Circle Capri by private gozzo to see the Faraglioni, Punta Carena, and the Blue, Green and White Grottos. This two-hour cruise includes swim stops in crystalline water and close-up coastal sightseeing with a local skipper.
You push off from Marina Grande, the gozzo’s wooden thrum underfoot and the salt-air sharpening into a clean, electric blue. Cliffs unroll like pages: Faraglioni stacks jutting offshore, the Punta Carena lighthouse a white punctuation against low clouds, and a string of grotto mouths that flirt with the light.

You push off from Marina Grande, the gozzo’s wooden thrum underfoot and the salt-air sharpening into a clean, electric blue. Cliffs unroll like pages: Faraglioni stacks jutting offshore, the Punta Carena lighthouse a white punctuation against low clouds, and a string of grotto mouths that flirt with the light.
The island’s coastline reads like a geology primer—ammonite-aged limestone, porous tuff, and marine terraces carved by waves and time. Capri’s human story is compacted into those rocks: Roman villas of Tiberius once claimed these coves; later, watchtowers rose against pirate raids, and 19th-century engineers lit the lighthouse that still warns ships today.
On a two-hour private cruise you’ll skirt famous markers—the Blue Grotto (access limited by tide and queue), the Green and White Grottos, Marina Piccola’s sheltered bay—and pause for a swim in crystalline water. Expect nimble maneuvering into narrow inlets, calm anchorages for dipping, and short guided commentary on what you pass.
Practical side: the tour meets at the Pentagon Bar by the port; it’s best early for the grotto light and quieter waters. The captain supplies bottled water but pack reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and footwear that grips slippery rock if you step ashore. Blue Grotto entry is contingent on sea conditions and small-boat rules—your skipper will advise on timing.
This trip balances effortless coastal sightseeing with straightforward logistics: minimal walking, porter-free boarding, and the kind of small-group privacy that makes a swim between sea caves feel like discovery rather than spectacle.
easy.
2 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; requires basic mobility to board a small boat and step in/out of shallow dinghies.
Entry to the Blue Grotto depends on tide, sea state, and queue; the private boat will pass by and your skipper can arrange small-boat entry if conditions and timing allow.
Meet at the Pentagon Bar near Marina Grande Capri; arrive 15 minutes early to check in with staff and stow small gear.
Most traditional gozzo boats are compact and may not have onboard restrooms—use facilities in Marina Grande before departure or ask the operator about boat amenities.
Yes—this tour is listed as physically easy, but boarding a small boat requires basic mobility; notify the operator of any mobility concerns when booking.
Capri bears Roman imprint—Emperor Tiberius built villas along the southern coast—and its coastal forts were developed in response to centuries of pirate raids.
Capri’s waters are sensitive; avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, pack out waste, and use reef-safe sunscreens to minimize impacts.
