Overview

Guidekin summary

Capri from a traditional gozzo with a skipper and just eight guests, a Caprese sandwich and a full drinks list on board, and hotel pickup for Sorrento addresses. The Blue Grotto ticket, snorkel gear and a landing fee are paid on the spot, and the queue for the grotto can run long in high season. 4.87 from 2,493 reviews at €179 per person.

From the guide

The magical island of Capri has charmed visitors for centuries, from great Roman Emperors to famous playwrights and celebrities of all times: join the island jet set with an exclusive boat trip. Choose between a shared small-group tour or upgrade to a private experience for a more exclusive and personalized adventure. On board of an elegant “gozzo”, with an experienced skipper and just 8 guests, you will discover the most beloved island in the world. Visit the Blue Grotto and kiss under the Faraglioni sea stacks, swim and snorkel in the clear waters and enjoy some free time on the island to shop in high-end boutiques or have a gelato in the Piazzetta.
