Sorrento Coast and Capri Island Boat Tour from Naples
Sail the mythical waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea aboard a private-style boat with just 12 guests.
This Capri island boat tour from Naples takes you along the legendary Sorrento coastline and around the full perimeter of Capri, reaching sea caves and rock formations that are completely inaccessible by land. With a maximum of 12 passengers, this is a genuinely intimate way to experience one of Italy's most celebrated destinations.
Departing from Naples, the route follows the Sorrento coast, passing the ancient fishing harbor of Marina Grande and the storied ruins of the Baths of Queen Giovanna — a natural sea pool carved into the cliffs that featured in a 1953 Italian film. The journey itself is part of the experience, with open water views and coastal drama unfolding at every turn.
Once the boat reaches Capri, a full circumnavigation of the island reveals landmarks including the Natural Arch, the Marvelous Cave, the White Cave, the Green Cave, and the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks rising from the sea. Free time ashore allows guests to walk the island's center, visit Piazza Umberto I, and explore Via Camerelle before the return sail to the mainland.

Full boat circumnavigation of Capri, accessing sea caves and coastal formations unreachable on foot.
Scenic sail past the Baths of Queen Giovanna, a Roman-era natural pool along the Sorrento coast.
Close-up views of the Faraglioni Rocks, Capri's most recognized natural landmark from the sea.
Strictly limited to 12 passengers, ensuring a calm and uncrowded on-water experience.
Free time in central Capri to visit Piazza Umberto I and the luxury boutiques of Via Camerelle.
Guided views of the Grotta Meravigliosa, Grotta Bianca, and Grotta Verde from the water.
