Private sailing trip along Capri and the Sorrento Coast

★ 5.0 · 5 reviews⏱ 9 hours📍 Italy

About this tour

Spend nine hours sailing the Sorrentine coastline and around Capri aboard a private boat, departing from Sant'Agnello. You'll navigate crystalline Mediterranean waters with a knowledgeable local skipper, stopping to swim and snorkel in sheltered coves. The route traces dramatic cliffs, hidden grottos, and the iconic island's rugged shore. This is leisurely exploration rather than rushed sightseeing—expect time anchored in quiet spots, swimming straight from the deck, and learning about the region's geography and maritime heritage from someone who knows these waters intimately.

Highlights

  • Sail past Capri's limestone cliffs and sea caves
  • Snorkel in secluded Mediterranean coves
  • Skip the crowds on a private vessel
  • Local skipper shares coastal knowledge
  • Swim directly from the boat deck
  • Explore the Sorrento Peninsula's hidden corners
  • All snorkelling gear supplied

What to expect

You'll meet your skipper at Marina di Cassano and head out into open water, following the jagged coastline westward. Expect a mix of sailing and anchoring—the skipper will pick sheltered spots for swimming and snorkelling based on conditions. You'll see dramatic rock formations, sea stacks, and small beaches accessible only by water. Most of the day is spent on or in the water rather than at viewpoint stops. Bring a hat and waterproof sun protection; the Mediterranean sun reflects off the water intensely. There's time to relax between swims, chat with the skipper, and simply take in the landscape.

Good to know

Not suitable if you have spinal injuries. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and water—snorkelling kit is provided. The boat departs rain or shine; rough conditions may alter the route but rarely cancel outings. Seasickness tablets advised if you're prone to it.
