Capri Island Boat Tour

Tour of Capri Island by Boat from Marina Grande

Discover hidden grottoes, iconic sea stacks, and the true soul of Capri from the water.


This Capri island boat tour offers a complete two-hour circumnavigation of one of Italy's most celebrated islands, departing directly from the Marina Grande tourist port and bringing you face to face with its most spectacular natural formations.

The route takes in a sequence of sea caves and coastal landmarks that are difficult or impossible to reach on foot, giving passengers a perspective on Capri that few visitors experience. Stops for swimming and snorkelling allow time to explore the clear waters at close range before the tour continues.

On board, guests are welcomed with snacks and drinks during a relaxing break, and the experience concludes with a happy hour featuring a limoncello tasting — a fitting send-off that reflects the island's most iconic local flavour.

Tour Highlights

Visit the Grotta Meravigliosa, Grotta Bianca, and Grotta Verde — three distinct sea caves each with their own colour and character.

Observe the iconic Faraglioni sea stacks rising from the sea, among the most photographed natural features in the Mediterranean.

Pass by the villa of Curzio Malaparte, an architectural landmark clinging to the cliffside on the eastern tip of the island.

Two dedicated stops for swimming and snorkelling in the island's clear, calm coastal waters.

Happy hour with limoncello tasting on board before returning to the port — a genuine taste of Capri tradition.

Spot the Natural Arch and the lighthouse of Punta Carena along the route without any extra effort.

Itinerary

1
Meeting at Marina Grande

Meet the skipper at the Tourist Port of Marina Grande under the white umbrellas. Boarding takes place promptly to make the most of the two-hour window on the water.

2
Grotto Circuit and Coastal Landmarks

The boat departs on a clockwise tour of the island, stopping at the Grotta Meravigliosa, the Grotta Bianca, and the Grotta Verde. Along the way, the Natural Arch, Villa Malaparte, the Faraglioni, and the Punta Carena lighthouse are all visible from the water.

3
Swimming and Snorkelling Stops

Two dedicated stops give passengers time to enter the water and explore the coastline directly. Snorkelling gear is welcome, and the conditions in sheltered bays are generally well-suited to casual swimmers.

4
On-Board Break with Snacks and Drinks

A relaxing pause with snacks and drinks served on board gives guests a chance to rest and take in the scenery from the deck.

5
Happy Hour and Limoncello Tasting

Before returning to port, guests are invited to enjoy a happy hour with limoncello — the liqueur synonymous with the island — as a closing ritual of the tour.
