Full Day Capri Island Boat Tour from Naples
Sail the Tyrrhenian Sea, discover hidden grottos, and walk the sun-soaked streets of one of Italy's most celebrated islands.
This Capri Island boat tour from Naples offers a full day on and around one of the Mediterranean's most iconic destinations, combining coastal cruising, natural landmarks, swimming, and free time ashore in a small group of no more than twelve participants.
Departing from the Naples area with a complimentary shuttle transfer to the port in the Sorrento region, the journey to Capri unfolds aboard a dedicated vessel with a knowledgeable skipper guiding the group around the island's dramatic coastline. Highlights include the White Cave, the Green Grotto, the Faraglioni rock formations, and a natural arch suspended above the turquoise sea.
A stop at a quiet fishing village allows passengers to snorkel and swim in clear water, while the final portion of the day is reserved for independent exploration on the island itself. The format balances guided discovery with personal freedom, making it suitable for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike.
Tour Highlights
Cruise past the legendary Faraglioni Rocks, three towering sea stacks that define the Capri skyline from the water.
Explore the Green Grotto, where reflected and transmitted light creates a remarkable emerald glow across the cave walls.
Visit the White Cave, distinguished by its calcareous white incrustations and clusters of stalactites framing the entrance.
Stop at a small fishing village for a thirty-minute swim and snorkel break in sheltered, clear-water conditions.
Enjoy three to four hours of independent time on the island to visit the Piazzetta, browse artisan sandal workshops, and explore narrow lanes.
Travel in a small group capped at twelve people, ensuring a more attentive and unhurried experience throughout the day.
Round-trip shuttle service from the designated Naples meeting point to the departure port is included at no extra cost.
Itinerary Overview
The group assembles at StarHotels Terminus in Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, where a complimentary shuttle departs for the port in the Sorrento area. The transfer takes approximately ninety minutes each way.
The boat circumnavigates the island, passing the White Cave with its stalactite formations, the dramatic natural arch above the sea, and the Grotta di Matromani, a cave converted into a Roman nymphaeum adorned with glass mosaics and stucco work.
The skipper navigates close to the three iconic rock outcroppings of the Faraglioni before continuing to the active Punta Carena Lighthouse, in operation since 1867 and situated on Capri's southwestern headland.
The boat anchors near a quiet fishing village, giving passengers approximately thirty minutes to swim and snorkel in calm, clear water. Snacks are available on board before and after the stop.
Passengers disembark and have three to four hours to explore the island independently. The Piazzetta at the town center, local restaurants, and the narrow streets lined with artisan sandal shops are among the recommended stops.
The group reunites at the agreed time, boards the vessel back to the Sorrento area port, and returns to Naples via the shuttle, arriving at the original meeting point.
