The boat slides away from the Sorrento quay as early light paints the sea silver; wind and wake push you toward Capri, where limestone cliffs throw shade into hidden coves and the water smells of salt and sun. You’ll move between surface and sub-surface: mask on, fins set, the boat’s silhouette shrinking as Posidonia meadows and rock ledges open below.

Check sea conditions
Small-boat trips are sensitive to swell; confirm wind and sea state the morning of departure and be prepared for schedule changes.
Protect Posidonia meadows
Avoid standing on seagrass, use a float to rest, and follow the guide’s instructions about where to enter and exit the water.
Sun and glare protection
Bring a hat and reef-safe sunscreen for boat time, and polarized sunglasses to read surface currents and fish activity.
Footwear for boarding
Use slip-resistant water shoes for wet dock transfers and rocky landings; docks can be slippery when wet.
Mask & snorkel (personal fit)
Personal equipment ensures a secure seal and clearer vision in variable waters.
