Capri Private Boat Tour: 360° Island Circumnavigation

Swim in hidden bays and eat where the boat is your only way in

A private boat tour from Amalfi circles Capri over eight hours with a professional skipper and hostess, stopping for swims at the marine park Li Galli and near the Faraglioni rock formations, then anchoring off Nerano for lunch at restaurants accessible only by water. The boat carries snorkelling gear, towels, snacks and drinks. You choose the pace and which sites matter most.

The experience

The boat leaves Amalfi and heads toward Capri, with the crew steering you past the Amalfi Coast's cliffs and into the waters around the island itself. You'll circle Capri's full perimeter (the commander suggests a two-hour stop on the island to walk its streets), and the route takes in hidden bays and sea caves that only appear from the water. Stops for swimming happen at Li Galli, a protected marine park with clear water, and near the Faraglioni, the three rock stacks that rise from the sea off Capri's eastern edge.

Lunch anchors the day in Nerano, a village on the Sorrentine Peninsula reachable only by boat. The crew knows which restaurants work for groups arriving by water. Snorkelling equipment is on board, along with towels, soft drinks, snacks and alcoholic beverages for passengers 21 and older. A restroom is available throughout the day. If you want it, you can add a drone photo shoot of the boat and the coastline, rent an underwater scooter, or request a custom selection of drinks beyond what's standard.

The tour is fully customizable. The crew takes direction on where to linger and which stops matter most. Pickup is included from your Amalfi location. A landing fee of 100 euros covers all passengers at the dock, and a five-euro tourist tax applies per person. Lunch is separate.

Is this one for you?Eight hours on the water means you can circle the island fully, swim at two separate sites, and eat lunch without rushing, but it rules out combining this with other activities the same day. If you want a shorter outing or need time for the town, consider a half-day alternative instead.

Lunch is not included. You pay separately at the restaurant in Nerano. The crew will take you to places that accommodate boat arrivals and can advise on options.

The tour operates in standard sea conditions. If weather becomes unsafe, the crew will adjust the route or discuss alternatives with you on the day.
