Details
The island of Capri sits just off Italy’s southwestern coast within the Metropolitan City of Naples, a jewel of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Known for its towering limestone cliffs, striking Blue Grotto, and vibrant Mediterranean vegetation, Capri offers a distinct outdoor escape framed by both dramatic seascapes and centuries-old charm. Little Prince Charters introduces an intimate way to connect with this iconic isle through its Capri Full Day | Private experience, a tailored boat tour that’s a true standout among coastal adventures.
Launching from the bustling Calata di Massa harbor near Sorrento, this private sailing tour journeys across crystalline waters along the Sorrento or Amalfi coastline en route to Capri. The distinctive geology of the island unfolds from the sea: rugged cliffs shaped by marine erosion and dotted with historic sea caves like the famed Grotta Azzurra, glowing with ethereal blue hues caused by sunlight refracting underwater. The tour offers several opportunities to dive into inviting azure coves where the only soundtrack is the splash of your swim.
Onboard, a curated selection of gourmet snacks and refreshing drinks complements the tranquil rhythm of the waves, emphasizing a luxury-aligned yet relaxed vibe. Guests enjoy the flexibility to pause for photography, snorkeling, or personal exploration of Capri’s charming harbors — including Marina Piccola and the less trafficked Marina Grande.
Little Prince Charters uniquely fits into the Naples outdoor scene by combining personalized service with expert local knowledge, creating a private vantage point from which to appreciate the island’s natural beauty and cultural history dating back to Roman times. It provides the kind of immersive day that lingers in memory: sun-dappled water, striking coastal views, and the freedom of a bespoke maritime adventure just off the Italian mainland.
