Small Group Boat Tour of Capri Island
Discover Capri by sea and by land, at your own pace, with expert local guidance
This small group boat tour of Capri Island takes you on a full-day journey from the Sorrentine Peninsula to one of Italy's most celebrated destinations, combining coastal scenery, swimming stops, and free time ashore. The tour is rated Easy and is suitable for most travellers seeking a relaxed, enriching day on the water.
Departing from Molo 52 at Marina Piccola in Sorrento, the boat traces the dramatic coastline past Marciano, Mitigliano, and the ancient thermal ruins of Bagni della Regina Giovanna before rounding Punta Campanella into the waters surrounding Capri. The skipper narrates the route and navigates the boat close to landmarks that are otherwise inaccessible by land.
Once around the island, the itinerary includes close passes of the Punta Carena lighthouse, the Faraglioni rock stacks, the Green and White Grottoes, and the clifftop remains of Emperor Tiberius' Villa Jovis. Guests have the opportunity to swim in clear Mediterranean waters or remain on board to relax.
After the coastal circuit, the boat docks in Capri town, where three to four hours of free time allow independent exploration. Options include a ride up to Anacapri, a stroll along Via Camerelle, or a leisurely lunch at one of the island's many restaurants before the return sail to Sorrento.
