The boat slips away from Marina Grande and the island of Capri opens like a map—sheer limestone cliffs, a scatter of villas, and the Faraglioni rocks rising from the blue. Guests settle on deck with prosecco in hand as the skipper threads the channel, the sea pushing the hull forward and the wind shaping the day.

Tide can close the Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto is subject to tidal and weather closures; plan flexibility and know the crew may replace it with other grotto visits.
Protect against sun and spray
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat—reflected sun off the water intensifies UV exposure.
Wear grippy shoes for boarding
Decks and small skiff transfers get slippery; lightweight water shoes improve traction and comfort when climbing in and out.
Motion-sickness precautions
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before departure and choose mid-day departures when seas are often calmer.
