Itinerary
During the excursion it will be possible to reach the famous Blue Grotto. Admission costs €18 per person and, being one of the most visited attractions on the island, there can be high waiting times. If the wait exceeds approximately 45 minutes, it will not be possible to make the stop for the visit. A visit to the Blue Grotto is optional : those who prefer not to enter it can dedicate this time to other experiences or alternative stops during the tour. For those who want to visit the Blue Grotto without sacrificing, we recommend the private half-day tour (4 hours), which includes guaranteed parking even in the presence of long queues.
The lighthouse, with its majestic presence, stands on one of the westernmost points of the island of Capri, and for over a century and a half it has illuminated the path of ships crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea with its beam of light.
The Green Grotto, known in ancient times as the Turks' Grotto, is a cavity located on the southern side of the Island of Capri, in Campania, known above all for the color of the water inside which, due to particular plays of light, takes on the green colour.
From the sea you can admire Monte Solaro, the highest peak on the island of Capri, which dominates the landscape with its grandeur and natural charm. Sailing along the coast, the view of this mountain rising over the blue of the Mediterranean offers a truly suggestive scenery. At the foot of Monte Solaro you can make a stop for a relaxing swim, immersed in clear and quiet waters, away from the confusion, to enjoy a moment of pure relaxation in contact with nature.
However, the best way to admire the Faraglioni is from the sea. The boat will pass under the arch of the Faraglione di mezzo: if you are in good company, exchange a kiss. It is said to bring good luck!
Villa Malaparte is a private home located on the island of Capri, on Capo Masullo, a steep and narrow rocky promontory, 70 meters long and 15 meters wide, which sinks into the blue-green waters of Cala del Fico.
The White Grotto is a natural cavity located in the eastern part of the island of Capri. The cave has a karst origin, meaning it was formed centuries ago following landslides and erosions due to the action of sea waves on the rocks.
Tradition dictates that visitors who have just arrived on the island of Capri - especially women - greet the street urchin Gennarino, the beautiful bronze statue located at the entrance to Marina Grande.
The Natural Arch is a rocky structure present, in the form of an arch, formed on the island of Capri, of natural origin, following exogenous and endogenous erosive processes that affected the rocks.

A very beautiful tour! Andrea is very kind and the boat is well maintained! Recommended.
The weather didn't turn out the way we hoped and our captain was keeping us updated and was transparent the whole time. He eventually had to make the call saying that it wouldn't be a pleasant experience if we went and ended up refunding us the deposit. We got the referral from a family member who went last year and she had an excellent experience. Based on the service I saw, that doesn't surprise me! I would trust in this boat ride service for the future!
We did the Capri island boat tour with Andrea and it was one of the best experiences of our trip to Italy. From the very beginning he made us feel comfortable — professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He knows Capri perfectly and during the tour he took us to incredible spots that we probably would have never discovered on our own. The boat was perfect, very clean and well kept, and the whole experience was both relaxing and fun at the same time. Seeing the Faraglioni, the caves, and the coastline from the sea is something we won’t forget easily. What we appreciated the most was the atmosphere: it felt more like spending the day with a local friend than being on a typical tourist tour. Andrea was always attentive, helpful, and made us experience Capri in the best possible way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Capri!
Loved having our own boat for a tour. This was the best way to see the whole island of capri and we had a nice driver who let us decide what exactly we wanted to do.

Spectacular tour, Captain Marco very attentive and, it was all very nice Great facilities, finally walk. Fantastic.
This boat tour was pure magic and easily the highlight of our Capri getaway. Stefano was a fantastic captain—friendly, relaxed, and full of local stories and history that truly brought the island to life. We cruised past iconic cliffs and grottos, swam in the most stunning turquoise waters, and enjoyed our own local lunch and drinks onboard. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Four hours was the perfect amount of time to soak it all in, especially if you’re only visiting for the day. Can’t recommend it enough!
It was great, we couldn't get into the blue grotto because the weather didn't allow it, but the rest we enjoyed very much. The Guide very friendly and attentive.
Incredible experience. Andrea was a wonderful host and so incredibly accommodating. This was by far my favorite experience of my vacation so far, don't hesitate to book this activity!
A beautiful day on the boat! The boat is comfortable , clean and equipped with every comfort! Andrea an experienced captain helpful and very kind. worth it!!! Marianna
