Capri by Sea: A Private Boat Adventure with Blue Grotto

5.0 · 18 reviews7 hours📍 Italy

About this tour

A seven-hour private boat journey around Capri's dramatic seascape, diving into four luminous sea caves—the electric-blue grotto, emerald-watered Green Grotto, White Grotto's limestone chambers, and the intimate Marvellous Grotto. You'll cruise past the iconic Faraglioni rock formations and the Natural Arch, slip into quiet coves for swimming and snorkelling, then anchor for free time exploring Marina Grande or the island's boutiques. Prosecco and snacks punctuate the day as you move between Italy's most photogenic coastline.

Highlights

  • Four distinct sea caves with contrasting waters and formations
  • Swim and snorkel in secluded bays away from tour crowds
  • Pass Faraglioni stacks and Natural Arch at close range
  • Prosecco and limoncello service aboard throughout the day
  • Unscheduled time to wander Marina Grande independently
  • Snorkelling gear supplied; no experience required

What to expect

The boat departs and immediately winds through Capri's rugged northern coastline, with crew narrating the geology as you approach each grotto. The Blue Grotto entrance is narrow—expect a small rowing boat transfer inside (ticket separate) to witness the otherworldly azure light. Between caves, you'll anchor in crystalline shallows where you can jump overboard with snorkel gear. A light lunch of snacks and drinks breaks up the afternoon. The final hours are yours: some passengers nap on deck, others catch the tender ashore to browse Marina Grande or climb into town. Return is leisurely, often catching golden-hour light across the water.

Good to know

Blue Grotto entrance fees aren't included; budget extra. Bring sunscreen and a rash guard if you're fair-skinned. Small children sit on laps; prams stay ashore. Sea conditions can be choppy in winter, so seasickness tablets are on board. Gratuities expected but optional.
