Cross from Sorrento to Capri on a comfortable mini cruise with coastal views of sea caves, coves and the Faraglioni. Pause for a swim when conditions allow, then enjoy a long stretch of free time on the island before sailing home.
After meeting in Sorrento you board and cross toward Capri, following the island coastline past sea caves, hidden coves and the Faraglioni. The Green and White Caves and Punta Carena Lighthouse are among the landmarks you see from the water.
A swim stop is included when conditions allow. You then have about four to five and a half hours ashore to explore Capri and Anacapri at your own pace before the return cruise to Sorrento.
Capri sits opposite the Sorrento Peninsula across clear Tyrrhenian water, with limestone cliffs, sea caves and the Faraglioni stacks that define the island from the sea.
Sorrento is a practical base on the southern Bay of Naples. Meeting by the harbour keeps the start simple before you step onto the boat for Capri.
No boating experience is needed. A professional crew handles navigation and docking while you enjoy the views and time ashore.
You should be comfortable boarding the boat and walking Capri's lanes, which include slopes and steps. Infants sit on laps; a stroller works best on flatter stretches of the town.
This mini cruise balances a scenic coastal circuit with a long window of free time on Capri, so you are not rushed back onto a ferry after a short stroll.
A Sorrento harbour meeting point keeps logistics simple, and the swim stop adds a chance to cool off before you explore on foot. The day is paced for sightseeing rather than racing the clock.
Meet at Ristorante Ruccio in Piazza Marinai d'Italia and board from Sorrento harbour. Once everyone is settled, the crew briefs the group and you cast off toward Capri.
The early crossing opens views across the Bay of Naples before Capri's cliffs come into focus.
Follow Capri's coastline past sea caves, hidden coves and the Faraglioni, the island's three famous sea stacks. From the water you also see the Green Grotto, where reflected light softens the rock to a green tone, and the White Cave with its pale limestone fringe.
These stops are from the boat, so you take in the shoreline landmarks without leaving the deck.
Continue past the Natural Arch and Punta Carena Lighthouse, then pause for a swim in clear water when conditions allow. Dry off on deck before the boat heads toward the landing for free time.
The coastal stretch is a chance to photograph Capri's cliffs from sea level before you explore on foot.
Step ashore for about four to five and a half hours of free time. Walk up to the Piazzetta, browse Capri and Anacapri, visit viewpoints or linger over lunch before returning to the boat at the agreed time.
The cruise back to Sorrento closes the day at the harbour meeting area.
Meet by the Alilauro Tickets Office Sorrento Harbour (near Hotel Il Faro) – Porto di Sorrento (postcode 80067). From here you board for the Capri mini cruise from the Sorrento harbour area.
Public transport and taxis serve central Sorrento easily. Confirm the exact meet time on your booking confirmation and arrive early enough for a calm check-in before departure.
Meet by the Alilauro Tickets Office Sorrento Harbour (near Hotel Il Faro) – Porto di Sorrento in Sorrento before boarding for Capri. The square sits by the harbour area, so it is a practical walk from many central hotels.
Confirm the exact meet time on your booking confirmation and arrive a little early so check-in stays relaxed before departure.
The full day runs for about eight hours, including the coastal cruise around Capri, a swim stop when conditions allow, and a long stretch of free time on the island.
Exact timings can shift slightly with sea conditions and how busy Capri is, so treat the schedule as a well paced outline.
You typically have about four to five and a half hours ashore to explore Capri and Anacapri, walk the Piazzetta, visit viewpoints or stop for lunch at your own pace.
Your skipper sets a return boarding time so the group can sail back to Sorrento together without rushing the coastal stretch home.
No. This is a shared mini cruise, so you travel with other guests on the same Capri itinerary rather than on a private charter.
If you prefer a private boat, ask the team about private Capri options from Sorrento before you book so they can point you to a better fitting product.
No experience is required. A professional crew handles the boat throughout the day, including casting off, coastal navigation and docking.
You only need to be comfortable boarding the boat and walking Capri's lanes in sensible footwear.
Lunch is not included. Use your free time on Capri to eat at a cafe or restaurant of your choice overlooking the lanes or the sea.
Bring a card or cash so you can choose somewhere that suits your taste once you are ashore.
The coastal cruise shows Capri's shoreline caves, coves and the Faraglioni from the water. A swim stop is included when sea conditions allow.
Blue Grotto entry is not part of the standard mini cruise; ask the team before you book if a cave ticket stop is essential for you.
The team may adjust the route, move the swim stop or spend more time in sheltered water if conditions are unsuitable for the planned coastline run.
If the day cannot run safely at all, the team will be in touch about rescheduling so you are not left guessing on the morning of departure.
Yes, families are welcome. Infants sit on laps, and a stroller can usually be managed around the Sorrento meeting point and flatter parts of Capri town.
Expect slopes and steps once you leave the port area, and be ready to carry little ones where wheels are impractical.
Bring sun protection, a light layer for the breeze on deck, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear if you want to swim, and money for lunch ashore.
A small day bag is useful for your towel and any shopping from Capri before you reboard for Sorrento.
