A semi-private full-day cruise around Capri with snorkeling stops, grotto views and about four hours to explore the island town. Ideal for travelers who want a mix of on-water scenery and independent time ashore.

The boat slips away from Sorrento’s pier and the Tyrrhenian Sea opens like a wide, light-steeled road. Salt air presses at the rail as limestone cliffs of Capri rise, sun-struck and pocked by caves. On this small-group cruise you move slowly around the island’s rim—past the Faraglioni stacks, under the shadow of Casa Malaparte, and into emerald-lit grottoes—before being set ashore for roughly four hours to explore the town.
