About this tour
Hire a traditional wooden boat with a dedicated skipper for a 2–4 hour private circuit of Capri's coastline. Navigate past the Faraglioni rocks and slip into the Blue Grotto without jostling for position among tour groups. Drop anchor in quiet bays for swimming in transparent water, then drift between limestone cliffs while sipping prosecco. The boat carries snorkelling gear, towels, and light Italian provisions, leaving you free to set the pace—explore hard or lie back and soak it in.

What to expect
You'll board a traditional island boat sized for your party alone. Your skipper knows the quieter anchorages and will adjust course based on weather, your mood, and what you want to see. Expect 20–40 minutes of gentle cruising between stops, with time to slip into the water whenever you fancy it. The Blue Grotto visit happens on your schedule; if conditions allow entry, you'll glide into that famous electric-blue chamber. Snorkelling is optional—masks and fins sit ready, but equally you can just float and watch the light play across the rocks. Refreshments appear steadily: water, soft drinks, a bottle of prosecco, and nibbles.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a hat; the water reflects light intensely. Wear swimwear under your clothes to save time. The boat suits all fitness levels—there's no hiking or strenuous activity. Public transport links nearby if you need to reach the departure point. Summer seas are calmest; spring and autumn offer fewer other boats.
