Capri Private Boat & Fishing Tour by Sparviere Boat Tours | Boat Tour

Situated on the rugged coastline of Campania in southern Italy, the municipality of Massa Lubrense stands as a gateway to one of the region’s most magnetic escapes: the island of Capri. Sparviere Boat Tours offers an exceptional private boat experience launching from nearby Sorrento, blending the art of traditional Mediterranean fishing with intimate coastal discovery. This intimate, all-day excursion is anchored in balance—combine hands-on fishing along rich, blue waters with swimming in hidden coves and a leisurely sail to iconic landmarks like the towering Faraglioni rock formations.

The boat’s route threads through sea caves carved from limestone cliffs, each nook revealing strata that speak of millennia, their cool interiors perfect for a refreshing swim. Along the journey, guests witness the transitions of geology meeting sea: sheer cliffs, sea grottos bathed in shifting hues of turquoise, and craggy coasts that harbor a diverse underwater ecosystem ideal for fishing.

What sets Sparviere apart is its focus on melding sport and relaxation. An onboard lunch highlights local flavors and incorporates the fresh catch from your own rod, skillfully prepared by the crew. The private nature of these tours offers flexibility and privacy, ideal for those seeking to savor the coast without crowds.

Massa Lubrense’s position bridging the Sorrentine Peninsula and Capri invites visitors into a lesser-traveled corridor of Italian coastal adventure, where history, culture, and the Mediterranean’s wild beauty converge. These tours are more than sightseeing trips; they are an active immersion in the rhythms of the sea and a deep connection to one of the Mediterranean’s most treasured landscapes.
