Capri Sunset Boat Tour from Sorrento

Golden hour on the water, grottos by dusk, and Capri after dark


The Capri Sunset Boat Tour takes you from the Sorrento coast across open water as the afternoon light turns gold, offering a perspective of the island that daytime visitors rarely witness.

Departing in the late afternoon, your small group boards a private boat and traces the Sorrento coastline past Roman ruins, a natural freshwater waterfall, and the traditional fishing village of Marina Grande, all while the sky shifts through warm evening tones.

Once at Capri, the tour rounds the island to visit the Marvelous Grotto, White Grotto, and Green Grotto, with stops to admire the Faraglioni rock formations, Natural Arch, Villa Curzio Malaparte, and the Punta Carena Lighthouse. A swimming and snorkeling stop and an on-board snack break complete the sea portion before you go ashore.

On land, you have three to five hours of free time to explore Capri at night, dining, shopping, or sitting in the famous Piazzetta as the island settles into its quieter evening rhythm before the boat returns you to Sorrento.

Tour Highlights

Cruise the Sorrento coast at golden hour with a glass of sparkling wine on board.

Visit three grottos around Capri: the Marvelous, White, and Green Grottoes.

Swim and snorkel in the clear waters surrounding the island during a dedicated stop.

Explore Capri on foot after dark with free time in the Piazzetta and along the village lanes.

Admire the Faraglioni rocks, Natural Arch, and Punta Carena Lighthouse from the sea.

Pass the ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna along the Sorrento coast.

Enjoy on-board snacks and drinks during a relaxing mid-tour break on the water.
