Capri by Sea and Land: What You Experience
A detailed review of the maritime loop around Capri and the time spent on the island.
The crossing and island circumnavigation
Departing Amalfi at 09:00, your captain navigates west past Praiano, Positano, and the Punta Campanella headland before setting course for Capri. As you approach the island's towering limestone cliffs, the boat begins a full perimeter cruise.
You pass the White Grotto, the historic Villa Malaparte perched high on a rocky promontory, and sail directly through the natural sea tunnel of the Faraglioni di Mezzo. A pause for swimming in the turquoise waters of Marina Piccola completes the morning water segment.
Four hours of independent exploration on Capri
The boat docks at Marina Grande around 11:30. You have four full hours to explore independently. Travelers can take the funicular railway up to the glamorous Piazzetta in Capri town, take an open-top convertible taxi up to peaceful Anacapri, or ride the single-seat chairlift to the summit of Monte Solaro (589 meters) for panoramic views of the entire Bay of Naples.
The boat gathers passengers at Marina Grande at 15:30 for a relaxing return cruise to Amalfi, complete with chilled limoncello and sunset coastal views.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tour enter the Blue Grotto?
The boat pauses outside the Blue Grotto. Entry into the cave requires transferring to small rowing boats and paying the separate municipal admission fee (approximately €18.00). In high season when queue times exceed 60 minutes, the skipper may recommend continuing the scenic loop to maximize your island land time.
Where does the boat depart in Amalfi?
The vessel departs from Molo Pennello, the primary passenger pier in Amalfi harbor, adjacent to the public ferry ticket booths.
How do we get around on Capri during free time?
Marina Grande connects to Capri town via a 5-minute funicular railway (€2.40). Public minibuses and open-top vintage taxis run frequently between Capri town and Anacapri.
Can I leave my belongings on the boat while exploring Capri?
Yes. The boat remains locked and moored at Marina Grande with the captain nearby, allowing you to leave swim gear and heavy bags safely on board.
What should I bring for this tour?
Bring swimwear, a towel, high-SPF sun protection, a hat, and a light jacket or windbreaker for breezy sea crossings.
Passenger Reviews
Skipping the overcrowded commercial ferry and taking this small boat was the highlight of our holiday. Sailing right through the Faraglioni was magical.
Four hours was the perfect amount of time on Capri. We took the chairlift in Anacapri and had time for an espresso in the Piazzetta before the swim back.
