About this tour
Eight-hour boat tour departing Sorrento that sails around Capri's coastline, ducking into sea caves and anchoring for swimming and snorkelling in crystalline water. You'll get four hours to explore Capri town itself—time enough to wander the piazza, grab lunch, or ride the chairlift up Monte Solaro. The boat holds a maximum of twelve passengers, keeping the experience intimate rather than chaotic. Minivan pickup and return from your Sorrento accommodation is included.
Highlights
- Explore Green Grotto, White Grotto, Fisherman's Grotto by boat
- Snorkel in Capri's clear Mediterranean waters
- Four unstructured hours wandering Capri town
- Faraglioni rock formations viewed from sea level
- Onboard snack and drink; skipper shares local knowledge
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to Sorrento's port. Once aboard the small boat, the skipper navigates tight coves and sea caves—you'll float past limestone walls and into grottoes, with swimming breaks as the mood suits. The water is genuinely clear and cold enough to feel bracing. After two hours of cruising, you dock in Capri town for four hours of your own time. The main piazza gets busy, but backstreets quieten down fast. The skipper will brief you on timing and mention the chairlift option if you fancy island views. You'll return to the boat for the journey back to Sorrento.
Good to know
The Blue Grotto isn't included—it requires a separate boat transfer and landing fee. Bring sunscreen, a rash guard, and cash for lunch and souvenirs in town. The boat departure depends on weather; rough seas occasionally force cancellations or rescheduling.
