Capri & Li Galli Boat Tour from Amalfi: Swim & Snorkel

Seven hours on the water between two islands, with time to walk Capri's streets

You board a traditional gozzo at Amalfi's port and spend the day swimming at three stops (Punta Campanella, Capri's Faraglioni rocks, and Li Galli islets) with two and a half hours to explore Capri on foot. The boat holds up to twelve people, includes prosecco, water, and snacks, and returns by late afternoon. Book if you want the main Capri experience without arranging your own boat or spending hours in the Blue Grotto queue.

The experience

You board a wooden gozzo at the Amalfi port at 9:40am with a prosecco toast in hand, and within minutes the coast starts to shrink behind you. The boat holds twelve people maximum, so there's room to move, and the skipper knows where the water turns that particular shade of blue that makes you stop talking. The first swim comes at Punta Campanella, a marine protected area where the water is so clear you can see the bottom without trying: about forty minutes in the water, or less if you want to stay on deck.

Then you're heading toward Capri, and the Faraglioni appear: three rock formations rising straight out of the sea, the kind of thing you've seen in photographs but that still catches you off guard when they're real and in front of you. You stop here for snorkeling, and the crew hands out snacks and water while you're in the sea. After that comes the part that makes this boat tour different from others, you actually get off the boat and spend two and a half hours on the island itself, walking the narrow streets, finding a café, sitting in a piazza. You're not rushed through it. The boat waits.

On the way back to Amalfi, there's a final swim at Li Galli, a pair of private islets that are also protected, and the crew brings out a surprise, usually something cold and good. You're back at the port by 4:45pm. The whole day is structured but not tight. You're not herded, and the skipper and assistant on board know the water and the timing. It's a small group boat tour from Amalfi that actually gives you time to be on land, not just pass by it.
