Set sail on a private 4-hour boat tour around the stunning island of Capri. Swim in clear waters, visit the Blue Grotto, and enjoy Prosecco aboard a cozy cabin boat with Capri Whales.
Capri, the jewel of Italy’s Bay of Naples, lures travelers with its sharply sculpted cliffs, turquoise waters, and Mediterranean charm. Situated just off the mainland near Naples, this island is famed for striking rock formations like the Faraglioni and mysterious caves that pierce the limestone coastline. Capri Whales offers a standout way to engage with these iconic sights through their Half Day in Capri with a Cabin Boat tour—an intimate, four-hour escape that lets visitors ditch crowded ferries for a private swim, scenic cruise, and an aperitif topped with Prosecco. The vessel’s cozy cabin lends both shelter and style, ideal for a group eager to trace the island’s scenic perimeter.
The tour’s highlights include a stop at the Blue Grotto, a cavern illuminated by an otherworldly blue glow where sunlight filters under the water’s surface. Another photo-worthy landmark is Villa Malaparte—a striking red house dramatically perched on a cliff, symbolizing modernist architecture married to raw nature. Of course, the off-shore Faraglioni sea stacks are a natural spectacle rising sharply from the sea, where bold swimmers can plunge into crystal-clear waters.
Capri Whales distinguishes itself by combining comfort with an adventurous spirit, providing a laid-back way to experience coastal geology, cultural heritage, and the invigorating Mediterranean Sea in one seamless journey. Their small-group focus means personal attention and flexible pacing, perfect for visitors who want more than just a ferry ride—they want immersion. This trip fits perfectly in Capri’s outdoor scene, inviting guests to savor the island’s coastal allure with refreshing drinks, exceptional views, and the freedom to swim or bask as they please. For travelers seeking a distinct blend of relaxation and natural spectacle, Capri Whales offers an unforgettable slice of the Italian coast.
