About this tour
Skip the crowds and cruise Capri's coastline on a private gozzo, a traditional wooden fishing boat rebuilt to modern standards. Your eight-to-nine-hour journey from Sorrento is helmed by an experienced captain who tailors the itinerary to your rhythm. You'll swim in hidden coves, explore sea grottos, and sip Prosecco while limestone cliffs rise around you. The boat carries everything you need—snorkelling gear, fresh water, snacks—so you arrive relaxed and leave with genuine stories, not postcard moments.

What to expect
You'll depart Sorrento in the early morning and spend the day moving between Capri's quieter anchorages—not the Blue Grotto queues. The captain reads conditions and your energy levels, stopping where the water's calmest for swimming or where rock formations are most dramatic. Bring a swimsuit and sunscreen. Snorkelling is optional, not mandatory. Most of the day is spent on water, so if you're prone to seasickness, mention it beforehand so the captain can plot a gentler route. The boat has a toilet, but facilities are basic. Lunch isn't included, though snacks and drinks keep hunger at bay.
Good to know
Landing fees and tips aren't included in the price—budget for both. The boat suits all fitness levels but isn't recommended for passengers with spinal injuries or serious heart conditions. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; older children can use prams before boarding. Public transport to the departure point is available if you're not pre-arranged.
