Sail the Sorrento coast with Sparviere Boat Tours on a private journey to the Blue Grotto and Capri’s famed Faraglioni. This trip combines hidden caves, crystal-clear swimming spots, and a café stop in the Piazzetta for a truly unique Mediterranean adventure.
The Amalfi Coast’s charm is epitomized in the waters off Massa Lubrense, Campania, where Sparviere Boat Tours offers a private sailing journey that redefines coastal adventure. This isn’t just a boat ride; it’s a hands-on encounter with Mediterranean marvels. Departing from the cliff-fringed shores near Sorrento, the Capri PRIME tour steers travelers through a landscape etched in limestone cliffs and turquoise waters, flaunting the iconic Faraglioni rock formations standing like ancient sentries just off Capri’s coast.
The tour’s highlight, the Blue Grotto, is a cavern carved by millennia of marine erosion, its interior aglow from sunlight filtering through an underwater cavity. A private boat allows guests to enter at their own pace, letting the colors dance on the water’s surface and walls, a phenomenon that’s as entrancing as it is rare globally. Beyond this, the journey uncovers hidden caves and beaches inaccessible by land, revealing quiet alcoves perfect for a swim in crisp, clear waters.
Midday, the itinerary pauses at Capri’s Piazzetta, the vibrant heart of this island jewel, where the scent of fresh espresso mingles with the sea breeze. Here, the relaxed atmosphere invites a moment to soak in local life, dining options, and panoramic views before returning to the boat.
Sparviere Boat Tours distinguishes itself by blending intimacy with authenticity in a region famed for its crowds. Personalized service, local knowledge, and the ability to customize the route create a seamless adventure that feels more like a private discovery than a tourist excursion.

It’s an invitation to witness Campania’s coastal beauty from a unique vantage point, one anchored in both luxury and nature’s untouched splendor.
