Details

Situated along Italy's famed Amalfi Coast, Sorrento offers an iconic gateway to the island of Capri, a jewel of Mediterranean blue waters and rugged limestone cliffs. PdG Boat Tours provides an intimate way to witness Capri's breathtaking seascape aboard a private boat, delivering an experience that blends adventure, relaxation, and local culture in one seamless day. The Capri Full Day Boat Tour invites couples and families to sail off the vibrant Sorrento harbor into the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea, where the story of Capri’s unique coastline unfolds.

The tour highlights include visits to the island’s renowned Blue Grotto, a cavern where sunlight filtering through underwater cavities illuminates the cave with an ethereal sapphire glow. Beyond the grotto, the tour meanders around Faraglioni, the island’s majestic sea stacks rising drastically from the waters, creating striking photographic moments. The rocky coastline here is sculpted from limestone rock, weathered into caves and arches with clear views of Punta Carena Lighthouse.

Personalized dining on board reflects the region’s culinary heritage, offering fresh Mediterranean fare that pairs naturally with the ocean breeze. Unlike large commercial cruises, PdG Boat Tours emphasizes a tailored experience allowing guests to anchor and swim in secluded coves away from the crowds.

This private day trip stands out by balancing iconic landmarks with the freedom to tailor activities, capturing the laid-back yet vibrant "dolce vita" spirit of Capri. It complements Sorrento’s outdoor offerings, providing a waterborne perspective few tours match. For those seeking to blend sea, sun, and scenic splendor into a single day, PdG Boat Tours unlocks a memorable, authentic connection to one of Italy’s most prized coastal destinations.
