Nerano, just a short sail from Capri, is a tiny fishing village encircling a cove where time seems to have stood still for the last century.

Nerano is known by locals for its waterfront restaurants and excellent cuisine. Among the most famous traditional dishes is "Spaghetti alla Nerano", pasta tossed with zucchini in a style invented here and famous around the globe.

My favorite Nerano boat tour itinerary includes:

• Departure from Marina Grande in Capri
• A sail along the boundaries of the Marine Reserve of Punta Campanella

• Arrival at Nerano, where we switch to a smaller craft to reach the Da Mariagrazia Restaurant
• Lunch at the restaurant where the famed dish Spaghetti alla Nerano was invented, beloved by Jackie Kennedy. Here you must sample the mixed appetizers, spaghetti, and a good bottle of white wine!
• A bit of free time to relax on the beach...and maybe even have a short nap
• Return to Capri in late afternoon

This tour is perfect for those visiting Positano who would like to discover Capri with a local skipper. We especially recommend this tour in the summer months when Capri is particularly crowded with day-trippers.

• Your boat will come pick you up in Positano, at the Spiaggia Grande pier
• After a sail along the Amalfi Coast, we'll head towards the Li Galli Islets, where we'll stop for a swim.

• Arrival at Capri and island tour, stopping to visit the Grottoes
• Drop off in Marina Grande where you can disembark and take the funicular uphill to the Piazzetta and the centre of Capri town
• After your walk, you can travel back to Positano by ferry with a late afternoon route from Capri to Positano.
