The boat slips away from Marina Grande and the sea instantly takes charge — a cold, clean push against the bow, salt on your lips and cliffs rising like quiet walls. In two hours you’ll trace Capri’s coast: the green-glass of the Green Grotto, the white glow of the White Grotta, the red-veined shell of the Red Grotta and the three towering Faraglioni rocks that puncture the horizon.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The boat slips away from Marina Grande and the sea instantly takes charge — a cold, clean push against the bow, salt on your lips and cliffs rising like quiet walls. In two hours you’ll trace Capri’s coast: the green-glass of the Green Grotto, the white glow of the White Grotta, the red-veined shell of the Red Grotta and the three towering Faraglioni rocks that puncture the horizon.
Capri’s coastline is Palaeolithic limestone folded and eroded by millennia of waves and storms; caves formed where softer rock gave way and sea carved private rooms into the island. The Faraglioni are geological landmarks, their stacks remnants of a larger coastal ridge. Culturally the island has long been a draw for Romans and modern travelers alike — a place where small fishing traditions meet luxury tourism.
Practically, this private tour is run from a typical Caprese boat with a local multilingual sailor, life jackets, bottled water, soft drinks and snorkeling gear included. The two‑hour window allows swims from the boat and close approaches to grottos; know that the Blue Grotto is not part of this itinerary because of time and queue constraints. Weather and wind can shorten or lengthen legs of the route, so expect flexible timing.
Plan to arrive at Marina Grande earlier than your departure, wear non‑slip shoes for boarding, bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a light wind layer. For travelers coming from Positano, aim for midday departures—morning ferries there are often delayed. A private boat gives you control: swim, take photos, or lean back and let Capri’s coastline do the talking.

Capri’s sea caves are carved into limestone and have been referenced since Roman times when emperors used the island for retreats; the Faraglioni have served as navigational landmarks for centuries.
Stick to reef‑safe sun care, avoid leaving plastics on board and follow the crew’s guidance to minimize wake and disturbance near sensitive marine habitats.
