FULL DAY CAPRIHOLIC 7 HOURS with PROSECCO
Description
If you are staying on the island for more than just a few days, I strongly recommend a full day at sea. We begin our day at sea ; you wake up at a leisurely hour and make your way to "Bar Gabbiano" in Marina grande, our meeting point in Capri. Once we have rounded Tiberius' Leap, we'll stop to visit the Grotta Bianca and have a nice long swim beneath the Faraglioni Rocks. for lunch: I can take you to one of the many waterfront restaurants along the coast ,including the La Fontelina beach club with a view of the Faraglioni, Torre Saracena in Marina Piccola, or Il Riccio, situated near the Blue Grotto. Enjoy the afternoon on board, relaxing and enjoying the sea and all the other grottos! Entrance to blue grotto is not included in the tour price.

Itinerary
The White Grotto, "Grotta Bianca" in Italian, is one of several scenic caves along a rugged coastline, on the eastern side of the island. It gets its name from the calcareous material that coats its sides. White stalactites hang from the roof of the high cave. The reflection off the caves and the sunlight make the water have this incredible turquoise colour.
Faraglioni rocks, the 3 spur rocks which rise up out of the sea, on the southern side of the island. These rocks each have a given name: the first still attached to the land is called Stella, the second is called Faraglione Di Mezzo (the one in between), the third one Faraglione Di Fuori or Scòpolo, meaning the head stretching into the sea.
A pretty little bay, with incredible shades of blue and turquoise shallow waters, which make it an ideal swimming spot.
The Green Grotto is one of a series of beautiful caves around Capri. Known locally as the "Grotta Verde", the water around the cave gives off a beautiful green colour, an effect caused by the reflection of light
The Lighthouse of Punta Carèna dominates the southwestern side of the island. "Fàro" in Italian, it was built in 1866 and is the second tallest lighthouse in Italy, after Genova. Looming behind are the precipice of "La Mìgliera" lined with defense walls built by the British at the start of 1900's .Caressed by crystal clear waters and bathed in the sun all day long .
The Blue Grotto, "Grotta Azzùrra" in Italian, is a sea cave on the coast of Capri. Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity, creates a unique blue reflection, that illuminates the cave. During Roman times, the grotto was used as a personal swimming hole of the Emperor Tiberius. Visitors will be able to enter it on small boats, provided by local personnel. Access ticket: € 14,00 p/p, not included in the tour price.
Casa Malaparte (also Villa Malaparte) is a house on Punta Massullo, on the eastern side of the isle of Capri, Italy. It is one of the best examples of Italian modern and contemporary architecture.Casa Malaparte is a red masonry box with reverse pyramidal stairs leading to the roof patio. On the roof is a freestanding curving white wall of increasing height. It sits on a dangerous cliff 32 metres above the sea overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. Access to this private property is either by foot from the town of Capri or by boat and a staircase cut into the cliff. Casa Malaparte's interior and exterior (particularly the rooftop patio) are prominently featured in Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film, Contempt (Le Mépris).[3]

We used Gianni’s Boat Tour 10 years ago and had a fantastic experience, so expectations were high. I’m happy to say it was every bit as good as I remembered. We left from Sorrento for a full-day Capri experience, and our captain, Carmine, was excellent professional, relaxed, flexible and completely tuned into the kind of day we wanted. We told him up front that swimming was important to us, and that we were happy to skip the Blue Grotto if the line was too long. He understood immediately and shaped the day perfectly. The ride from Sorrento to Capri was beautiful, the scenery was incredible, and the swimming stops were the absolute highlight. Capri itself is stunning but very crowded, and seeing it from the water is by far the best way to experience it. Carmine gave us the perfect balance of sightseeing, swimming and time on Capri without making the day feel rushed or overly touristy. Highly recommended. This was one of the standout full-day experiences of our Italy trip.
They were easy to communicate with to learn in more detail about each tour. Easy to book and accommodating when I needed to change the date of the booking. Gave very clear instructions on where to meet the day of the tour. Our boat was so nice and our boat driver Lorenzo was the best!! He was a great driver even in slightly choppy conditions, gave us information and fun stories about several unique spots on the tour. He made our day fabulous! It wouldn’t have been the same without him. Highly recommend the company and request Lorenzo! You won’t be disappointed.
As a family of six visiting Capri, our favorite experience was the full day private boat tour with Giannis boat with THE BEST Captain, Antonio! Antonio took us to all the great spots to swim, explore, and learn all about this incredible island. The boat comfortably accomodated six adults and Antonio kept the vibe fun and engaging the whole trip with great music, historical facts and a smooth ride to caves and coves! Highly recommend this unforgettable tour and be sure to ask for Antonio who we are happy to call our friend!
From start to finish, our Captain Lorenzo made us feel like we were old friends visiting and he was showing us the sights he grew up with. We didn't miss a thing; seeing the grottos and coves, opportunities to swim, and then a stop in Nerano at Conca del Sogno for one of the best and most fun lunches ever. We highly recommend Gianni's Boat tours, (but don't forget to ask for Lorenzo as your captain)!
We had an absolutely fabulous full day on the water with Lorenzo. He brought us to the best swimming spots around the island and insisted on taking great photos for us at certain spots. We actually used this boat day as a way to transfer from staying on Capri to staying in Positano so we brought our luggage on board with us and it was absolutely perfect. We were picked up on Capri, went all the way around the island with swim stops, then stopped in Nerano for lunch before being dropped at Positano at 4pm. I would highly recommend a full boat day using Gianni’s boats and using it as a travel day to maximize your time and not waste part of a day traveling on the ferry!
Amazing trip and really well done by our captain and host and loved our day! We would do this trip again in a heartbeat and all our best to our captain Lorenzo!
We had an amazing boat trip with Andrea! He took us all around Capri and we had a lovely time. We saw the grottos up close and we were able to swim off the boat. The customers service booking was great. Our Captain Andrea was fantastic. The boat was beautiful. I have booked with this company in the past and will book with them again in the future.
My wife and I did the private tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Pepe was the best captain and made it a special day. Unfortunately due to weather we were not able to go into the blue grotto, but Pepe made it very fun. We highly recommend to anyone who will be on Capri for more than a day. The only downside was that they said that no drinks (except Prosecco) were included so we had bought some for the boat; when we arrived Pepe had everything we would need. They made lunch reservations for us and was a great choice.
We celebrated my daughter’s 20th birthday in Capri they provided fruit, Prosecco and cake. Carmine was an amazing tour guide. We stopped and had lunch at a delicious restaurant. It was a beautiful day and I highly recommend Giannis!
If you go to Almalfi Coast a private boat around Capri is MUST and I'd definitely recommend booking with Gianni's Boat - and request Marco as your skipper! His English was good, excellent at taking photos and is boating skills absolutely incredible, getting into the coolest and smallest of Grotto even when it's a busy boating season - and also found us the secret cave swimming spots that were out of this world. We'd recommend stopping at a little restaurant called Bagni Tiberio - and doing the walking tour of Capri another day so you can spend most your time on the boat - we booked the Supergozzo boat. It is an expensive trip but having done a bit of research they were lower than some of the other companies recommended by the hotel. Linda who I did the booking through was a great communicator too - very easy to book and meet up. Thank you Marco for an amazing day.
