A wake of white foam parts the morning haze as your private gozzo slips out of Sorrento harbor toward Capri. Salt and citrus hang in the air; cliffs pass like pages — ochre rock, tamarisk, and fishing boats working the same swell. The captain steers for hidden inlets, dropping anchor where the water goes crystal green and the Faraglioni sea stacks loom like landed giants.

Bring motion‑sickness prevention
Sea conditions can change quickly; take anti-nausea medication or wear pressure bands if you’re prone to seasickness.
Wear non‑slip shoes
Boarding from small docks or into dinghies requires good traction — deck shoes or grippy sandals work best.
Pack reef‑safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect the fragile marine environment and avoid lotions that stain boat cushions.
Carry ID and small cash
Marina fees, small purchases, or tips are easier to handle with cash; keep ID handy for boarding or Blue Grotto access.

Stable footing for boarding, moving on wet decks and short shore transfers.

Protects skin and the local marine environment during long sun exposure.
