About this experience

This small-boat tour traces the Sorrento coastline out to the island of Capri, taking in scenery that's hard to reach any other way. With room for up to 12 people on board, it's a far more personal way to see the coast than a large ferry allows, cruising past the Marciano Waterfall before crossing open water toward Capri.

The heart of the experience is Capri itself, seen from the water. Depending on the option chosen, you can time your visit to the Blue Grotto for early morning, arriving as it opens to avoid the queues that build up later in the day. A small rowboat takes you inside this sea cave, where erosion over thousands of years has created its distinctive, glowing blue water. From there, the boat circles the island, passing the White Grotto, the Green Grotto, the Faraglioni rock formations, a natural arch, and the lighthouse at Punta Carena, with stops along the way for swimming and snorkeling in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Once dropped off in Capri, you get four hours of free time before meeting back at the boat. That's enough time to wander the town's narrow streets, browse the shops, or ride the chairlift up Mount Solaro and walk back down. On the return leg to Sorrento, there's a Limoncello tasting on board — a fitting way to close out a day spent exploring one of Naples' most scenic stretches of coastline.

What to expect

Your day starts either with a hotel pickup in the Sorrento area or by making your own way to the marina, where you board a boat holding up to 12 passengers. The route hugs the coastline first, passing the Marciano Waterfall, before heading out toward Capri. If you've chosen the Blue Grotto option, this is typically timed for early morning so you can slip inside via rowboat as it opens, taking in the cave's striking blue light before the crowds arrive.

From there, the boat circles Capri, passing the White Grotto, Green Grotto, the Faraglioni rocks, a natural arch and the Punta Carena lighthouse, with a guide narrating the island's landmarks along the way. Expect stops for swimming and snorkeling, plus drinks served on board. You're then dropped on Capri for four hours of free time — enough for a wander through town, some shopping, or a chairlift ride up Mount Solaro. Back on the boat, a Limoncello tasting accompanies the return trip to Sorrento or your hotel, depending on the option booked.

Things to note

  • Wear swimwear under your clothes so you're ready for the swimming and snorkeling stops
  • Bring a towel, as one isn't provided on board
  • Pack comfortable shoes if you plan to explore Capri's streets or hike down from Mount Solaro
  • Bring sunglasses and sun protection, as much of the day is spent on open water
  • Choose the early morning departure if visiting the Blue Grotto is a priority, to avoid longer queues later in the day
  • Check whether your selected option includes hotel pickup or requires you to reach the marina independently
