From the bustle of Naples’ waterfront you step aboard for eight hours of sea air, limestone cliffs and emerald water as a professional skipper threads a private route to Capri: a full‑day itinerary that mixes coastal sailing, grotto visits and time ashore in the Piazzetta.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Iconic rockforms and grottoes

The tour threads Capri’s signature landmarks: the Blue Grotto and the Faraglioni sea stacks, passing other coastal features such as the Natural Arch and multiple island grottoes.

THE WATER

Swim and snorkel in crystalline bays

Stops are made for swimming and snorkeling in some of Capri’s clearest coves, letting you sample the island’s blue‑green waters from the comfort of a private boat.

THE ISLAND

Free time ashore in the Piazzetta

You’ll have time to step ashore, stroll to the Piazzetta, visit the Gardens of Augustus and wander the island’s shopping streets before rejoining the boat.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day is a steady alternation of open‑sea sailing along the Sorrentine coast, slow cruises by cliff faces and short, deliberate stops: a tender entry at the Blue Grotto, a swim in a sheltered bay, a walking interlude in Capri’s piazza and gardens, then more grottoes on the return—capped by a glass of Sorrento limoncello as the island recedes.
