Details

Just south of Naples, the coastal town of Castellammare di Stabia serves as a gateway to one of Italy’s most iconic island escapes: Capri. CP Charter offers a full-day private boat experience that takes you from the bustling harbor directly into the heart of this Mediterranean jewel. The journey begins with panoramic views of the Sorrento coastline, where towering cliffs drop sharply into the sea and olive groves cling to sun-drenched terraces. The clear blue waters invite you for a refreshing swim before your boat pulls up to the legendary Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), a sea cave bathed in otherworldly cobalt tones caused by sunlight filtering through an underwater cavity. Gliding inside this natural phenomenon feels like entering a hidden chamber carved by the sea over millennia.

Beyond the grotto, the boat slows for you to savor the calming currents of the Tyrrhenian Sea or dive off the deck into crystal-clear coves inaccessible by land. When you reach Capri, free time beckons through cobblestone streets filled with quaint shops, cafés, and the famed Piazzetta, a lively square that pulses with locals and travelers alike. Here, Italian style comes alive in exclusive boutiques and cafés steeped in decades of island tradition.

CP Charter stands out not just for the quality of the vessels and crew but for the intimate, flexible experience they create on the water. The full-day itinerary balances adventure and leisure, capturing the natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant local culture of this part of Campania. Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this private boat journey unlocks the coastal charm and timeless allure of Capri in a way that’s personal and unforgettable.

The Blue Grotto is busiest midday; secure your spot in advance for the best light and minimal crowds.

Bring Swimwear and Quick-Dry Towels

You'll want to take advantage of secluded swimming stops; quick-dry gear keeps you comfortable on board afterward.

Wear Non-Slip, Boat-Friendly Shoes
