About this tour

What to expect
You'll depart Sorrento by private boat, spending the first stretch admiring limestone cliffs and fishing villages hugging the coast. Once at Capri, expect a slow circumnavigation of the island—your skipper pointing out the three Faraglioni stacks, then steering toward cave entrances where sunlight refracts through water in shades of sapphire and emerald. Swimming and snorkelling breaks happen in sheltered bays with calm, transparent conditions. Lunch arrives mid-afternoon at a harborside restaurant where you'll eat fresh pasta or seafood whilst watching other boats pass. The return journey is more leisurely, allowing time to simply sit, drink, and absorb the view.
Good to know
Blue Grotto entry costs €18 per person separately. A €100 boat docking fee applies only if you choose to moor at Capri (not mandatory). Bring sunscreen and a hat; the boat offers shade but exposure is significant. Snorkelling gear is supplied. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; prams and strollers are welcome aboard. Alcoholic drinks reserved for passengers 21 and over.
