Glide around Capri aboard a classic luxury gozzo—three hours of guided cruising, swim stops, and optional access to the Blue Grotto. Experience the island’s cliffs, Faraglioni stacks, and hidden green caves with a local skipper at the helm.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light slides over Capri’s limestone cliffs and the gozzo’s varnished wood gleams as it slips from Marina Grande. You feel the sea’s push, the sail-less hum of a well-kept engine, and the island opening up—coves of green water, vertical rock faces, and the Faraglioni rising like old sentries. In three hours a local sailor will guide you around the island, pausing for swims, explaining the geology that carved these caves, and pointing out the small human marks—Roman villas and wartime watchtowers—that dot the coast.
