Spend a private day on the water around Capri, snorkeling emerald coves and threading little-known grottoes with a local captain. This full-day yacht trip combines iconic sea views with off-the-beaten-path stops for swimming and caves away from the crowds.

The hull slips away from Marina Grande and the island opens like a sharp-edged map of limestone and green. Salt spray cools your face while the captain points toward a low, white cave where the sea turns glassy and emerald. Onboard, prosecco is chilled and a small group settles into the rhythm of the water — drifting, dropping anchor, and stepping into pockets of blue that feel private.

History
Capri was a prized Roman retreat — Emperor Tiberius built Villa Jovis on the island’s eastern cliffs — and many shoreline ruins echo that imperial presence.
Conservation
The coastal waters host protected seagrass (Posidonia oceanica); avoid anchoring on meadows, use mooring buoys where available, and prefer reef-safe sunscreen to reduce impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral or labeled reef-safe sunscreen to protect local seagrass (Posidonia) and avoid skin irritation in salt water.
Footwear for boarding
Wear non-marking deck shoes or sturdy sandals to climb on and off the boat safely at docks and rocky beaches.
Cash for port fees
Many embarkation points list extra fuel and private docking surcharges payable in cash aboard — bring small euros to avoid surprises.
Plan swim gear
If you want longer snorkeling sessions, bring a mask and fins; basic snorkel kits may be provided but fit varies.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
Essential for swimming stops and sunbathing on deck.
