Arrive at the Blue Grotto by private speedboat at the precise tide window when the chamber blazes electric blue — then spend the afternoon anchored in hidden coves accessible only from the sea.
What to expect
Your sleek wooden gozzo departs Marina Grande and heads directly to the Blue Grotto at the optimal tidal moment. You transfer to the rowboat for the low-lying entrance and float inside as cobalt light dances across the cavern walls. Back aboard, your skipper navigates to the Faraglioni arches — passing through them if seas allow — and anchors in a private turquoise cove for swimming and a chilled prosecco. The pace is entirely yours.
Good to know
The Blue Grotto closes if seas exceed 0.5 m swell — have your skipper advise on the morning. Capri is reached from Naples or Sorrento by hydrofoil; book your boat charter to depart from Marina Grande. Capri is an easy half-day from both Naples and Salerno cruise terminals.
