Itinerary
Your memorable tour starts from Sorrento, the price includes the pick-up from your hotel or meeting point to the port of departure. Jump on board and depart to Capri.
The White Cave is a sea cave located on the island of Capri, Italy. It derives its name from white incrustations of calcareous matter upon its sides, and from clusters of white stalactites which hang from the roof and fringe the entrance.
It is a sea cave located on the island of Capri, whose green light upon the rocks stems to be a composite effect due to blue light reflected and transmitted from the water, playing upon the yellowish-hued sides and roof of the cave.
A coastal and oceanic rock formation eroded and shaped by waves. The three rocks outcroppings peeking up from the sea create one of the most recognizable and captivating landscapes in the world!
Marina Piccola, a charming seaside village famous for its waterfront restaurants and crystal-clear waters. Here you can take a refreshing swim, or simply relax and soak in the Mediterranean atmosphere.
Cruise past Punta Carena, home to Italy’s second most powerful lighthouse. Set on a dramatic rocky promontory, this is one of the most scenic and lesser-known spots on the island.
Suspended above the turquoise sea, this huge rock has been naturally cut into the shape of a gigantic arch. The landscape is magnificent. Further down is the entrance to the Grotta di Matromani, a grandiose natural cave transformed in the Roman period into a luxurious nymphaeum, adorned in molten glass mosaics and stucco.
Our skipper will stop you on the Island where you will have about 3 or 4 hours to discover the island. Don't miss the chance to visit LA PIAZZETTA of Capri the city centre and its narrow streets full of hand made sandals shop.

Friendly guides, they spoke a lot of languages.
Skipper Antonio Grimaldi was great, super boat handling, very pleasant towards everyone. Great service, very good value for money, superb scenery, good advice, to be done again. Thank you for this wonderful day in Capri.
Would highly recommend this semi-private boat excursion to Capri from Sorrento. What we particularly liked was that we were grouped with people of similar age to us, who didn’t have kids and it this meant everyone on the boat was like minded (we were worried about being in a group with a load of kids given the time of year). The guides were brilliant, Roberto and Antonio (Bob and Tony). They gave us very useful intel on Capri before we explored the island, they were great fun on board and also provided drinks for us. Great day out
Roberto and Tony were great guides and were extremely helpful with recommendations and assistance for Capri.
We really enjoyed this boat trip and would happily recommend it. One of the biggest advantages was that they collected us directly from our hotel and dropped us back afterwards. It was one of the few operators offering this service, and it made the whole day much more relaxing. The boat itself was lovely, comfortable and well maintained. Soft drinks, beer and Prosecco were included, which was a nice touch, although they weren't proactively offered – you had to ask, which meant some people probably didn't realise they were available. The cruise around Capri was excellent, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out lots of interesting sights along the coastline. The Blue Grotto had extremely long queues on the day we visited, so we decided not to go in, which was the right decision for us. The only slight downside was at the end of our free time on Capri. We weren't aware that we needed to make our own way by taxi boat back to where our boat was moored, so there was a bit of confusion and a wait in the hot sun before we worked it out. A clearer explanation beforehand would have avoided this. Overall, though, it was a fantastic day out with great service and excellent value. A little more communication and more proactive drinks service would easily make this a perfect experience.
We had a great full day from sorrento to capri. Captain Giuseppe was so informative and tons of fun. We swam in hidden caves, had lots of time to explore capri and even bathed in a waterfall. We were well stocked with soft drinks, beer and then limoncello and prosessco on the way back. We made lots of new friends from around the world and it was a great day all round. Expensive initially but definitely worth it!
Rafael and Aldo were amazing guides alone the coast. They made it a very fun yet relaxing boat ride and were knowledgeable about the area. You can tell they have the tour down to a science because everything went so smoothly.
Extremely pleasant experience with Sarah and Antonio! Antonio is a very agile captain. We made 2 swimming stops, the kids loved it.
Excellent day, Guiseppe (1&2) made it, they really looked after us & made the tour. Small boat max 12 people was great, tour around Capri, pick-ups & overall experience great.
An unforgettable experience, a great way to visit Capri both by land and by sea, plus the guys on the boat are very friendly and made the boat tour truly enjoyable. Thank you and I highly recommend it.
