About this tour
An eight-hour boat journey from Sorrento circles Capri's dramatic coastline, taking in sea stacks, hidden grottoes, and sheltered bays. You'll cruise past the Sorrentine Peninsula's jagged cliffs and turquoise coves before reaching Capri itself, where swimming and snorkelling breaks punctuate stops at Marina Piccola and other natural landmarks. The afternoon leaves time to explore Capri's hilltop villages and chairlift views on foot, with light snacks and drinks served aboard throughout.
Highlights
- Faraglioni Rocks – Capri's three towering sea stacks
- Green and White Grottoes accessible by boat
- Swimming and snorkelling in clear Mediterranean water
- Marina Piccola bay for a midday dip
- Free time to wander Piazzetta or ride chairlift to Monte Solaro
- Panzanella, bruschetta, and olives eaten aboard
What to expect
The boat departs Sorrento and hugs the Sorrentine coast, passing limestone cliffs and small coves before arriving at Capri. You'll loop the island by water, spotting the dramatic Faraglioni Rocks and entering the Green and White Grottoes (weather dependent). Two or three swimming stops let you snorkel in sheltered spots. Back on Capri, you have several hours free to climb to Anacapri, visit the main Piazzetta, or take the chairlift up Monte Solaro for valley views. Snacks and drinks keep you fuelled between swims.
Good to know
The Blue Grotto entrance fee isn't included. Bring sunscreen and a towel; snorkelling gear is supplied. Small children can travel in prams. Public transport reaches the departure point easily. Suitable for all fitness levels, though climbing about the boat and water confidence help.
