The boat slips from Sorrento just after dawn, the harbor glassing under a pale sky as the bow cuts toward the Li Galli islets — myth-claimed home of the sirens — their low, jagged shapes rising like stone notes off the coast.

Carry reef shoes
Rocky coves and boat ladders can be slippery—reef shoes protect feet during swim stops and boarding from small tender ladders.
Sun protection is critical
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and a UV shirt will keep you comfortable during long exposures on deck.
Bring a small waterproof bag
Store phone, cash and a light layer; a dry pouch keeps essentials safe during swims and sprays.
Plan for limited shore time
The itinerary circles Capri without landing—if you want to explore the island on foot, allow an extra day and book separate transport.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
You’ll have scheduled swim stops; quick-dry fabrics are convenient on board.
