The day begins at the port in Sorrento as the motor hums and the Amalfi seawater opens like a map. Salt and lemon in the air, the skipper noses the boat toward Capri; cliffs and terraces slide past until the Faraglioni stacks rise from the Tyrrhenian, daring you to frame them perfectly.

Arrive at the pier early
Boarding starts at the Sorrento port; arrive 20–30 minutes early to complete check-in and secure good seating on the boat.
Blue Grotto entry may cost extra
Passing by is common; if you want to enter the Blue Grotto expect a short rowboat transfer and an additional local fee and wait time.
Protect marine life
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid stepping on seagrass beds—anchoring and careless swimming can damage Posidonia meadows.
