Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri on a Classic Gozzo 7.50
A full day on the water, exploring Capri at your own pace aboard a classic wooden vessel.
A private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri offers a rare combination of flexibility, scenery, and genuine Mediterranean calm, far removed from crowded ferry terminals and packed excursion groups.
Departing from the Sorrento port area, the crossing across the Gulf of Naples takes you toward one of the most photographed coastlines in Europe. Along the way, the dramatic silhouette of Capri gradually comes into view, framed by clear Tyrrhenian waters.
The classic Gozzo 7.50 is a traditional wooden boat well suited to coastal exploration. Its shallow draft allows access to caves and coves that larger vessels simply cannot reach, giving guests a closer perspective on the island's geology and sea conditions.
Every itinerary on this tour is adjusted to the preferences of the group aboard. Whether you want extended time in the water, more stops at geological landmarks, or a longer visit to the island itself, the skipper will work with you to shape the day accordingly.
Tour Highlights
Sail past the Faraglioni rock stacks, three iconic formations rising from the sea that define the image of Capri worldwide.
Pass through the Natural Arch, a Paleolithic rock formation standing nearly 20 meters high, shaped entirely by wind and water over thousands of years.
Visit the Blue Grotto, where submerged sunlight creates a luminous blue glow inside the cave, one of the most striking natural effects in the Mediterranean.
Explore the White Grotto, decorated with white calcareous formations and delicate stalactites that line its entrance walls.
Swim at Marina Piccola, a sheltered bay with clear water and access to waterfront facilities, ideal for a mid-tour break.
View Villa Malaparte and Villa Jovis from the water, two architecturally and historically significant structures perched on the island's cliffs.
Cruise by Punta Carena and its lighthouse, one of the most powerful in Italy, set on a rugged promontory at the island's southwestern tip.
Itinerary Overview
Your private tour begins at one of several available ports in the Sorrento area. A complimentary hotel shuttle brings you to the departure point, where you board the classic Gozzo 7.50 and set course across the Gulf of Naples.
Approaching the island, you pass the cliff of Salto di Tiberio and the ruins of Villa Jovis, a former imperial residence visible from the water. The White Grotto marks the beginning of the coastal circuit, with its pale stalactite formations and calm interior waters.
The Natural Arch, one of the island's most recognized geological features, spans 12 meters in width and rises nearly 20 meters above the waterline. Nearby, the Green Grotto produces emerald light reflections that make it a favored stop for photography and swimming.
The route continues past the Faraglioni rock stacks and the angular outline of Villa Malaparte on its clifftop setting. Rounding the southern tip of the island brings you to Punta Carena, where Italy's second most powerful lighthouse stands above a series of rocky outcrops.
A swimming stop at Marina Piccola allows time in the water, snorkeling, or simply resting on deck. The bay is sheltered and accessible, with a small waterfront village nearby.
Guests may disembark on the island for independent exploration at their own pace. The Blue Grotto is also on the itinerary, with access by local rowboat subject to sea conditions and weather on the day.
