The crossing from Naples toward Capri takes approximately one hour and is itself part of the experience. As the city falls behind and the Gulf opens up, the first outlines of the island appear ahead limestone cliffs rising sharply from the water, already distinct at a distance. Guests can settle on board, have a coffee, and let the pace of the day establish itself naturally before the coast comes into focus.

The approach by sea offers perspectives that no land-based visit can match. The cliffs close in as the boat rounds the island, and the scale of the coastline becomes fully clear only from the water.

Once around the island, the route follows Capri’s coastline at an unhurried pace. The boat passes sea caves carved into the limestone, emerges into open water beside the Faraglioni, and moves through stretches of coast that are accessible only from the sea. A swim stop here, in calm, clear water beneath the rock formations, is one of the most memorable moments of the day.

The Blue Grotto can be included when conditions allow. The itinerary stays flexible throughout, adapting to sea conditions and the rhythm that guests prefer.

For guests who want to dedicate a full day exclusively to Capri, our Capri itinerary covers the island in greater depth.

Leaving Capri, the boat sets course toward Sorrento along a coastal route where the landscape changes register completely. The Sorrento Peninsula rises steeply above the water high cliffs, lemon groves visible along the upper terraces, and the town itself appearing gradually as a layer of white and ochre above the sea.

Arriving in Sorrento by boat gives a perspective that most visitors never see. Once ashore, guests can explore freely the narrow streets of the historic center, the terraces with views over the bay, the ceramic shops and the cafés. The time ashore is unscheduled. When guests are ready to return to the boat, the day continues toward Naples.
