Private Capri Boat Tour Around Capri: Green Grotto, Faraglioni & Punta Carena

Set out from Castellammare di Stabia and spend a full day circling Capri aboard Tour Privato Capri da Capri - Acquamarina 848, a private boat tour that turns the island’s dramatic coastline into your personal postcard. Capri is an island off the Sorrentine Peninsula in Campania, Italy, famous for sheer limestone cliffs, sea caves, and the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks. This 8‑hour excursion covers the Green Grotto, the Natural Arch, Punta Carena Lighthouse and the photogenic approach to Marina Grande, with time to swim, snorkel, and stroll narrow streets ashore.

The trip’s defining features are geological: wave-cut sea caves carved in limestone, towering limestone Faraglioni stacks rising from blue water, and the Natural Arch sculpted by centuries of erosion. The Green Grotto (Grotta Verde) refracts light into an otherworldly emerald glow; beneath Punta Carena you pass low cliffs and a working lighthouse that frames quiet coastal scenery. Marina Grande offers a human contrast—colorful boats tied to the quay and steep, pedestrian-only lanes leading to cafés and boutiques.

This operator specializes in private charters that let you choose pace and priorities. The captain will navigate close to the Faraglioni for classic photos, drop anchor for swims in hidden coves, and use skiffs where grotto entrances are tight. You’ll get close to geological features that are otherwise accessed only by water, and the flexibility to linger at quieter spots along Capri’s less-crowded southern shore.

Bring your swimsuit and a sense of curiosity: you’ll likely stop for a swim in crystalline bays and climb ashore at Marina Grande to sample lemon-scented ice cream or espresso among locals. The day balances spectacle with practicality—ample shade on the boat, rest stops, and commentary on local history including Capri’s Roman-era villas and maritime traditions.

Expect a crewed motorboat configured for comfort and shade, with cushioned seating, a freshwater rinse for swimmers, and lifejackets for all ages. The captain often times grotto visits for optimal light and will advise when water conditions permit safe entry; weather and sea state determine access to tight caves. Shore breaks at Marina Grande give time to walk uphill or catch the bus to Anacapri if you want higher viewpoints. This is a photographer’s trip too—bring polarized lenses and a waterproof case. Book early in summer months when slots fill, and confirm pickup location in Castellammare di Stabia.
