Capri By Boat: Premium Small-Group Day Trip From Sorrento
Cruise to the island with a skipper & snorkel swim stop, plus prosecco, fruit, and a sandwich lunch

Follow Capri’s shoreline for cave views and coastal towns, then decide whether to add the optional Blue Grotto visit. Once on Capri, enjoy 4 hours of free time to see the iconic Piazzetta and gardens. Finish the tour with snorkeling, a caprese sandwich, and limoncello on your way back to the Sorrento marina.

Tour Itinerary

1
Your tour begins at Sorrento Port, Marina Piccola
Step aboard the boat at Sorrento’s Marina Piccola and meet your skipper. Start with a quick safety briefing, then enjoy prosecco and fresh fruit as the boat slips into the morning light. -
2
Cruise the Sorrento Peninsula coastline
Soak up cliffside views as you pass Marina Grande and the rugged edges of coastal town, Massa Lubrense. Sea air, salt spray, and easy conversation on deck make this commute feel like vacation. -
3
Circle Capri’s icons from the water
Round Capri slowly, pausing for the views you came for: the limestone Faraglioni rocks rising from the sea, Punta Carena’s lighthouse, and cave-lined coves where the water shifts from cobalt blue to jade. -
4
Decide on the Blue Grotto stop
If conditions and queues allow, choose to make an optional Blue Grotto visit (€18 per person, paid on site). If you decide to skip it, stay in the sun and keep chasing the best angles on your way to Capri. -
5
Take free time to explore Capri
Disembark and enjoy about 4 hours of island free time. Wander to the Piazzetta for espresso and people-watching, then stretch your legs at the Gardens of Augustus or ride up to Anacapri. -
6
Swim and snorkel in open water
After free time, return to the boat for a swim stop in the clear water and use the snorkeling gear provided. Dry off, then snack on a Caprese sandwich, soft drinks, and beer, and settle back as the coastline drifts by. -
7
Your tour ends at Sorrento’s Marina
Cruise home with one last scenic stop near Queen Giovanna’s Bath, a cove with ruins of an ancient Roman villa. A limoncello tasting closes the day on a sweet, sun-warmed note as your arrive back into the marina.
