TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Private Boat Excursion to Capri

This private boat excursion departs directly from the pier in Amalfi and spends the day exploring the island of Capri by sea.

After meeting your captain, you cruise along the Amalfi Coast, passing charming villages, hidden lagoons, and 16th century coastal watchtowers built to warn of pirate raids. Once you reach Capri, you have the chance to see the Blue Grotto, a sea cave known for the electric blue light created by sunlight refracting through the water, believed to have been used as a private swimming grotto connected to Roman Emperor Tiberius's villa complex on the island (entrance fee not included). You also pass the Faraglioni, three limestone sea stacks that have become the symbol of Capri.

Your captain then takes you to one of Capri's grottos, often the Green Grotto, a popular swimming spot known for its turquoise water, where you have the chance to swim if you wish. Beverages, snacks, towels, and fuel are included, and you are welcome to bring your own drinks, though red wine is not permitted on board due to staining risk. Your captain can suggest lunch options (meal not included), whether an exclusive bay with a seaside restaurant or a quieter spot in a village of your choosing. Marina Piccola, a popular anchorage for yachts, and Marina Grande, known for shopping, are both possible stops along the way.

The boat itself is 30 to 38 feet (9 to 12m) depending on your group size, with ample deck space and a cabin with a restroom and refrigerator. Shoes and sandals must be removed while aboard.

At the end of the day, you return to the pier in Amalfi.

Please note
  • NO wheelchairs. This is a boating excursion, not a guided walking tour; shoes and sandals must be removed while aboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the history of the Blue Grotto?
The Blue Grotto's brilliant blue light comes from sunlight passing through an underwater opening and reflecting off the white sandy floor. Archaeological finds inside suggest it may have been used as a private swimming grotto connected to Roman Emperor Tiberius's villa complex on Capri.
What are the Faraglioni?
The Faraglioni are three dramatic limestone sea stacks rising from the water off Capri's southeastern coast. They have become the island's unofficial symbol and are one of the most photographed sights in the region.
Is entrance to the Blue Grotto included?
No, the Blue Grotto entrance fee is paid separately on site and is not included in the tour price. Access also depends on sea conditions and may not be possible on rough weather days.
Can we swim during this excursion?
Yes. Your captain will take you to one of Capri's grottos, often the Green Grotto, for a swimming stop, and there are additional opportunities to swim along the Amalfi Coast if conditions allow.

›Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast - A full day land tour combining the Amalfi Coast drive with the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.

Reviewer: Carolyn M from Lake Mary FL  
Thank you so much. We enjoyed the guides you provided for us. We have ALREADY mentioned your company to others. I hope we were gracious enough for your people. We were a bit unsure what to tip and hope the guides were satisfied with what we did give. I really appreciate your attention to detail with our tours and we were extremely happy. Thank you.

Wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful tour on the 28th with Brice. He was on time, friendly, informative, and easy to be around. He changed the itenary to fit our wishes and was a welcoming host. As it turned out, that day was our favorite day of the whole trip. We thoroughly enjoyed him and wont hesitate to recommend you and him to friends and family. Thanks for being a part of making our trip special.
