      Full description

      In the morning you will either be picked up from your hotel in the Sorrento area, or will make your own way to the Marina Lobra port in Massa Lubrense. Board your comfortable boat that accommodates up to 12 people and start cruising along the Sorrento coastline.

      Admire views of the Marciano Waterfall, before heading out to sea and towards the Island of Capri. If you select the early morning option including the Blue Grotto, you will arrive there right as it opens, avoiding the long queues.

      Board a small rowboat to marvel at the intense blue color of this unique sea cave, formed over thousands of years by erosion. Next, circumnavigate Capri to admire the dramatic coastal scenery of the island.

      See the White Grotto, the Green Grotto, the Faraglioni rocks, a natural arch, and the lighthouse of Punta Carena. Your guide will explain the wonders of Capri and its surroundings as you go.

      The boat will make stops at 2 different coves to go snorkeling and admire the rich marine life of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Enjoy a light lunch consisting of a Caprese sandwich or salad and your choice of drinks.

      The boat will then drop you off on Capri, where you will have 4 hours to discover this beautiful island at your own pace. You could do some shopping and have a drink in the charming town, or take the chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro and hike back down. Meet back at the boat and start the return journey back to the port. En route, enjoy a tasting of Limoncello, the traditional Neapolitan liqueur. Your trip will end either at the port in Massa Lubrense, or with a drop-off at your hotel, depending on the option selected.

      This tour was absolutely incredible. Pick up/drop off from Sorrento was so easy. We loved the small group on our boat and being able to sit out the front of the boat. Rafael was incredible. He went above and beyond to tell us great stories, tips and information about Capri. The packed lunch they gave us was a life saver and it was so nice to enjoy it in our own time in Capri once dropped off. The Blue Grotto was amazing and so worthwhile. Nothing like it. Swim spots were excellent and well needed after free time on Capri. Thanks for a wonderful day!!

      Everything was excellent organised. Definitely worthy 100%. They pick us up and returned us to our hotel which make it very relaxing not to worry about parking were is verry expensive. In the boat we were 12 people very comfortably and everyone was very friendly. Our crazy Italian guide named Italo make us feal like home. Giving a lot of sightseeing information, making jokes and offering snacks and drinks generously. The captain serious and quiet made all his efforts with his skills to make us happy approaching very close all the beautiful interest things were worthy to see. The the girl at the docks who welcomed us was very sweet polite friendly and helpful at everything we asked. Finally our young driver at the shuttle bus was polite and fast.

      Definitely the highlight of our trip to the Amalfi coast! The boat ride was fun and beautiful! The guide and sailor, Antonio and Italo were funny, upbeat, and informative! Jumping out to swim in the middle of the sea was a lot of fun, chilling with a beer on the boat, and to end the trip after a few hours on the island a Limoncello shot with a great view. Pick up and drop off from the hotel made the experience easy to get to and getting a sandwich before getting off the boat in capri helped save time and money looking for restaurants there. Highly recommend this tour!
