You step off the quay at Marina Grande and the sea answers: a salt-sweet wind, the hollow thrum of diesel, gulls cutting close to vertical cliffs. A low-capacity Sorrentine boat slips away from shore and the island’s rock face scrolls past — caves, arches, and the jagged silhouettes of the Faraglioni rising like stone markers from the blue.

History
Capri has been a luxury retreat since Roman times; Emperor Tiberius consolidated imperial power here and left remnants such as Villa Jovis on the island’s eastern ridge.
Conservation
The bay is sensitive — avoid anchoring on Posidonia beds, use reef-safe sunscreen and take all trash back to shore to minimize pressure on marine habitats.
Reserve your spot on the Small Group Capri Island Boat Ride with Swimming and Limoncello today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive early at Marina Grande
Meeting point is under the white umbrellas at 1:30 pm; arrive 20–30 minutes early if you need to find parking or the ferry pier.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The boat stops for swims—use sunscreen that won’t harm Posidonia seagrass and reapply after swims.
Wear water shoes
Boarding from low docks and scrambling onto the boat can be slippery; water shoes protect feet and improve grip.
Carry a small waterproof bag
Keep phone, cash and a light layer dry during swims and when the boat cuts spray close to cliffs.
Swimsuit
Needed for swim and snorkeling stops in clear Mediterranean water.
summer
Towel and change of clothes
