Naples · NAPLES BOAT TOURS

Leave Marina Grande for a one to two hour cruise past Capri’s Faraglioni, White and Green Grottos, Punta Carena Lighthouse, and the Baths of Tiberius. The English and Italian speaking crew shares island stories; the optional Blue Grotto visit costs an extra €18 and may involve a long wait.

A Blue Grotto visit requires a separate €18 rowboat transfer, subject to weather and queues. Boats and crew can vary; skipper Pasquale has been praised by name.
“Couldn't go to the Grotto as it was closed but the boat ride was great. Small boat so it was not crowded. Well worth the money, great experience, must do.”
Ride from Naples with a local driver and English commentary, then explore Positano, Amalfi, and hilltop Ravello on your own. Expect narrow coastal roads, about an hour to 90 minutes in each town, and a full day of sightseeing. An Amalfi boat ride is optional, costs extra, and depends on conditions.
“I don’t think we could have navigated these roads and everywhere they took us without the professional driver. It was great! We saw all the sites and even had time to jump in the ocean at the almalfi coast! Our guide was super great as well! Kind friend and knew his stuff 💗”

Set off from Marina Grande with an English and Italian speaking crew for a one to two hour boat circuit of Capri. See the Natural Arch, Malaparte’s villa, the Faraglioni and several sea caves. The Blue Grotto visit is optional, costs an extra €18, and can involve a long wait or closure in rough seas.
“We went at 12:30 pm. This was a great 1.5 hour tour that circumnavigated Capri. It included a 20 minute stop for swimming right near the Faraglioni rocks, which were beautiful. The water was not cold. They had 10 pool noodles (so not enough for everyone). My youngest (8 y.o) used a noodle, and my older one (11 y.o.) did not, but she was nervous while swimming in the ocean (maybe 20 feet deep?). We brought goggles for the kids so she could see fish beneath us. The boat was large enough to not get sea sick on the boat but small enough that it didn't feel crowded. There were…”
Travel from Pompeii, Castellammare, or Vico Equense to Capri for a coastal boat tour and 5.5 hours of free time. A multilingual tour assistant such as Elena helps with the day’s plan and island tips.

Captains have included Mario, Roberto, Dino, Davide and Michele, though your guide may vary.
“It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure! A smaller boat with only 10 passengers, plus the captain, which is a much better experience than some of the larger tour boats. The captain was great, and spoke English well enough to converse with, and explained the different caves and features to us. We chose this trip, as we thought many of the 1-hour trips would be too rushed. We also wanted the opportunity to jump in and cool off in the sea, which we got on this trip. Highly recommended.”

“I absolutely loved this tour. A highlight of my travels. Transpiration to the boat was easy - make sure to bring passport and cash for your port fee. Once of the boat, our guide was so fab and fantastic, played music, gave us two spots to swim in, one at the start and one after visiting Positano and Amalfi. He gave us food recommendations for both places which was great - lemon gelato and lemon cake were yummy! 1 hour at both places was enough. You could swim extra at Amalfi, but the sand is black so it gets hot very fast and bring your swim shoes as it’s also…”
