Arrive at Capri by private vintage speedboat, swim into the ethereal Blue Grotto at a VIP time slot, and explore the island's perfumed cliff-top gardens and sea-view terraces entirely on your own schedule — no ferry queues, no crowds.
What to expect
Departure is from the Naples Beverello pier or directly from the cruise port; the crossing takes 45 minutes of pure sea air and acceleration. Your captain navigates the Grotta Verde, Grotta Bianca, and the iconic Faraglioni sea stacks before you decide whether to head up to Anacapri's Villa San Michele gardens or settle into a sunlounger at a private beach club with a Campari Spritz in hand. The return sail at dusk with Vesuvius glowing pink on the horizon is unforgettable.
Good to know
Blue Grotto entry depends on sea conditions and can be closed on windy days — your captain will advise. Pre-book the boat well in advance (6+ weeks) in high season. Allow the full day; Capri deserves it. Last hydrofoil back is around 20:00 if you need to switch to public transport. Confirm all-aboard time before committing to a return slot.
