About this tour
Explore Capri's rugged coastline and hidden coves from the water with Giovanni, a seasoned local skipper who navigates beyond the usual tourist haunts. This six to seven hour private boat tour departs from Italy and includes snorkelling gear, refreshments, and towels. You'll discover sheltered bays, sea caves, and swimming spots that most visitors miss, guided by someone who knows every inlet and current along the island's dramatic shores.

What to expect
You'll board a private vessel and spend the day anchored at secluded bays where the water is clear and calm. Giovanni steers away from crowded spots, instead pointing out narrow grottoes and rocky outcrops where few boats venture. Bring your snorkel and mask—the gear is on board—and expect plenty of time to swim and float between stops. There's no rigid itinerary; he adjusts based on weather and your interests. Lunch and snacks appear throughout the day, and the boat stocks a selection of chilled drinks. The pace is relaxed, designed for soaking in the island's raw beauty rather than ticking off landmarks.
Good to know
Bring your own sunscreen; reapply often on the water. Wear non-slip shoes for boarding. The Blue Grotto visit costs €18 per person extra and isn't included. Not suitable for those with serious mobility issues or spinal injuries. Infants sit on an adult's lap; prams aren't practical on a boat.
