Discover Sorrento Coast and Capri by Boat

A scenic voyage along one of the world's most celebrated coastlines, from ancient fishing villages to legendary sea grottos.


This Sorrento Coast and Capri boat tour offers a complete eight-hour journey across some of the most photographed waters in the Mediterranean. Guests depart from Piano di Sorrento and sail toward Capri, passing landmarks that have captivated travellers for centuries.

The route along the Sorrento Coast introduces passengers to the ancient fishing village of Marina Grande, the atmospheric ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall spilling down coastal cliffs. These stops paint a picture of the region's layered history before the island even comes into view.

On Capri, a dedicated boat tour circles the island's perimeter, bringing the Blue Grotto, White Grotto, Green Grotto, the Natural Arch, and the Faraglioni rock formations within close range. The afternoon is left open for independent exploration of the island on foot, giving guests time to discover its streets and character at their own rhythm.

The return leg to Sorrento includes a tasting of locally produced limoncello on board, rounding off the day with a flavour that is closely tied to this stretch of the Campanian coastline.

Tour Highlights

Cruise past the Blue Grotto, White Grotto, and Green Grotto during the full circumnavigation of Capri.

View the ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna along the Sorrento Coast.

Admire the Faraglioni rock formations and the Natural Arch, two of Capri's most iconic geological features.

Enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks on board, plus a limoncello tasting on the return voyage.

Spend three to five hours exploring Capri independently, at your own pace and on your own itinerary.

Take a refreshing swim at selected stops during the cruise around the island.

Pass Villa Curzio Malaparte and the Punta Carena Lighthouse, two architectural and scenic landmarks on Capri's coastline.
