The experience

The Gozzo 35 Apreamare is built for the Gulf of Naples: a traditional wooden boat with modern comforts, carrying a small group at a pace that lets you linger at each stop instead of racing through them. The boat leaves from your choice of Positano, Praiano, Capri or Sorrento and heads straight to Capri's sea caves. The White Grotto gets its name from white stalactites hanging from the roof and white mineral crusts on the walls; the Green Grotto sits on a rugged stretch of coast exposed to the sirocco wind; the Blue Grotto is the most famous and available on request. Between the caves you pass the Faraglioni, three limestone stacks rising from the water that the locals call a symbol of eternal love, and Marina Piccola, the working fishing port on Capri's south side.

Swimming happens at anchor in the boat's chosen spots, and you have access to SCUBA equipment if you want to go deeper. Coca-Cola, Prosecco, beer and bottled water are aboard, along with snacks. If you want to step onto Capri itself, you can disembark at the port for free time on the island. A landing tax applies unless you eat lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants with private piers, which many travelers choose instead of paying the fee separately.

The boat carries a live guide in English, Spanish or Italian, and the seven-hour window means you're not rushed through the morning. Pickup is included depending on which departure point you choose at checkout.
