Set Sail from Amalfi to the Stunning Capri Coastline
Your unforgettable adventure begins at the Darsena Pier in Amalfi, where your sleek boat awaits. Greeted by your friendly English-speaking trip leader and expert skipper, you’ll raise a glass of chilled prosecco to celebrate the journey ahead. As you set sail, the vibrant Amalfi Coast unfurls before you, with dramatic cliffs, colorful fishing villages, and verdant lemon groves, setting the stage for an incredible day at sea.
With a small group of only 12 guests, this semi-private experience ensures you have plenty of space to relax, soak in the beauty around you, and savor every moment. As the boat glides through the sparkling Mediterranean waters, the island of Capri begins to rise on the horizon, offering a glimpse of its dramatic limestone cliffs and mythic beauty.
Cruise to Capri – A Glimpse into History and Nature
As you cruise along the coast, your first stop is at the Punta Carena Marine Park, a hidden gem with sapphire-blue waters and rich underwater rock formations. It’s the perfect spot for a refreshing swim or a bit of snorkeling — the visibility here is incredible! After your dip, the island of Capri looms ahead, its allure undeniable.
The ancient ruins of Tiberius' Imperial Palace come into view, reminding you that Capri was once a retreat for Roman emperors. Your guide will share tales of Tiberius and the pivotal moments that shaped the Roman Empire, adding depth to your scenic journey. Continuing along the coastline, you’ll pass some of Capri’s most famous landmarks, including the Natural Arch, Villa Curzio Malaparte perched on a cliff, and the iconic Faraglioni sea stacks. Each of these sights is best appreciated from the sea, offering a unique perspective of the island.
Explore Capri’s Unforgettable Coastline
Before docking at Marina Grande, your boat will circle the island, offering the chance to experience the rugged beauty of Capri’s coastline from the water — a view that many visitors miss. Marvel at the majestic Faraglioni rocks, pass beneath the Natural Arch, and sail by the Punta Carena lighthouse, one of Italy's oldest. There’s even time for a swim near the Faraglioni, where the turquoise waters create a breathtaking backdrop.
OOn board, enjoy light snacks as you sip on chilled prosecco or refreshing water. Take in the Mediterranean breeze, soak up the sun, and let the day unfold at a relaxed, carefree pace.
Free Time to Discover the Charm of Capri
Arriving at Marina Grande, you’ll have about 2.5 hours of free time to explore Capri at your own pace. Wander through the charming streets, visit the famous Gardens of Augustus, have lunch at a local restaurant or take a scenic funicular ride up to Capri Town, where you’ll find chic boutiques, charming cafés, and panoramic views. If you’re in the mood for a bit of adventure, your guide can help arrange a visit to the world-renowned Blue Grotto. Entry requires a small fee (€14), but it’s an experience not to be missed if the weather is right and the queue permits.
A Magical Final Swim at the Li Galli Islands
After exploring Capri, it’s time for the final stop of your journey: the legendary Li Galli Islands. This small archipelago, shrouded in myth, was once believed to be home to sirens who lured sailors to their doom. Today, the islands are privately owned, but the waters surrounding them remain as pristine as ever, offering the perfect spot for a last swim in the crystal-clear sea. Take a moment to soak in the beauty of the archipelago before the boat heads back toward Amalfi.
As you sail back to Amalfi, enjoy one last glass of prosecco or a shot of homemade limoncello, a fitting tribute to the flavors of the Amalfi Coast. Your day concludes with memories of hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, and timeless stories — the essence of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, experienced in the most magical way.

This tour is the best if you want to swim in the most beautiful waters you have ever seen. We did it in the second week of October, and the weather was perfect. A two-hour stop in Capri is included in the trip. Magnificent views of the coast, although very crowded! Lucia, our guide, was attentive and kind. Her beautiful smile and warm demeanor definitely made us feel welcome and relaxed. Thank you for your hospitality!

Tour started on time. The boat was amazing and could easily fit all 12 of us. On the way to capri we stopped for a 15 minutes dive. We arrived at capri at 12pm and had free time till 3pm. However our boat couldn't get a slot to dock and pick us up before 4 pm. After capri we went for another 15 minutes dive and headed directly to Amalfi passing fast through Li galli islands. The grottos were totally ignored. We didn't go or see and of them. We were very pisses, but the boat trip was fun and we enjoyed the great views.

We met our tour guide on the port on time. The boat was amazing and could easily fit us all (12 in total). We head to Capri, on the way we stopped for 15 minutes to dive in the water. In capri we had 3 hours (12-3 pm)-use it to go to blue grotto if you want. However the boat got a slot to dock and pick us up at 4pm. After that we went for another 15 minutes of dive, and headed back to amalfi. We didn't enter any of the grottos :(, and we passed by Li Galli Islands really fast. :( On the way, there were sandwiches, water, prosecco and some snacks. We were very pissed that the grottos were skipped, but the rest of the tour was quite nice, hence 4 stars.
