From the guide

Discover the Sorrento coast, the island of Capri and the Blue Grotto from the sea with this 4 hours tour. You will enjoy a day away from the crowd and the chaos of the hydrofoil: only 12 passengers plus an experienced captain and a local host that will make sure that you will see the most amazing place along the way, that you will swim and snorkel in the most clear water of the island, that you will enjoy  the most relaxing break with snacks and drinks on board.Before the end of the tour, you will be offered a taste a local limoncello. Delicious!
