Details

A boat trip around Capri offers an immersive journey into one of Italy’s most striking island landscapes. Capri Whales specializes in private boat tours that unlock the island’s treasures from the water—ranging from iconic sea caves to secluded swimming spots. Whether you choose a 3, 4, or 6-hour adventure, each trip is tailored to your preferences, making for a personalized experience punctuated by the shimmering coastlines and dramatic rock formations that define this Mediterranean paradise. As your boat glides past towering Faraglioni stacks, you’ll feel the spray on your face and hear the faint hum of the engine blending with the island’s natural sounds. The highlight often comes in the form of a visit to the Blu Grotto, where sunlight filters through a deep-sea opening, illuminating the vivid blue waters inside, a scene that seems almost otherworldly. Many trips also include opportunities to swim, snorkel, or simply relax onboard with panoramic views and optional lunch and refreshments, creating a flexible day that combines adventure with leisure. Essence of Capri comes alive from this vantage point, with boat captains who know hidden nooks and give insights into the island’s history, such as Villa Malaparte’s iconic architecture or local legends about the sea caves. This trip is a standout for visitors seeking both comfort and adventure, providing a unique perspective on Capri that’s unmatched by land-based tours. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just eager to see the island from a fresh angle, Capri Whales offers an experience that’s as enriching as it is exciting—a true highlight of any trip to Italy’s spectacular Gulf of Naples.
