Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri. Total duration 7 hours. Meeting options listed below — choose one when booking.
Departure details — meet at the pier
Choose your meeting point from the two options below. Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time with any luggage you bring for the day. The boat name is "Sorriso." Option 1: Port of Sorrento (main pickup point on the pier). Option 2: Pier in front of Bagni Nettuno, Marina di Cassano (Piano di Sorrento).
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes early to allow time to locate the pier and the boat named "Sorriso."
- Have a printed or digital voucher and a photo ID ready for the skipper at check-in.
- If you use Option 2 (Bagni Nettuno, Marina di Cassano), follow local signage to the small public pier — it is a different location from the main Sorrento port.
Embark and sail to Capri
Board the private boat and enjoy the scenic crossing of the Gulf of Naples toward Capri. The captain will provide safety briefing and outline the day's plan.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep sun protection (hat, sunscreen) handy for the open crossing.
- Store small personal items in a soft bag — space below deck is limited.
- Motion-sensitive guests should consider light medication; crossings are typically smooth but can be choppy in wind.
Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) visit — weather permitting
If sea and weather conditions allow, the captain will attempt a visit to the Blue Grotto. Entry to the grotto is subject to local small-boat queueing and an entrance fee paid on site.
Tips from local experts:
- Blue Grotto entry depends on sea state; the captain will advise on arrival — plan alternatives if not possible.
- Bring small-denomination cash if you wish to enter the grotto (entrance fee is payable on site).
- Expect brief waits outside the grotto entrance — your captain will manage time to minimise delays.
Cruise past the Faraglioni & swim/snorkel stops
Scenic cruising along Capri's coast, passing the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks. The captain will select calm coves for swimming and snorkelling from the boat; snorkel gear and towels are provided on board.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear swimwear under light clothing for quick access to swimming; towels and snorkel equipment are provided on board.
- Secure cameras and phones when entering the water; a floating strap is useful for sea photos.
- Follow the skipper's safety briefing for water entry/exit points — depths vary near coves.
Lunch stop at Marina Grande (waterside restaurants)
Dock near Marina Grande or choose a waterside restaurant for lunch. The cost of lunch is not included. If you disembark at the port of Capri a local disembarkation fee may apply (see exclusions).
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer to avoid the port disembarkation fee, tell the captain you want to remain on board and have the boat dock at a waterside restaurant for lunch.
- Reserve time for a leisurely lunch; many waterfront restaurants can seat small private groups but check accessibility if you have mobility needs.
- Try a light local seafood dish or a Caprese for a quick, typical meal that suits a relaxed schedule.
Free time in Capri — La Piazzetta or Anacapri option
After lunch you have free time to explore Capri's main square (La Piazzetta), browse boutiques, or disembark for a short trip to Anacapri (chairlift optional) if time allows. Return to the boat at the agreed time for the afternoon cruise back.
Tips from local experts:
- Set a clear rendezvous time and place with the skipper before disembarking to avoid delays when re-boarding.
- If you may visit Anacapri, budget time for the funicular or local bus — uphill routes include steps and some walking.
- Carry a small amount of cash for local purchases and be mindful of narrow streets with cobblestones; wear comfortable shoes.
Return to Sorrento with onboard aperitivo
Re-board and enjoy a relaxed sail back to Sorrento. The crew will serve snacks, drinks and an aperitivo as you approach the Sorrento coastline.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep any belongings from shore organized to speed re-boarding; the skipper will confirm a boarding window.
- Enjoy the aperitivo on deck — have a light jacket for the return crossing as evenings can be breezy even in summer.
- If you need transport from Sorrento port on arrival (taxi or private transfer), arrange this in advance to avoid queues.
