Private Speedboat to the Blue Grotto & Capri Cliffside Lunch

Race across the Bay of Naples aboard a private speedboat to Capri, glide into the ethereal Blue Grotto at first light, then ascend to a cliffside terrace restaurant reserved exclusively for your group — the island's most coveted table.

What to expect

Your skipper departs at dawn to guarantee Blue Grotto access before the crowds; you row in on a tiny wooden boat as the grotto ignites with its legendary cobalt glow. Back on the speedboat, you circumnavigate the island — sea arches, sea stacks, and secret coves — before mooring at Marina Piccola. A short funicular ride brings you to a clifftop terrace where the chef prepares grilled branzino, burrata, and limoncello soufflé with views over the Faraglioni. Pure theatre.

Good to know

Depart from Naples or Sorrento tender/ferry port early — the Blue Grotto closes if seas are rough or after 13:00 when tour boats arrive in numbers. Book 3–4 weeks ahead in peak season. Confirm your all-aboard time: allow 1 hour travel back from Marina Grande to Naples.
