FLASH!

For those not in the know, the Amalfi Coast is one of the premier wedding and honeymoon destinations of the world.  This is no accident. The scenery is spectacular, as the cliffs dive steeply into the turquoise and deep blue hues of the Mediterranean Sea, with colorful villages dotting the waterside.

The Amalfi Coast has something that the rest of the world doesn’t- natural, untouched beauty with an alluring tangle of old-world charm and jet-set charisma.

Beauty like this can only be experienced…but many try to capture it through the lens. The only way to truly capture this beauty is to see the scenery from the sea.  Big names like Dolce & Gabbana, Fiat, Alberta Ferretti, Jamie Oliver and many, many more have found and cherished the natural beauty, utilizing the dramatic and magnificent surroundings to create an artistic and remarkable vision.

The truth is, I believe that anyone can create photographic works of art here. All you need is a boat and a photographer, and the rest falls into place.

It’s easy to contact Exclusive Cruises for information on pricing and boat options for an engagement shoot, wedding shots, or a stag or hen party.  exclusivecruisesitaly@gmail.com

The Gardens of Augustus

The gardens of Augustus are botanical gardens on the island of Capri, originally built in the early 20th century by the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp. 

The gardens

Named for the late Roman emperor Augustus,the gardens are built high up on the island and boast a wonderful view of the Mediterranean Sea. Attached to the gardens is an extremely windy road called Via Krupp which leads down to Marina Piccola. Unfortunately this unique road has been closed due to falling rocks (Capri is an island of limestone, so there is always a threat of falling rock).

Via Krupp

 It is a beautiful garden and one of the many few free attractions, so it tends to get crowded. We recommend going early in the morning to beat the crowds.

Boat Charter to Positano and Nerano from Capri

It’s safe to say that everyone knows about Capri- It’s high end boutiques, colorful villas and five star hotels. Capri is the island to see and be seen, to soak into a Mediterranean paradise and create a holiday full of chicness and relaxation.

One of the most popular past times while on holiday in Capri is to charter a boat and explore the area- discover grottos around the island, stop to swim, enjoy the day and more.

However, another great excursion is to head straight towards the Amalfi Coast. Stop to swim around Li Galli Islands-a set of private islands off the coast of Positano where the legendary Ulysses heard the seducing song of the sirens. This little archipelago of islands is privately owned and rented out to guests who want a low profile with a high budget. Although one cannot step foot onto the island, he or she can swim in the middle and enjoy the seductive views.

After a refreshing swim, on to Positano to shop and take colorful photos! Positano’s reputation is similar to Capri, with shopping, luxury hotels and a VIP atmosphere. After a fun visit, one of the coolest things to do is get back on the boat and cruise over to Nerano, a small fishing village nearby. This beautiful and unpretentious stretch of beach is home to some of the best, mouthwatering restaurants on the coastline. The boat will dock directly on one of the small buoys while a tender from the restaurant comes to meet you and take you to shore. Sit outside and dine on fresh seafood, pasta, local wine and dessert. It is one of the most relaxing and serene experiences….not to be missed!

Once lunch is over and bellies are full, enjoy a leisurely boat ride back to the island of Capri under the soft light of the afternoon sunshine.  This is one of our all time favorite days.
