About this tour
A private 36-foot Italian boat takes up to four passengers on a seven-hour voyage around Capri, departing from Sorrento. Your English-speaking captain navigates the island's dramatic coastline, revealing sea caves, rock formations and hidden swimming spots. The itinerary includes a substantial land stop on Capri itself (2–4 hours), where you can explore the town or grab lunch, plus multiple dips in the crystalline Mediterranean. Snorkelling gear and refreshments are provided.
Highlights
- Pilot your own skipper around Capri's limestone cliffs and grottos
- Swim and snorkel directly from the boat in turquoise waters
- Visit the Blue Grotto, Green Grotto and White Grotto by sea
- Spot Villa Malaparte, Faraglioni Rocks and the Natural Arch
- Spend 2–4 hours exploring Capri town on foot
- Snorkelling equipment and drinks included throughout
What to expect
You'll board a well-maintained private vessel at Sorrento and spend the morning cruising Capri's perimeter with your captain pointing out geological landmarks and local mythology. The boat hugs coves and pulls into grottoes where light transforms the water into shades of blue and green. After a few hours of cruising and swimming, you'll moor near Capri town for a substantial break—enough time to wander the steep piazza, browse shops, or grab a waterfront meal. Afternoon returns to the water for more swimming and snorkelling before heading back to Sorrento. Expect a relaxed pace with plenty of flexibility.
