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.

Itinerary
Board the modern 12-passenger boat at Naples and set out onto the Tyrrhenian Sea toward the Sorrento Peninsula. The coastline opens up quickly, offering views of cliffs and hillside villages from the water.
Sailing along the Sorrento coast, the guide points out Marina Grande, a well-preserved ancient fishing harbor, and the ruins of the Baths of Queen Giovanna, a Roman villa site with a natural seawater pool. This stretch of coastline featured in classic Italian cinema and remains largely unchanged.
The boat reaches Capri and begins a full circuit of the island, passing the Natural Arch, three named sea caves, and the Faraglioni Rocks. The route covers sections of the coastline that visitors on foot or public ferries never see.
Guests disembark for a period of free exploration in the island center. Recommended stops include Piazza Umberto I — the island's social hub — and the Faraglioni belvedere viewpoint reached via Via Camerelle.
The boat departs Capri and sails back toward Piano di Sorrento, retracing the coastal route with different light and perspective on the return leg. The full journey concludes back at the Naples departure point.
