About this tour
Spend four hours navigating Capri's dramatic coastline aboard a private boat with a seasoned skipper. You'll circle the island's entire perimeter, pausing to take in towering cliffs, hidden coves and distinctive rock formations. Snorkelling gear lets you dip into crystalline waters between stops. Weather and tidal conditions permitting, add the Blue Grotto to your route—a luminescent sea cave worth the optional extra fee. Soft drinks, fresh water and beach towels keep you comfortable throughout.
Highlights
- Full island circumnavigation with skip-the-crowds timing
- Snorkel at secluded spots between coastal viewpoints
- Blue Grotto entry available tide-dependent, booked onsite
- Private boat experience, no group mixing
- Experienced local skipper guides throughout
What to expect
You'll board a sturdy traditional boat and set off along Capri's jagged shoreline, alternating between leisurely cruising and anchored stops for swimming and snorkelling. The skipper navigates you past Faraglioni rock formations, sea stacks and hidden grottoes, narrating the island's geography and marine life. When conditions permit, a detour to the Blue Grotto offers a surreal experience inside its glowing cavern—though entry fees apply and slots depend on tide. Between swims, you'll have time to absorb the landscape and watch for sea birds. The boat supplies everything needed for water time, and crew attends to comfort with cold drinks and showers on deck.
Good to know
Early morning or late afternoon departures mean fewer boats and calmer waters. The Blue Grotto costs €18 per person if accessible. Bring sunscreen and light layers; sea breezes cool quickly. Not suitable if you have serious heart or circulation concerns. Infants must sit with an adult; prams and service animals welcome.
