Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

The Faraglioni and Marina Vistas

Capri’s Faraglioni rise from the sea as the island’s emblem; the private-boat vantage brings these needle-like stacks and the sweeping Marina Piccola and Marina Grande coasts close enough for extraordinary photographs and long looks.

THE CAVES

Blue, Green and Secret Grottos

The itinerary can include visits to an array of sea caves—the optional Blue Cave plus the Green, White and Coral caves—and the romantic Cave of the Heart, each a distinct pocket of color and light carved by the sea.

THE ROUTE

Lighthouses, Arches and Coastal Landmarks

The tour rounds natural features such as the imposing Natural Arch and the historic Punta Carena lighthouse while threading the island’s coastal highlights, making for a varied day of scenic cruising.

What the day feels like

A relaxed, full-day private charter: the skipper plots a seaside route around Capri’s shore, slowing for grotto approaches and swims in clear bays, offering prosecco on deck and plenty of photo stops before an easy cruise back to port.
