You can choose between traditional “gozzi” or motorboats. The shortest island tour lasts 2 hours, but you can also book 3-, 4-, or 7-hour tours. If you want to visit the Blue Grotto, you’ll need at least a 3-hour tour.

Those who are interested in entering the cave must disembark from their tour boat and enter on one of the waiting rowboats, which are small enough to pass through the cave's mouth. Entrance tickets much be purchased separately at 18 euro per person for a short 5-minute visit.
Beyond Capri
Beyond Capri
If you have opted for an individual tour in a private boat, after your tour around the island of Capri you can opt to sail across the sea to the fishing villages along the Amalfi Coast, perhaps stopping for a refreshing dip near the Li Galli islands, lunch in one of the area's waterfront restaurants, or shopping in the elegant boutiques of Amalfi and Positano.
Our Insider Tip
If you visit Capri during the peak summer months, avoid scheduling your boat tour around the island for the middle of the day. Instead, take advantage of the relative calm by setting off first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon when you will have the seas to yourself. In high season, the waters surrounding Capri are crowded with tour boats, so if you opt to rent a private boat we strongly suggest you enlist the services of an expert crew, as well!
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How can I take a boat tour of Capri?
There are three options:
How much does a boat tour cost?
Group boat tours can cost as little as EUR 20/person. Private boat tours begin at about EUR 150/boat.
What type of boats are used for Capri tours?
The most common boat used for island tours is the "gozzo caprese" (or "gozzo sorrentino"), a traditional wooden boat with a spacious sun deck. There are different types and sizes of gozzo boats, and the largest can fit up to 12 passengers and have a cabin with WC, galley, and enough space to spend an entire day at sea.
What sights are included in a Capri boat tour?
A classic itinerary for a boat tour of Capri begins at Marina Grande, Capri's port, and continues east past Tiberius' Leap, the White Grotto, the Natural Arch, and Villa Malaparte until reaching Marina Piccola after passing beneath the arch in the Faraglioni. Afterwards, tours pass the Punta Carena lighthouse and continue to the northern coastline of the island, stopping to visit the Blue Grotto along the way. At the Blue Grotto, passengers board small rowboats to enter the grotto; there is a floating ticket booth at the grotto entrance to purchase tickets. Finally, the cruise passes the Baths of Tiberius and returns to Marina Grande. Private boat tours also include a stop to swim in the pretty coastal coves and snorkeling in the crystalline water.
Tours that depart from Sorrento, Positano, and Naples also include 4-5 hours of free time on land after docking in Marina Grande at the end of the cruise so passengers can visit La Piazzetta and the towns of Capri and Anacapri.
