The day

What the day on the water looks like.

  • You leave Sorrento and sail along the coast seen from the water — the villas, coves and caves you never see from the road — then the boat heads for Capri.
  • At the island, the trip to the Faraglioni passes right under the rocks, and there is the stop at the Blue Grotto: entry depends on the sea and the tide that day, and is paid separately to the official rowing boats.
  • This is a boat trip from Sorrento with swim stops: the skipper picks the swimming spots according to conditions — sea and wind set the route, and the order of the stops can change.

What you'll see

Capri, from the sea.

The island seen from its best side: the landmarks the Capri boat tour from Sorrento visits, or shows you from the water.

Boat trip to the Faraglioni of Capri
01

The Faraglioni

The three rock giants that symbolise the island: the boat passes alongside them and, when conditions allow, sails under the arch of the middle one.

The Blue Grotto of Capri — Capri and Blue Grotto boat tour
02

The Blue Grotto

The most famous cave in the Mediterranean, with its unreal blue light. Entry depends on the sea that day — and Capri has other, quieter caves too.

Marina Grande, the harbour of Capri with its colourful boats
03

Marina Grande

The island's only harbour, with pastel houses and colourful boats — where everyone lands, and the postcard that opens every tour.

The Gardens of Augustus in Capri, a panoramic terrace over the coast
04

The Gardens of Augustus

Capri's most famous viewpoint: the best look at the Faraglioni, if you go ashore in your free time.

Via Krupp in Capri with its hairpin bends above the sea
05

Via Krupp

Hairpins carved into the rock dropping to the sea — from the boat you see the whole shape of the path, impossible to take in from land.

The Natural Arch of Capri above the sea
06

The Natural Arch and the coves

The wildest side of the island: rock arches, coves and caves you can only reach from the water — where a boat trip from Sorrento with swim stops is at its best.

Open and ask →
Do you always get into the Blue Grotto?
No, it isn't guaranteed: entry depends on the sea and the tide that day, and is paid separately to the official rowing boats at the entrance. If it's closed, the skipper extends the tour around the island.
What's the difference between the Fun & Swim and the €179 boat tour?
Broadly the same itinerary. The Fun & Swim (from €119) favours swim stops; the boat tour (from €179) is the fuller version with more time sailing. Want the departures for your date?
How much time do you spend ashore in Capri?
It depends on the tour and the conditions: your free time on the island is confirmed by the skipper at departure. If that matters most to you, say so and I'll suggest the option with the longest stop ashore.
And if the sea is rough?
If conditions aren't safe the tour is cancelled or rescheduled, and we tell you before departure. Then it's your choice: a new date or a refund.

A day trip to Anacapri and Capri, with the boat tour around the island

Hotel pick-up at 7:30 and transfer to Sorrento harbour, ferry to Capri and shuttle to Anacapri, about an hour and a half of free time, lunch and two hours for shopping, then the boat tour around the island with commentary from the guide. Back at the hotel around 17:30.

Capri is a must-see

Very well planned and perfectly timed: the early start gets you to the chairlift (not included) before the queues, and it's an extra worth taking. The optional lunch was excellent, with reserved seats and a view. The guide made the day.

Good to know

Capri by boat, the answers.

The practical details before you step on board — and if something is missing, ask in chat.

Where does it start?
From Sorrento, with defined meeting points (pickup points). You confirm your exact spot in chat when you book.
Is entry to the Blue Grotto included?
The stop at the Blue Grotto is part of the itinerary, but entry depends on the sea and the tide and is paid separately to the official rowing boats at the entrance. If it's closed, the tour around the island is extended.
Are there swim stops?
Yes — this is a boat trip from Sorrento with swimming: the skipper picks the spots according to the day's conditions. Bring a swimsuit and a towel.
Can I book as one person?
Yes: it's a shared tour, and you can book as a solo traveller.
What should I bring?
Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and comfortable shoes. An extra layer for the trip back in the evening if you choose the day & night experience.
What happens if the sea is rough?
Safety decides: if conditions don't allow the trip, the tour is cancelled or rescheduled and you are told before departure — new date or refund, your choice. The route and the order of the stops can change with the wind in any case.
How do I book? Can I cancel?
No forms: tell the chat what you want, get the available options and a secure link to confirm and pay. Prefer a person? The team answers on WhatsApp at +39 342 551 7087.
Can I book for today or last minute?
Availability is checked in real time, so last-minute and sometimes same-day places are possible — give the date in chat and you'll be told what's open.
Is one day enough for Capri?
Yes, but only if it's well organised: the island is vertical, all climbs, steps and lanes, and getting around takes longer than you expect. That's the advantage of the boat tour — Capri in a day from Sorrento, with no logistics to handle.
How do you get around the island in your free time?
On foot, with the funicular from Marina Grande up to Capri town, or by bus and taxi to Anacapri. Cars are not allowed for non-residents.
Capri or Anacapri?
Ideally both, but not necessarily on the same day: Capri has the most iconic, liveliest spots, Anacapri is quieter and more panoramic, with Villa San Michele and Monte Solaro. With limited time, enjoy one properly — or see the island from the sea.
When is the best time?
Spring and early autumn: pleasant weather and fewer people. In summer the island is very busy, especially in the middle of the day — one more reason to see it from the water.
