Capri Exclusive 3-Hour Private Boat Tour: Swim, Relax and Explore Hidden Gems

Your own vessel, your own pace — discover Capri beyond the tourist trail.


This private boat tour in Capri places you aboard a traditional island vessel with a dedicated skipper, giving you complete freedom to explore the coastline at your own rhythm over three unhurried hours.

Capri is one of the most celebrated islands in the Mediterranean, and much of its magic lies just beyond the reach of mass tourism. This tour is designed to take you there — into quiet coves, past dramatic limestone cliffs, and along stretches of water that most visitors never reach.

Your skipper brings local expertise and genuine attentiveness, adjusting the route to suit your preferences. Whether you want to linger in a secluded bay or push on to the next landmark, the itinerary bends to your wishes.

On board, you will find chilled water, soft drinks, and a bottle of prosecco waiting for you. The combination of comfort, privacy, and natural scenery makes this a particularly well-suited experience for couples, families, and small groups seeking something more personal than a shared excursion.

Tour Highlights

Swim in crystal-clear coves far from crowded boat lanes, with calm and transparent waters ideal for snorkeling and relaxation.

Visit the world-famous Blue Grotto, where sunlight filters through an underwater cavity to produce an extraordinary electric-blue glow.

Photograph the iconic Faraglioni rock formations rising from the sea — among the most recognized natural landmarks on the Italian coast.

Discover secluded bays and off-the-beaten-path sea caves that remain largely unknown to visitors arriving by ferry or bus.

Travel on a fully private basis with a skilled local skipper dedicated entirely to your group for the full three hours.

Enjoy complimentary refreshments on board, including water, soft drinks, and a bottle of prosecco served during the cruise.

Circumnavigate the island at a relaxed pace, taking in its full coastal landscape from the privileged vantage point of the sea.

How the Tour Unfolds

1
Departure from Capri Harbor

Your skipper meets your group at the designated meeting point and introduces you to the vessel. The boat sets off along the coastline as your guide explains the route and points out the first landmarks.

2
Blue Grotto Visit

The boat approaches the entrance of the Blue Grotto, one of Capri's most celebrated natural attractions. Depending on sea conditions, you will have time to enter and appreciate the remarkable light effect inside the cave.

3
Swimming Stop in a Secluded Cove

Your skipper selects a quiet bay away from the main boat traffic, where you can swim and snorkel in calm, clear water. Refreshments are served on board while you enjoy the surroundings.

4
Exploration of Hidden Sea Caves and Coves

The tour continues along lesser-visited stretches of coastline, including natural arches and small grottos accessible only by boat. Your skipper shares the history and geology of the formations as you pass.

5
Faraglioni Rocks and Photo Stop

The boat circles the three famous Faraglioni stacks, giving every passenger an unobstructed view and ample time for photography. Your skipper will position the vessel to capture the best angles.
