Spend a private day cruising from Sorrento to Capri aboard a classic gozzo. Swim in crystalline bays, pass the Faraglioni stacks, and choose whether to step ashore and explore Capri on foot.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off at dawn from Sorrento’s marina, the gozzo’s polished wood cutting clean lines across the Gulf of Naples. Salt spray and lemon-scented air sharpen the senses as cliffs — white limestone cliffs scored by waves for millennia — slide past: Salto di Tiberio, Villa Jovis clinging to Roman terraces, and the first glint of Capri’s headlands.
