Private Capri Island Boat Tour + Blue Grotto Access

Glide around Capri's legendary coastline on a private boat — sea caves, Faraglioni stacks, hidden coves — with exclusive Blue Grotto entry. The island's most iconic vistas, entirely on your own terms.

What to expect

Your private skipper departs Marina Grande and circumnavigates the island, pausing at the Arco Naturale sea arch, the three iconic Faraglioni sea stacks, and hidden grottos only reachable by water. At the Blue Grotto, you transfer to a tiny rowboat and lie flat as your oarsman pulls you through a narrow sea-level opening into a cave shimmering with supernatural cobalt light. On the return leg your captain points out cliff-top villas and secret swimming ladders carved into the limestone — the kind of local knowledge that transforms a boat ride into a story.

Good to know

Blue Grotto closes in rough seas and on Sundays (interior visit); confirm conditions morning-of. Allow 3–4 hours for the full circumnavigation. Book the private boat in advance; capacity fills fast May–September. All-aboard is typically late afternoon — depart Marina Grande no later than 1 PM to be safe.
