An In-Depth Look at the Experience

This full-day boat tour offers a comprehensive look at Capri, weaving together sailing, sightseeing, and land exploration. Starting from either Positano or Sorrento, the journey begins with a scenic transfer to the marina, where the boat awaits. From there, you’re aboard a comfortable vessel equipped with safety gear, restroom facilities, and a professional sound system for onboard music and commentary.

The itinerary is packed, with over 17 stops, including famous spots like the Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni rock formations, and the Green Grotto. Many of these stops are photo opportunities, with some offering guided visits or scenic views to enhance your experience. For example, the stop at Cala del Rio and Cala del Tombosiello are highlights for their picturesque settings, ideal for snapping memorable photos.

One of the tour’s main attractions is the chance to swim and snorkel in the Med’s clear waters. The equipment is provided, but some reviews suggest the actual experience can be somewhat hurried or limited. It’s worth noting that the Blue Grotto visit is optional and can be done during your free time if you wish to avoid waiting in line or paying extra.

A standout feature is the tasting of local specialties during a special stop at Punta Ventroso, where you can enjoy regional snacks, toast with Prosecco, or sample Limoncello while soaking in the views. The brunch onboard features Italian delicacies, and drinks such as beer, water, soda, and spritz are included, making this a relaxing occasion to savor the flavors of the region.

The 4 hours of free time in Capri are a real highlight. During this period, you’re free to explore on your own—whether that’s shopping at luxury boutiques, wandering the Piazzetta, or climbing to Monte Solaro for panoramic views. Some reviews mention that the free time is quite generous, allowing for a good balance of land and sea experiences.

The Sailing & Stops

The itinerary includes a mix of scenic drives by boat and stops for exploring, with some of the most famous landmarks passing by or being visited in detail. For example, the Faraglioni are one of the most iconic sights, and you’ll get a photo stop to appreciate their majestic presence. Similarly, the Casa Malaparte and Grotta Bianca are included for their unique visual appeal.

The stops at Punta Carena Lighthouse and Salto di Tiberio provide lovely scenic views, while the visit to the Grotta dei Santi and Grotta Rossa add a sense of adventure and exploration.

The Land Time: Is It Worth It?

The 4 hours of free time in Capri are perhaps the most flexible part of the trip. You could use this to shop in the town’s boutiques, relax at a seaside café, or visit other sites. Many travelers find that this amount of time is enough to get a good feel for Capri’s charming streets and enjoy a leisurely meal, but not enough for extensive sightseeing.

Some reviews mention that the organization of this land segment can be a bit loose, with the possibility of missing out on certain attractions if you’re not proactive. Still, it’s an excellent chance to experience the island without the hassle of planning.

The Food & Drink Experience

The brunch and onboard drinks are among the trip’s most praised features. The inclusion of local specialties like Limoncello and Prosecco adds a distinctly regional touch, and the hoteliers aim to make the cruise feel festive and relaxed.

During the Punta Ventroso stop, you can enjoy local snacks, tapas, and regional food, which makes this more than just a sightseeing tour—it’s a taste of Italy’s culinary delights. The fact that drinks are included—water, soda, beer, spritz—means you can unwind without constantly reaching for your wallet.

However, some travelers have noted that there’s no lunch included, and the advertised snorkeling equipment may be limited in use or availability. One review mentioned that despite the promise of snorkeling gear, the experience was not as extensive as expected, and the trip felt more like a speed taxi at times.
