A sleek private speedboat whisks you from the Naples or Sorrento coast to Capri's legendary Blue Grotto, then on to secret sea caves and turquoise bays inaccessible by road — the ultimate Mediterranean luxury on the water.
What to expect
Your captain navigates the dramatic Faraglioni rock stacks before cutting the engine in an impossibly turquoise cove for a swim. Approaching the Blue Grotto, you transfer into a traditional wooden rowboat and are pulled through the low entrance by the oarsman — inside, the entire cave blazes an electric cobalt blue from the refracted light, an effect that never photographs well enough to do it justice. The return route hugs the cliff-face past Villa Malaparte and the Arco Naturale, your captain sharing island lore all the way.
Good to know
Blue Grotto entry depends on sea conditions and swell — have a backup cove in mind. Depart from Naples or Sorrento (closer to Capri). Book the private charter at least 2–3 weeks ahead in high season (June–Sept). Confirm your port all-aboard time carefully; transfers back can take 1.5–2 hrs.
