Capri Boat Tour with Blue Grotto: Fun & Swim

Cruise the legendary Sorrento coastline, discover Capri's sea caves, and swim in crystalline waters on this relaxed half-day adventure.

This Capri boat tour from Sorrento offers a carefully paced half-day on the water, combining scenic coastal cruising with genuine stops to swim and snorkel in some of the most celebrated spots along the Amalfi and Capri coastlines.

Aboard a comfortable boat with an experienced local captain, guests explore a series of natural landmarks — from hidden sea caves to dramatic rock formations — without the crowds that typically accompany larger vessel tours.

The itinerary is designed to be accessible to all fitness levels, with an easy difficulty rating and a relaxed atmosphere that suits families, couples, and solo travelers equally.

Tour Highlights

Swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Fiordo delle Sirene, a natural inlet enclosed by towering cliffs.

Cruise past the iconic Faraglioni rock formations off Capri's coastline, one of the most photographed landmarks in the Mediterranean.

Admire Capri's famous sea caves and their remarkable natural color play from close range aboard a small, maneuverable vessel.

Visit Puolo Bay, a quiet pebble-and-sand beach backed by traditional fishermen's houses, with views reaching Vesuvius.

Explore the Baths of Queen Giovanna, an ancient natural pool accessed through a dramatic sea arch carved into the cliffs.

Pass through Massa Lubrense and the promontory of Capo Corbo, where a small natural waterfall meets the sea.

Travel in a small group with a knowledgeable local captain who narrates the coastline's history and geography throughout.

Itinerary

Baths of Queen Giovanna

2
Puolo Bay

A stop at this tranquil bay reveals a beach of mixed pebbles and sand, framed by a small fishing village and a clear view of Mount Vesuvius across the water. The calm, transparent sea here makes it an ideal spot to appreciate the coastline at a slower pace.

3
Massa Lubrense and Capo Corbo

The boat rounds the peninsula toward Massa Lubrense, offering panoramic views of Capri appearing just across the water. At Capo Corbo, a modest natural waterfall spills directly into the sea from the cliff face.

4
Fiordo delle Sirene — Swimming Stop

Approximately 20 minutes are dedicated to swimming in this enclosed natural inlet, where the water is particularly clear and calm. Snorkeling gear can be used here to explore the rocky underwater terrain.

5
Capri Sea Caves and Faraglioni

The boat cruises along Capri's coastline, passing the legendary sea caves and approaching the Faraglioni rock stacks for close-up views. This stretch of the tour offers excellent photographic opportunities and a sense of the island's dramatic geology.
