Very Small Group Capri Boat Excursion with Transfer from Sorrento

Discover the jewel of the Tyrrhenian Sea by boat — caves, rocks, and open water, without the ferry crowds.


This small-group boat tour to Capri offers an intimate and unhurried way to experience one of Italy's most celebrated islands, departing directly from the port of Sorrento with hotel pickup included. With a maximum of 12 passengers on board, the experience is designed for travelers who value space, comfort, and genuine access to Capri's most iconic coastal landmarks.

The route traces the dramatic Sorrento coastline before crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea toward Capri, where the itinerary unfolds at a measured pace. Guests encounter the island's celebrated sea caves, the Faraglioni rock formations, and the scenic Punta Carena Lighthouse — landmarks that define the visual identity of this storied destination.

A swim stop near Marina Piccola Bay gives travelers the chance to cool off in clear Mediterranean waters before heading ashore. The tour then allows 3 to 4 hours of free time on the island, ideal for wandering the piazzas, browsing artisan sandal shops, and taking in the views from the historic center known as La Piazzetta.

Tour Highlights

Cruise past the White Grotto, Green Grotto, and Coral Grotto — three of Capri's most visually striking sea caves.

Admire the legendary Faraglioni Rocks, three towering sea stacks that form one of the most recognized seascapes in the world.

Enjoy a refreshing swim stop in the crystal-clear turquoise waters near Marina Piccola Bay.

Pass by the Punta Carena Lighthouse, Italy's second most powerful lighthouse set on a dramatic rocky promontory.

View the natural arch above the Grotta di Matromani, a Roman-era nymphaeum decorated with mosaics carved into the clifftop landscape.

Spend 3 to 4 hours exploring Capri independently — from La Piazzetta to the narrow lanes lined with handcrafted sandal boutiques.

Travel in a very small group of no more than 12 passengers, with hotel pickup included from Sorrento.

Itinerary Overview

1
Pickup from Sorrento and Departure by Boat

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel or designated meeting point in Sorrento, followed by transfer to the port of departure. Once on board, the vessel sets off along the coastline heading toward the island of Capri.

2
Sea Caves: White Grotto, Green Grotto, and Coral Grotto

The boat navigates past Capri's celebrated sea caves, each with its own distinct character. The White Grotto is lined with white calcareous incrustations and stalactites, while the Green Grotto's luminous tones result from refracted light playing off the cave's yellowish walls.

3
Faraglioni Rocks, Punta Carena, and the Natural Arch

The route continues past the Faraglioni — three dramatic rock outcroppings that rise from the sea — before reaching the Punta Carena Lighthouse on a scenic promontory. Nearby, a massive natural arch carved from rock frames views over the entrance to the ancient Grotta di Matromani.

4
Swim Stop at Marina Piccola Bay

The skipper anchors near Marina Piccola, a charming coastal area known for its clear waters and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Guests are welcome to swim or simply rest on deck and enjoy the surroundings.
