Small-group boat trip from Amalfi to Capri (max 12 guests) – prosecco welcome, swim stops at Punta Campanella + Li Galli marine park, cruise past Faraglioni rocks, 2–3 hours free time on Capri for beaches or grottos, limoncello + cookies on return, full-day adventure.
The transit from the stone piers of Amalfi to the high limestone cliffs of Capri is a 7.5-hour immersion in the physical reality of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
You depart from the harbor as the morning sun begins to reflect off the blue water. The air carries the sharp scent of salt and the cold spray of the wake.
This small-group expedition focuses on the sensory contrast between the deep, wild waters of the marine reserves and the polished boutiques of the island. You move from the open sea to the narrow stone arches of the coast, with stops at historic landmarks where the water remains clear enough to see the seabed.
Because these boats are limited to just 12 passengers, the experience is quiet and focused on the sounds of the water and the wind.
You should book your Capri boat tour early to secure one of the limited spots on the bow for the crossing.
Expect a full day on the water with significant exposure to the sun and sea breeze. This is a small-group tour with a maximum of 12 travelers, ensuring a conversational atmosphere with the skipper. The boat involves steady movement, and the swim stops require a moderate level of physical mobility to use the ladder. The itinerary is subject to weather conditions: if the sea is too rough, the route may be modified or cancelled for safety.
Our clients suggest bringing your own towel from your hotel to avoid the 5 EUR rental fee on the boat.
Travellers who booked tours with us recommend skipping the Blue Grotto during this tour. The wait times can exceed two hours, which would consume your entire free time on the island.
If you want a quiet lunch, our past travellers note that walking away from the main harbor toward the "Anacapri" side of the island offers a much more authentic experience with lower prices.
Keep your electronics in a dry bag. The spray from the wake can reach the seating area during the crossing from Amalfi to Punta Campanella.
The water temperature and sea conditions vary significantly as the Mediterranean season progresses.
Recommended Start Time: 9:30 AM. Arriving at the pier 10 minutes early ensures you can secure a seat on the bow for the best views of the Faraglioni rocks.
No, due to the long queues. You can arrange a separate small boat to the grotto during your free time on Capri if the wait times are short.
Most boats used for this tour have a basic cabin with a small restroom, but it is best to use the facilities at the Amalfi pier before departure.
The crossing to Capri can be choppy. We recommend taking preventative measures before boarding if you are sensitive to motion.
Yes, but they must be supervised at all times, especially during the swim stops in open water.
If the skipper determines the conditions are unsafe, the tour is cancelled. You will have the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
