Designing Your Tailored Private Charter
How you can customize your day on the water with your private skipper.
Flexible routes and secluded swim coves
Unlike rigid group tours with fixed schedules, a private charter moves entirely at your pace. You can depart in the morning for calm seas or in the early afternoon for golden hour and sunset lighting.
Your skipper can anchor in the protected cove of Furore Fjord, cruise past the ancient watchtower of Conca dei Marini, or drop anchor at secluded pebble beaches near Praiano where the water is calm, clear, and uncrowded.
Seaside dining by boat
One of the signature pleasures of a private charter is lunching at a coastal trattoria accessible only by boat. Your skipper can arrange a lunchtime mooring at legendary spots like Da Adolfo at Laurito beach or La Tonnarella in Conca dei Marini, where local tender boats ferry you ashore for fresh grilled catch and spaghetti alle vongole.

Passenger Reviews
Booking a private gozzo was the single best decision of our entire vacation. Our captain took us to caves where we were the only people in the water.
Incredible value for a family of five. More relaxing than any group tour, and being dropped off at a seaside restaurant for lunch was extraordinary.
