Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri on a Classic Gozzo 8.50
A full day on the water, exploring Capri's legendary coastline aboard a classic wooden Gozzo at your own pace.
This private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri offers an unhurried, fully personalized day at sea, with flexible stops tailored to your group's preferences and a skipper dedicated entirely to your experience.
Departing from one of several convenient ports in the Sorrento area, the tour crosses the Gulf of Naples before tracing the dramatic perimeter of Capri. Passengers encounter sea caves, ancient rock formations, iconic landmarks, and calm swimming coves throughout the day.
A complimentary shuttle from your hotel to the departure port removes the logistical stress of the morning, allowing the day to begin in comfort. Time ashore on Capri gives guests the chance to explore the island independently before returning to the boat for the sail back.
The classic Gozzo 8.50 is a traditional wooden vessel well suited to coastal navigation, offering an authentic maritime atmosphere that larger or more modern craft cannot replicate.
Tour Highlights
Sail past the Faraglioni, three towering sea stacks rising from the Mediterranean and among Capri's most recognized natural monuments.
Enter the White Grotto, where calcareous formations and stalactites create an otherworldly interior unlike anywhere else along the coast.
View Villa Jovis and Salto di Tiberio from the sea, gaining a perspective on Roman imperial history that land-based visits cannot provide.
Swim at Marina Piccola, a sheltered bay with clear, calm waters ideal for snorkeling or simply floating in the Mediterranean sun.
Pass Punta Carena and its lighthouse, one of the most visually striking and least-visited corners of the island's western coastline.
Visit the Natural Arch, a Paleolithic rock formation standing approximately 20 meters high and shaped over millennia by wind and sea erosion.
Disembark on Capri for a few hours of independent exploration, with the freedom to visit the town, Anacapri, or any spot that catches your interest.
Itinerary Overview
A complimentary shuttle collects guests from their hotel and transfers them to the departure port. The Gozzo sets off across the Gulf of Naples toward Capri's northeastern coast.
The tour begins with views of the dramatic cliff of Salto di Tiberio and the ruins of Villa Jovis before entering the White Grotto, where natural calcite formations line the cave walls and ceiling.
Continuing around the island, guests pass the Natural Arch and the Green Grotto before reaching the Faraglioni rocks. The boat passes beneath the arch between two of the stacks when conditions allow.
The boat anchors near Marina Piccola for a relaxed swim in sheltered, clear water. Snorkeling equipment and time to simply unwind are both part of this stop.
The route continues to Punta Carena lighthouse before approaching the Blue Grotto. Entry is via local rowboats, is paid separately on site, and depends on sea conditions on the day.
Guests disembark on Capri for independent exploration before rejoining the boat for the return crossing to Sorrento. The skipper coordinates timing to suit the group.
