About this tour
Explore Capri's rocky shoreline aboard a traditional wooden boat built for navigating these waters. This intimate two-hour voyage takes you past dramatic sea caves and the famous Faraglioni rock formations, with time to swim in sheltered coves and snorkel among the shallows. Your skipper navigates the boat whilst sharing local history, and the tour concludes with a tasting of the island's signature limoncello paired with local snacks. Small groups keep the experience genuine rather than a floating cattle market.

What to expect
You'll board a modest wooden vessel designed specifically for Capri's coastal conditions. The boat moves slowly enough to let you absorb the landscape—pale cliffs, hidden grottoes, the occasional fishing net. When you reach a suitable bay, you'll slip into the water with snorkelling gear provided. The water is cold and clear. Back aboard, the skipper offers context about Capri's past whilst you dry off. Near tour's end, you'll glass the Faraglioni before returning to the port for the limoncello service. Expect salt spray, reef fish, and a genuine sense of having seen the island as locals do.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a rash guard if you're fair-skinned. The boat moves steadily but isn't rough; most fitness levels manage fine. Limoncello is included; other drinks cost extra. The tour operates year-round but sea conditions sometimes prompt schedule changes.
