Discover Capri's iconic grottos and sea formations on a private boat tour from Massa Lubrense with Sparviere Boat Tours. Swim, sightsee, and savor a uniquely intimate day on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Located along the rocky coastline of Campania, Massa Lubrense serves as the gateway to one of Italy’s most dazzling maritime experiences: a private boat tour to Capri. Operated by Sparviere Boat Tours, these intimate excursions set off from Sorrento, weaving through the Tyrrhenian Sea’s shimmering waters toward the island’s iconic landmarks. Capri is famed not just for its postcard-perfect vistas but for its striking natural features like the towering Faraglioni sea stacks and the Arco Naturale, a natural limestone arch sculpted by millennia of wave action.
Sparviere’s private boat tour offers more than sightseeing. Guests get the chance to slip off the boat for refreshing swims in crystal-clear coves, or drift into the shaded chambers of Capri’s spectacular grottos, including the famous Blue Grotto when conditions permit. The trip balances relaxation with discovery, providing free time on-island to wander winding lanes, sample local flavors, or simply soak up Mediterranean sunlight from coastal vantage points.
This boat tour stands apart in the Campanian outdoor scene by combining luxury, privacy, and an authentic connection to the sea. Unlike crowded ferry rides, Sparviere’s carefully managed groups allow travelers to engage intimately with the landscape, marine life, and cultural rhythm of Capri. The company’s position in Massa Lubrense, a less commercialized coastal town south of Sorrento, gives visitors a peaceful launching pad away from tourist hubs while staying close to the action.
For those seeking a day trip that threads together geology, marine ecology, cultural immersion, and rejuvenating waterborne adventure, Sparviere Boat Tours delivers a memorable package. Each voyage captures the essence of Southern Italy’s stunning coastal playground, throwing open a window to the natural wonders and historic charm that make Capri a perennial highlight along this celebrated stretch of Mediterranean coastline.
The Blue Grotto’s entrance is weather-dependent and limited capacity means early reservations improve your chances to visit.
