About this tour
A 7–8 hour boat tour departing from Sorrento that cruises around Capri's rocky coastline and hidden coves aboard a swift open vessel. Your captain navigates shallow bays inaccessible to larger ferries, stopping for swimming and snorkelling in luminous waters. The boat carries just enough passengers to feel intimate rather than crowded, with refreshments and snorkelling kit supplied throughout the day.

- Swim and snorkel in crystalline Mediterranean waters
- Skip large tour operators: professional captain-led experience
- Drinks and snacks included: water, beer, prosecco, limoncello
- Pickup and return from Sorrento area meeting points

What to expect
Expect to spend most of your time on an open 40 hp motorboat with canvas canopy. Your captain will weave between Capri's sea cliffs and point out the island's geography from angles the big ferries never reach. You'll anchor in 2–3 bays for extended swims; water temperature and visibility are usually excellent, making snorkelling straightforward even for beginners. The boat has no cabin or toilet, so plan toilet stops before departure. Pace is relaxed—this isn't a high-speed thrill ride, but rather a day of bobbing between swim stops with drinks in hand.
Good to know
Port taxes and Blue Grotto entry (if visiting) are not included. The open design means sun exposure is high; bring sunscreen and a hat. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal or heart conditions. Infants must sit on a lap. Public transport reaches the meeting point.
