Private Gozzo Boat Transfer Between Sorrento and Capri
A dedicated, queue-free crossing aboard a traditional Sorrento vessel
This private boat transfer Sorrento to Capri offers a comfortable, fully dedicated crossing aboard a classic Sorrento gozzo, removing the stress of crowded ferry terminals and unpredictable schedules.
The service operates in both directions, allowing travellers to depart from Sorrento toward Capri or from Capri back to Sorrento, depending on their itinerary. The gozzo is a sturdy, traditional wooden boat native to the Campanian coast, well suited to the waters of the Gulf of Naples.
Unlike public ferry lines, this transfer is reserved exclusively for your group, meaning no shared deck space, no queuing at ticket booths, and no adjusting your plans to fixed timetables. The crossing itself offers open views of the coastline and, on clear days, the silhouette of Vesuvius in the distance.
