The second largest lighthouse in Italy The lighthouse has been active since 1867. Its construction began in 1862 on a project by the Bourbon engineers and is one of the largest lighthouses in Italy in terms of size and power, after the one in Genoa. It consists of an octagonal masonry tower with lantern and gallery, placed above a two-storey building for the lighthouse keeper. The lighthouse was recently repainted and is now white with red vertical stripes. The caretaker's house is red. The headlight is equipped with a rotating optic that emits flashes of white light with a period of 3 seconds. The focal plane is 73 meters above sea level. The lighthouse has a range of 25 nautical miles (approximately 46 km), and is therefore referred to as a deep-sea lighthouse.
Visit at a safe distance we will stop at a distance where you can take a picture The Green Grotto, known in ancient times as the Cave of the Turks, is a cavity located on the southern side of the island of Capri, in Campania, known above all for the color of the water in its interior which, due to particular plays of light, takes on the color green. The Green Cave has been known since the 16th century, during which the island was repeatedly subjected to enemy attacks; they are infamous for attacking the island, for example, the pirate Dragut and the privateer Khayr al-Din called Barbarossa, who destroyed the castle of the same name
Stop at the famous Faraglioni being the symbol of Capri we will stop for some photos! the stacks are three and are called: Stella, connected to the island: 109 meters (358 feet) high. Mezzosoprano: 82 meters (269 feet) in height. Scopolo (or Fuori): 106 meters (348 feet) high. The blue lizard (Podarcis siculus coeruleus) is endemic to this stack.
We'll pass the cave, but we won't get in, it'll only be visible for a souvenir photo
The Rock of the Scugnizzo On a rock there is a statue representing a boy called the urchin but his real name was Gennarino, he greeted the people on board the boats to give the welcome to Capri
Stop in the Marina Piccola area where you will find the crystal clear waters in front of the stacks, you can dive, swim, have lunch, eat a snack, drink your favorite drink (snack meals not included) or simply relax in the sun listen to your favorite music, celebrate the your day on the boat.

Wonderful afternoon spend with Enzo, who was our captain/skipper, a very nice and chatty guy😎 FYI, the tour is a private one and the boat is small thus best suited for 2-4 persons. No changing room no bathroom on the boat though... Definitely recommend the trip. water and coke available to grab, bonus👍 Must give a thumb up and shout out to Enzo again,yay🙌 ask him to play his best 90s songs playlist and you will love it😍
Thank you for your feedback! It was a pleasure having you on board. I’m glad you enjoyed the day, although I’d like to clarify a few points to better help future guests understand our unique experience. Our 3-hour tour on the traditional Gozzo is designed as an intimate, authentic, and cultural experience, rather than a standard, 'run-of-the-mill' sightseeing trip. That’s why I take pride in sharing the history and secrets of Capri—like the story behind the Green Grotto—so you can truly appreciate the island beyond just seeing it. Regarding the music, I’m surprised by your comment! I was happy to let you connect to our Bluetooth system so you could play your own favorite songs, which I actually enjoyed listening to with you. As for the vessel, our 7.50-meter Gozzo is spacious and comfortable; while it is certified for up to 8 passengers, we limit it to a maximum of 5 to ensure our guests have plenty of room to relax—you had huge space for just the two of you! Regarding amenities, these traditional boats are chosen for their style and heritage rather than for having onboard bathrooms. We always suggest that guests check boat specifications or contact us beforehand if these facilities are a priority. There are many 'mass-tourism' operators in Capri that offer different setups, but we are proud to offer a more personal and traditional service. Thanks again for joining us, and I hope you enjoyed the beauty of our island!
Such a relaxing and unforgettable tour of beautiful Capri. Enzo was incredible—he took amazing photos and videos for us, shared fascinating insights about the island’s history, and brought us to some stunning swimming spots. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Skip the large commercial operators and book with a local who genuinely loves and knows the island. The personal touch made all the difference. Highly recommended—Enzo is an absolute legend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was a true pleasure meeting you and showing you the beauties of my island. I am so happy that you appreciated the personal touch and that the memories (photos and videos) are worthy of the fantastic day we spent together. I hope to see you back on board the classic Gozzo soon for another unforgettable day. Sending you a big hug! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and enjoy Capri and Italy!
We booked Enzo’s tour because he had great reviews online and the reviews were spot on! we did the 3hour boat tour at sunset with Enzo and I could not recommend it enough! Enzo is so friendly and knowledgeable about the island. We had so much fun with him. Will definitely book him again.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌟 I’m really happy you enjoyed the sunset tour — it’s one of the most magical times to experience Capri from the sea. It was a pleasure having you on board and sharing stories and laughter together! Hope to see you again soon for another amazing adventure around the island! ⛵💙 – Enzo, your skipper in Capri
We enjoyed every moment of our boat tour! It was belissimo! Enzo was great, very sweet and friendly! He took lots of pictures of us, told us about the history of different places. The whole experience was bellissimo! One day before the tour he sent me messages on Whatsapp with the directions regarding the meeting point and his recommendations which helped a lot! We are glad we had a beautiful day out with Enzo! Worth the money!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌟 I’m really happy to know you had such a beautiful day around Capri and enjoyed every moment of the tour. It was a real pleasure having you on board and sharing the island’s stories and secret spots with you! I hope to see you again soon for another “bellissimo” adventure on the sea! ⛵💙 – Enzo, your skipper in Capri
We booked this tour with Waves of Capri through Viator and we had an amazing time! It was truly a unique experience and it made all the difference in our trip. Why? Because of Enzo, our skipper! He’s not just a guide – he’s a true Capri icon, a viral skipper on TikTok, and most importantly, someone who gives you the chance to experience the island the traditional and authentic way. Thanks to him, we didn’t just visit Capri – we lived it: laughter, stories, hidden spots, crystal-clear water… all in a fun and friendly atmosphere, like spending the day with friends. Earlier in our trip, we also did another boat tour along the Amalfi Coast (not with them), which people said was “amazing,” but honestly, it was nothing special. We’re so glad we didn’t book Capri with that company. Choosing Enzo was the best decision we made! If you want to experience the real Capri, with heart, tradition, and unforgettable vibes, book with Waves of Capri and Enzo. You won’t regret it – in fact, you’ll want to do it all over again!
Wow! What an amazing review — thank you so much! 🌟 It truly means a lot to me to know that you felt the real Capri spirit during our tour. I always try to share not only the beauty of the island, but also its energy, stories, and traditions. I’m really happy that you had fun and felt like spending the day with friends — that’s exactly the vibe I want everyone to experience on board! Hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable adventure around Capri! ⛵💙 – Enzo, your skipper in Capri
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was truly an unforgettable experience! The boat was comfortable and perfect for exploring every hidden corner of the island. Our skipper was friendly, professional, and made us feel at ease from the very beginning. We had the chance to swim in crystal-clear waters and admire the sunset in a magical atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Capri from the sea in an authentic and relaxing way. I will definitely come back!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 🌟 I’m really happy to know you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable on board. Capri is always magical, and sharing its hidden spots and sunsets with great guests like you makes my job a real pleasure. Hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable day at sea! ⛵💙 – Enzo, your skipper in Capri
Enzo was very knowledgeable about the area. Very concerned with safety, he is very personable, and made our tour memorable, thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and felt safe and comfortable. It was a pleasure having you on board, and I hope to welcome you back to Capri for another adventure soon!
We thought this was a great experience, but the best part was the skipper Enzo, who was just fantastic. He provided a lot of history and did not rush through the experience. Separate from the boat or the tour guide, the water was very choppy, probably because we did the tour a day after thunderstorms. The boat is small, so it was all a little stressful bouncing up and down on “high” waves. We were thankful for Enzo’s experience because he navigated the boat beautifully!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for your kind words about our skipper Enzo, who always puts passion and experience into his work. 💙 We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour, even though the sea was a little choppy that day. Especially in September, even in high season, the intense boat traffic around Capri can create larger waves than expected. Many guests imagine finding a perfectly calm sea, but being on a busy island, this is not always possible. What we can guarantee is the professionalism of our skipper and the safety of a very reliable boat, designed to handle the sea with much greater stability compared to other models that roll more. We are sorry if the waves caused a bit of stress, but we are glad you appreciated Enzo’s skill in navigating and making the experience enjoyable and safe. For truly calm waters one would need to visit a mountain lake 😊 — but in Capri, you will always find the unique beauty of the island and its authentic sea. Thank you again for choosing us, and we send you our warmest greetings from Waves of Capri and Enzo Skipper.
We went out for the day with Enzo, from the moment he introduced himself he was full of energy and excitement for the trip. He had stories and facts about every part of the island which kept us entertained the whole day. He took us to the best swimming spots and fed us with snacks and Prosecco. I couldn’t rate this tour any higher. Such a great day, thanks Enzo!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🥂 It was a real pleasure to share the magic of Capri with you and show you the island’s most special spots. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour, the stories, and the moments of relaxation at sea. Hope to see you again soon for another adventure together! Enzo 🌊⚓️
Our boat tour with Enzo was truly the highlight of our trip. He was incredibly informative, and it’s clear he has lots of first-hand knowledge of the island, having grown up on Capri. His passion for the island and what he does really shines through. If you're looking for a skipper and company who genuinely love what they do—and are fantastic at it—don’t hesitate to book with Waves of Capri. Thank you, Enzo, for making our holiday even more memorable!
Thank you from the heart for your wonderful words! 💙 I’m so happy the tour was such a special part of your trip. Growing up in Capri, it’s always a joy for me to share the island’s magic, stories, and hidden corners with new friends. I truly hope to welcome you back on board soon for more memories together! 🌊⚓️ Enzo
