Boat tours around the island of Capri are the perfect choice for those who want to visit the island from the sea. You’ll be able to marvel at the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean with the beauty of Capri as the stunning backdrop for your one-of-a-kind boat ride, as you glide past iconic rock formations such as the Faraglioni Rocks and view the famous Natural Arch.
There are lots of practical and convenient options for visitors who wish to enjoy a day trip with a full day on the boat including stops for swimming and snorkeling, or a shorter boat trip such as a half-day boat tour of Capri or even just a couple hours. Group tours are more economical than a private boat tour and they still offer lots of the same iconic sights, such as the Punta Carena lighthouse and various sea caves that may include the Blue Grotto, which is reachable with a rowboat, or even the other sea caves such as the Green Grotto and White Grotto.
Many of these small group tours, especially the brief ones that last less than a half day (such as the two-hour tours) conveniently depart from Capri’s Marina Grande port. You can also choose a small group tour departing from various ports along the Amalfi Coast. These longer half-day and full-day tours include transportation from the departure meeting point to Capri, a tour around the island, and free time on land. This is a very convenient and enjoyable option if you have only one day to spend on Capri and you want to appreciate the island to its fullest.
A group boat tour is also a great way to share your travel experience as you meet new friends on board. Many of the boat captains speak both Italian and English, and there are often lots of amenities on board including refreshments such as soft drinks, limoncello and prosecco for a special toast at sea.
