About this tour
A private 28-foot boat departs Sorrento's Marina Grande for a seven-hour coastal exploration of Capri, cutting out the ferry queues. Your skipper navigates past the dramatic Faraglioni rock formations and into the Blue Grotto's luminous chamber, with multiple swimming and snorkelling stops along the way. The boat carries prosecco, limoncello, towels, and snacks—you're looked after while the crew handles navigation and logistics.

What to expect
You'll board a well-maintained private boat with a skilled skipper who knows the waters and handles all steering and logistics. Expect calm cruising between coves, with time to swim in clear water and use the snorkelling gear at designated stops. The Blue Grotto entrance involves a small motorboat transfer and modest fee (paid separately); the sea must be calm enough for safe entry. You'll have cold drinks and nibbles throughout, plus proper towels and safety equipment. The pace is leisurely—this isn't a rush; it's about savouring the coastline without the crowds.
