With a professional skipper at the helm, you'll navigate past some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic landmarks, including the legendary Faraglioni rock formations — towering limestone stacks rising sharply from the sea — and the ethereal Blue Grotto, famous for its otherworldly azure waters illuminated by sunlight filtering through an underwater cavity. As you cruise around Capri’s rugged coastline, you'll find hidden coves perfect for refreshing swims in crystal-clear waters. The skipper tailors the route to your interests, allowing ample time for bathing in secluded spots seldom reached by larger vessels. A carefully prepared onboard lunch and chilled drinks are served as you relax on deck, taking in panoramic views of the island’s dramatic cliffs and lush Mediterranean vegetation.
