About this tour
A 2-hour boat tour around Capri that weaves together hidden inlets, Roman history and seaside swimming. You'll depart from the island's iconic Scugnizzo statue and navigate waters known to local sailors, passing Emperor Tiberius's clifftop estates and the dramatic Faraglioni rock formations. The voyage doubles as a floating history lesson—tales of the emperor's leap and the Natural Arch's geological story unfold as you drift past—punctuated by a dip in the sea and a proper Spritz Caprese to mark the moment.
Highlights
- Secluded coves inaccessible from shore
- Tiberius-era villas glimpsed from the water
- Faraglioni rock stacks and Natural Arch formations
- Swimming break in sheltered bay
- Chilled Spritz Caprese and light snacks aboard
- Stories of imperial intrigue and local lore
What to expect
You'll meet guides at a central point and board small boats designed for close-quarters exploration. The first hour weaves between rocky outcrops and secret bays, with your skipper sharing anecdotes about the emperors and legends tied to these waters—nothing feels rushed or scripted. You'll have time to swim; bring a mask if you fancy looking underwater. The second half steadies into a relaxed float with Spritz in hand, snacks passed around, and space to simply watch the cliffs tower above. Water, towels and sunscreen are provided. Children and prams are welcome.
Good to know
The famous Blue Grotto is not part of this itinerary. Boats are small and intimate rather than large tour vessels. Wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a dry bag for phones. The tour runs in most weather; contact ahead during rough seas. Public transport links are nearby if you're staying elsewhere on the island.
