About this tour

Spend two hours circling Capri's dramatic coastline aboard a traditional local boat skippered by someone who knows every rock and legend. You'll glide past the jagged Faraglioni stacks, slip into hidden sea caves, and spot the Natural Arch rising from the water. A swimming stop lets you cool off in Mediterranean waters so clear you'll see straight down. The skipper handles history and local stories as you motor slowly past coves most tourists miss.

Highlights

  • Faraglioni rock formations towering from the sea
  • Hidden sea caves accessible only by boat
  • Natural Arch spanning the coastline
  • Designated swim break in clear water
  • Local skipper with island knowledge and anecdotes
  • Traditional Capri boat design

What to expect

The boat departs and follows the island's perimeter at an easy pace. Your skipper provides running commentary on Capri's geology, history, and mythology as you pass major landmarks. Expect stops at scenic viewpoints and a proper swimming break where you can jump in—bring a towel and respect the marine environment. The experience is unhurried rather than action-packed; you're observing, not rushing. Note that the Blue Grotto (popular but often queue-prone) isn't included and entry isn't guaranteed, so don't plan around it.

Good to know

Bring sun protection, swimwear, and a waterproof bag. The €14 Blue Grotto entrance isn't covered. Infants sit on adult laps; prams stay on shore. Accessible by public transport to the port. Not suitable if you have serious heart or mobility concerns.
