Private boat tour: Sorrento to Capri & Blue Grotto

About this tour

A 6–7 hour private boat excursion from Sorrento around Capri's dramatic coastline. You'll navigate past the Faraglioni rock formations, drop anchor in quiet coves for swimming and snorkelling, and cruise past the Blue Grotto entrance (entry fee separate). A skipper handles navigation while you take in the rugged cliffs, turquoise shallows, and Mediterranean light. Includes snorkelling kit, light snacks, and drinks aboard.

Highlights

• Faraglioni rocks and sculptural coastline viewed from water level
• Snorkel in sheltered bays with clear visibility and marine life
• Blue Grotto approach by boat (interior entry costs extra)
• Drinks and appetisers served throughout the day
• Swimming stops at isolated spots inaccessible by land
• Private charter with experienced skipper

What to expect

You'll board in Sorrento and head straight for Capri's eastern shore. The skipper will navigate you past dramatic rock formations and into quiet anchorages where you can jump overboard to snorkel or float. The boat includes basic amenities—toilet, shade options, and a small galley serving soft drinks, beer, and prosecco alongside nibbles. Expect 4–5 hours on the water with 2–3 swimming breaks. The approach to the Blue Grotto gives you views of its entrance; if you want to go inside, that's arranged and paid separately. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a rushed sightseeing run.
