About this tour
Hire a traditional gozzo boat for a private 6–8 hour exploration of Capri's coastline. Departing from Naples, Sorrento, Positano, or Amalfi, you'll navigate hidden coves, dramatic rock formations, and crystalline waters at your own pace. Swim in secluded spots, snorkel among fish and sea life, and visit landmarks like the Faraglioni stacks. Your skipper adapts the route to suit your interests, whether you crave adventure or simple floating tranquillity.

- Flexible itinerary shaped by your mood and conditions
What to expect
You'll board a classic gozzo—a sturdy, open-sided wooden boat designed for these waters—and head out with your skipper, who knows every crevice along Capri's perimeter. Expect to weave past towering limestone cliffs, anchor in turquoise shallows for swimming, and drift through grottoes carved by millennia of wave action. The boat moves slowly enough to spot fish and rock formations, but fast enough to cover substantial ground. Bring a light layer; spray and wind can cool you down, especially on the return leg.
Good to know
Blue Grotto entry costs €45 per person extra and requires calm seas—confirm availability in advance. Disembarkation tax at Capri port (~€2–3) is not included. Bring lunch or plan to eat ashore; the boat carries water and nibbles only. All fitness levels manage fine; seating is simple benches, so expect a working boat, not a floating lounge.
