples, getting you there in just over an hour. Upon arrival, a private chauffeur will be waiting to take you directly to the private dock of the company founded by Gianni Tedesco, where an exclusive private yacht will be ready to set sail. In around fifty minutes of navigation, you’ll reach Capri, crossing one of the most scenic stretches of sea in Italy—with Mount Vesuvius and the Sorrento Peninsula on one side, and Ischia and Procida on the other. This luxury package—custom-made by Capri 360 for anyone looking to enjoy a short, indulgent escape beneath the Faraglioni during a vacation in Italy—is designed to offer a complete, seamless, and customizable experience. It’s ideal for couples, small groups of friends, or anyone who wants to enjoy a special day filled with sea views, relaxation, and iconic sights. Once aboard the yacht, travelers can choose between two different routes, each showcasing the beauty of the Gulf of Naples, but with a unique tone depending on the kind of experience you want to have.

Itinerary 1: from Rome to Capri, Nerano and Positano

The first option combines Capri, Nerano, and Positano into a single unforgettable day, offering a dynamic and varied itinerary. The morning begins with a private boat tour around the island of Capri: a stunning route that lets you admire enchanting spots like the White Grotto, the Green Grotto, the Natural Arch, and of course, the famous view of the Faraglioni. There’s also the chance to stop for a swim in the island’s turquoise waters. After exploring Capri’s most fascinating coastal corners, the cruise continues toward Nerano, a refined bay along the Amalfi Coast known for its culinary traditions. Here, you can enjoy lunch at one of the area’s most renowned restaurants, such as Conca del Sogno or Lo Scoglio—both celebrated for their seaside settings and fresh Mediterranean cuisine. After lunch, the yacht heads to Positano, one of the most iconic towns on the Amalfi Coast. The view of this postcard-perfect village, clinging to the mountainside, is truly unforgettable. For those who wish, there’s time for a short stroll or an aperitivo before returning to Naples by yacht and catching one of the evening trains back to Rome.

Itinerary 2: from Rome to exclusive Capri

The second itinerary is perfect for those who prefer a slower pace and want to fully soak up the magic of Capri. This experience from Rome to Capri is entirely dedicated to the Blue Island. The morning still begins with a leisurely cruise around Capri, with plenty of time to enjoy every cove, rock formation, and breathtaking view. Once the tour is complete, the yacht docks at Marina Grande. From there, a stylish open-top taxi takes guests up to the famous Piazzetta. The afternoon unfolds as a series of quintessentially Caprese experiences: shopping in the luxury boutiques of Via Camerelle, strolling through narrow whitewashed lanes and scenic terraces, a leisurely lunch with a view, and a must-stop at Buonocore, home to one of the island’s most beloved gelatos. The rest of the time can be spent shopping for artisanal souvenirs, getting made-to-measure Capri sandals, or simply enjoying the refined and relaxed atmosphere that has made Capri an iconic destination known around the world.
