Itinerary
Day 1
Private 4‑hour gozzo cruise around Capri. Start at Marina Grande (meeting point), then a relaxed clockwise circuit of the island with several scenic passes, one longer swim/snack stop, and time to approach caves when safe.
Meet at Marina Grande — check‑in & boarding
Meet your skipper at the meeting point on the Marina Grande dock for check‑in, luggage stowage and a quick safety briefing before boarding your private gozzo.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early to secure the best bow seats for photos and sunsets.
- Bring a light layer for the early morning breeze—May mornings can be cool on the water.
- Ask the skipper about the plan for the day and any special requests (music, photo stops) before departure.
Board the gozzo & depart with Blucapri Boats
Step aboard your traditional wooden gozzo (skippered by a local) and depart Marina Grande. Short safety briefing and an intro to Capri's coastal highlights you’ll see today.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit at the bow for unobstructed views; hold onto belongings as you step on/off the boat.
- Confirm any dietary preferences for the on‑board tasting (tomatoes, prosecco) so the skipper can prepare.
- Keep your camera or phone in a waterproof pouch for candid sea‑level photos.
Punta del Capo & Gennarino statue (pass-by)
A quick pass-by of Punta del Capo where the playful spirit of Capri is symbolised by the local statue often called 'Gennarino' — a charming photo stop as you round the eastern headland.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the skipper to slow briefly for a bow photo with the headland in the background.
- This is a great spot for a first romantic selfie together — the light is soft in May mornings.
- If you prefer privacy, request the skipper to pause slightly further offshore for an intimate shot.
Tiberius' Leap — dramatic cliff pass
Cruise past the dramatic rocky promontory associated with Emperor Tiberius. The short pass offers dramatic cliff views and coastal panoramas.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand on the port side for the best cliff‑facing photos.
- Listen to the skipper’s short legend of Tiberius — a romantic way to connect with Capri’s history.
- Avoid leaning on railings while taking photos; the skipper will position the boat safely for views.
Red Grotto & White Grotto — quick cave passes
A sequence of short, colorful cave passes: the Red Grotto (mineral‑stained rock) and the White Grotto (bright stalactite formations). Expect vivid contrasts of rock and sea.
Tips from local experts:
- These are quick photo stops — keep a camera ready and choose the side with the best light.
- May usually has calm seas, but avoid expecting entry into every grotto — weather controls access.
- Whisper to save the moment — the caves and their colors make for a quietly romantic scene.
Casa Malaparte & Arco Naturale — architectural & natural highlights
Pass the iconic Casa Malaparte (striking cliff‑top modern house) and the Arco Naturale — Capri’s famous natural rock arch. Both are excellent from sea level for dramatic photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Tell the skipper if you'd like extra time at the Arco Naturale for photos — the light highlights the arch in May.
- If you enjoy architecture, note Casa Malaparte’s red facade — it makes a striking pairing with the blue sea.
- Bring sunglasses and a sun hat; reflections off the water are strong in spring.
Sail to the Faraglioni — sail through & photo moment
Sail close to I Faraglioni — the iconic three sea stacks of Capri. Your skipper can guide the boat for an optional passage through the central arch if sea and local rules permit — a truly magical moment.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the skipper about a closer pass through the central arch — it’s a quintessential Capri moment.
- The bow seat offers the most dramatic photos; consider swapping places for a partner portrait.
- If you want an extra‑romantic touch, ask the skipper to play soft music as you pass the Faraglioni.
Marina Piccola — main swim stop with prosecco & Luca’s tomatoes
Longer stop for swimming, snorkeling and an onboard tasting: freshly sliced 'cuore di bue' tomatoes from Luca’s garden with olive oil, plus chilled prosecco — served while you float or relax on deck.
Tips from local experts:
- Change into swimwear under a towel at the dock or bring a quick‑dry coverup for privacy.
- Share a prosecco toast at the start — it’s the special romantic moment of the tour.
- Store phones in a dry bag and ask the skipper for a floating camera if you want underwater photos.
Matermania Bay & Natural coastal scenery
A relaxed pass of Matermania—turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs—another beautiful spot to admire from the boat or for a quick dip if you prefer a second swim.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer a quieter swim than Marina Piccola, ask to stop briefly here for a more secluded feel.
- The cliffs reflect warm colours later in the morning — perfect for softly lit couple photos.
- Use reef shoes if you plan to step onto rocks for short swims — small pebbles can be sharp.
Cala Ventroso & Green Grotto quick passes
Short passes by Cala Ventroso and the Green Grotto (Grotta Verde) — watch for emerald water hues and the curve of Capri’s quiet coves.
Tips from local experts:
- These are brief scenic passes — let the skipper know if you want a slightly longer linger at the Green Grotto.
- The green light in Grotta Verde is best when the sun is higher; May usually gives good colour.
- If the sea is calm you may see small local fishermen — a romantic reminder of authentic island life.
Punta Carena Lighthouse — late morning pass
Pass by the dramatic Punta Carena Lighthouse — a picturesque southwestern headland often bathed in warm light; a popular sunset viewpoint from sea.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the skipper to slow briefly for a panoramic photo of the lighthouse and cliffs.
- This spot is a great preview if you plan to return for an evening sunset on land.
- Breezy conditions are common here — secure hats and light scarves before the pass.
Approach the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) — subject to sea conditions
Approach the famous Grotta Azzurra. Entry into the cave depends on sea conditions and local rowboat availability — if closed you’ll still enjoy the shimmering waters outside the cave.
Tips from local experts:
- Blue Grotto access is weather‑dependent; maintain flexibility and enjoy the approach even if entry isn’t possible.
- If entry is available, small rowboats take guests inside; be prepared for a short queue of visiting rowboats.
- For a romantic memory, plan to take a quiet moment on the bow while the skipper positions the boat near the cave.
Return to Marina Grande — slow cruise back & disembark
Leisurely return to Marina Grande. Disembark at the same dock where you started; the skipper can suggest nearby cafés or a scenic walk into Capri town if you plan to continue exploring.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the skipper for a recommended nearby terrace or restaurant for a post‑boat cappuccino or gelato.
- Collect any belongings and thank the crew; a small cash tip for a private tour is customary for a memorable experience.
- If you want to stay on the island longer, request directions to the funicular or taxi stand for a smooth transition ashore.
