A private day on the water around Capri that combines grotto viewing, swims, a prosecco aperitif, and roughly four hours ashore to explore the town. Ideal for travelers who want a curated mix of snorkeling, sightseeing, and relaxed cruising.

Morning light slices the sea as a private hull parts the Tyrrhenian, and Capri’s cliffs climb out of the blue like pages of history. The boat eases close to grotto mouths and rock stacks; the captain cuts the throttle and the island’s soundscape—wind, gulls, laughter—fills the cockpit. You swim where sunlight paints the water from beneath, and later step ashore to walk cobbled lanes scented with lemon and espresso.

Arrive early to board
Plan to be at the meeting point 20–30 minutes before departure to load luggage and settle into your private boat calmly.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Capri enforces environmental protections in marine areas—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid skin irritation after a swim.
Wear water shoes
Many shore landings are on pebbles or ladders; water shoes protect feet and make boarding easier from small docks or rocky beaches.
Keep a dry bag for valuables
Salt spray is frequent; store phones, passports, and cameras in a small dry bag to prevent damage.
