About this tour
Hire a traditional wooden Gozzo with a local skipper to circuit Capri's coastline over seven to eight hours, departing from Sorrento, Positano, or Capri itself. You'll navigate past sea caves in shades of white, green and red, the dramatic Faraglioni stacks, and lighthouse points while swimming and exploring at your leisure. The package covers Capri's landing fee, snorkelling kit, and time ashore to eat, wander the old town, or shop—all anchored by a crew who knows these waters inside out.
Highlights
- Glide past four distinctive sea grottos and Faraglioni rock formations
- Snorkel in sheltered coves with provided equipment
- Optional Blue Grotto entry by rowboat (extra fee, conditions dependent)
- Land on Capri with €150 port fee included
- Prosecco and limoncello on board
- Swim and lounge at your own rhythm
- Private boat with experienced local skipper throughout
What to expect
Your Gozzo departs early and traces the island's full perimeter, pausing at natural sea caves and rock formations where you can hop overboard to swim or snorkel. The skipper handles navigation and timing; you decide how long to linger at each spot. Mid-tour, you'll land on Capri proper with several hours free. Some travellers grab lunch at harborside trattorias, others climb into the hillside centre to browse boutiques or simply sit with espresso. Return to the boat for the sail home, with drinks flowing as the sun lowers.
Good to know
Blue Grotto entry costs extra and relies on calm sea conditions; book it on arrival if interested. Bring sun protection—the boat offers shade but exposure is real. Strollers and prams work fine for those with young children. Public transport connects nearby if you prefer not to drive to the departure port.
