Sorrento Coast and Capri: Boat Experience from Sorrento

Sail from Sorrento to Capri and discover the island's legendary grottos, crystalline waters, and iconic coastline in a single day.


This Capri boat tour from Sorrento takes you along one of the Mediterranean's most dramatic coastlines, combining guided navigation past ancient Roman ruins and natural sea arches with free time to explore the island independently at your own pace.

Departing from the port of Piano di Sorrento, the journey follows the Sorrento coast, passing the ancient fishing village of Marina Grande, the ruins of a Roman villa at the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall that tumbles directly from the cliff face into the sea.

Once at Capri, the boat circumnavigates the island, making stops at the Marvelous Grotto, the White Grotto, and the Green Grotto. Guests also have the opportunity to swim and snorkel in the clear waters during designated free-swimming stops.

A multi-hour stopover on the island allows visitors to explore Capri's famous lanes, browse the characteristic boutiques, and take in the elevated views at their own leisure before the return sail to Sorrento concludes with a limoncello tasting on board.

Tour Highlights

Visit three of Capri's most celebrated sea grottos: the Marvelous Grotto, the White Grotto, and the Green Grotto.

Admire the Faraglioni rock stacks, the Natural Arch, and the distinctive Villa Malaparte from the water.

Enjoy free swimming and snorkeling stops in the clear waters surrounding the island of Capri.

Navigate past Roman ruins at Bagni della Regina Giovanna and a natural coastal waterfall along the Sorrento coast.

Spend three to five hours exploring Capri independently, from the main piazza to the local shops and scenic viewpoints.

Relax on board with snacks and drinks provided during the navigation, and enjoy a limoncello tasting on the return journey.

A free shuttle service from the Achille Lauro Parking meeting point to the port is included for a stress-free start.
