Dolce Vita Private Sea Escape: 4-Hour Boat Tour Around Capri

Discover Capri's legendary coastline in total privacy, guided by a native islander who knows every cove and story.


A private Capri boat tour designed for those who want to experience the island's iconic landmarks without the pressure of group schedules or crowded vessels. Your native skipper navigates responsibly and shares the kind of local knowledge no guidebook can offer. From the Faraglioni to hidden sea caves, every moment on the water feels genuinely your own.

The itinerary takes in Capri's most celebrated coastal features, including the White Grotto, the Green Grotto, Punta Carena Lighthouse, and the famous natural arch, all observed at safe and legally compliant distances. The boat is equipped with a premium sound system, snorkeling gear, and refreshments so comfort is built into every stage of the journey.

This half-day escape suits couples, families, and small groups seeking an unhurried pace. The skipper adapts the route and stops to suit your preferences, whether that means more time in the water or longer pauses for photography at key landmarks.

Tour Highlights

Sail directly in front of the iconic Faraglioni rock formations, Capri's most recognizable symbol, for a dedicated photo stop.

Observe the White Grotto and Green Grotto from a privileged vantage point, with their shimmering colors and dramatic rock formations.

Pass by the Punta Carena Lighthouse, one of Italy's most scenic coastal landmarks, perched above wild rugged cliffs.

Drop anchor in calm, transparent coves away from mass tourism for a refreshing swim or a snorkeling session over the seabed.

Admire the celebrated Villa Malaparte and the famous Leap of Tiberius, two landmarks rich in history and architectural character.

Navigate with a Capri-born skipper who brings authentic island stories and local expertise to every stretch of the coastline.

Enjoy a welcome drink, chilled prosecco or limoncello, and music on board as you take in the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Tour Itinerary

1
Marina Grande and Baths of Tiberius

The tour begins at Marina Grande, where you will observe the ancient Baths of Tiberius along the shoreline. Your skipper will share historical context as the boat moves along the northern coast toward the Blue Grotto area.

2
Blue Grotto and Anacapri Lighthouse

3
Green Grotto, Faraglioni, and Natural Arch

Continuing along the southern coast, the skipper brings the boat to a safe distance from the Green Grotto so you can appreciate the water's color and the cave entrance. The iconic Faraglioni rocks come next, offering a dedicated stop for group photos, followed by the famous natural arch with its clear waters below.

4
Villa Malaparte, Leap of Tiberius, and Scugnizzo Rock

The eastern stretch of the tour takes in Villa Malaparte, visible from the water in its dramatic clifftop setting. You will also pass the historic Leap of Tiberius and the Scugnizzo rock before the boat heads toward a sheltered cove for swimming and snorkeling.

5
Swim Stop and Return

The skipper anchors in a calm, clear cove suited to the conditions of the day, giving you time to swim or snorkel with the provided gear. The boat then returns to Marina Grande to conclude the four-hour experience.
