Discover Capri by Private Boat: Exclusive Gozzo Jeranto 750 Tour from Sorrento

Read the full experience

Set off from the charming coastal towns of Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, or Naples to uncover the sparkling turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs of Capri aboard the Gozzo Jeranto 750 Classic. This private boat tour, led by an experienced skipper, offers a unique way to experience one of Italy's most iconic destinations away from the crowds. Unlike standard group tours, this journey invites you onto a beautifully crafted traditional wooden boat, granting intimate access to Capri's legendary coastline and hidden natural wonders. The Gozzo Jeranto 750, known for its stability and elegant lines, allows guests to glide effortlessly across the Tyrrhenian Sea, savoring sweeping views of volcanic rock faces and the infamous Faraglioni sea stacks rising sharply from the water. One of the highlights of the tour is the visit to the Grotta Azzurra, or Blue Grotto, a spectacular sea cave renowned worldwide for its ethereal, azure light. Your skipper expertly navigates the narrow entrance, immersing you in the luminous blue glow as sunlight filters underwater and reflects off the cavern walls. Beyond the grotto, discover secluded coves perfect for swimming or snorkeling in calm, crystal-clear waters that are home to colorful fish and vibrant marine life. Each stop along the route offers fresh perspectives of Capri’s rugged limestone cliffs draped in Mediterranean vegetation, punctuated by ancient ruins and quaint seaside villages. Time on Capri itself is yours to explore independently; whether you ascend to the villa ruins of Emperor Tiberius, stroll the bustling piazzetta, or savor local cuisine with views of the sea, the island’s charm is undeniable. This private boat tour is more than an excursion—it’s an immersive experience into southern Italy's coastal culture and marine beauty, where personalized attention and expert local knowledge enhance every moment. Capri has long been a magnet for adventure seekers, artists, and travelers drawn by its dramatic scenery and historic allure. The Gozzo Jeranto 750 tour stands out as an authentic way to experience the island’s essence, from sea level with comfort and style. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to explore hidden corners, this private voyage unlocks the best of Capri’s serene, sun-drenched seascape.
