Setting the Scene: What the Tour Is All About

The Itinerary: What You’ll Visit and Why It Matters
Grotta Bianca (White Grotto)
This is often the first stop, a stunning natural cave that’s perfect for a quick photo. Although it’s a brief visit—just an hour—it sets the tone for a day filled with natural wonder. The clarity of the water here is remarkable, hinting at the beautiful swimming opportunities ahead.
Arco Naturale
A natural arch carved by wind and water, this site offers fantastic photo opportunities. You’ll likely stop here for a guided view, giving you a chance to appreciate Capri’s geological artistry.
Faraglioni
Of course, no trip to Capri is complete without viewing the famous rock formations. The three towering stacks are a symbol of the island. Expect a dedicated photo stop, and to toast the moment with an aperitif—perhaps Prosecco—while soaking in the stunning scenery.
Capri Town
The day includes a four-hour free time in Capri itself, which is quite generous. You can stroll past luxury boutiques, visit Roman ruins, or hop on the chairlift to Monte Solaro for panoramic views. The flexibility here lets you tailor your visit: indulge in a lemon granita, browse artisanal shops, or simply relax at a seaside café.

The private yacht experience offers a sense of exclusivity—no crowded decks or noisy groups. Instead, you gain the feeling of having your own floating retreat. The onboard amenities, including restrooms, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth sound systems, make your journey comfortable and fun. Plus, the onboard catering—with a gourmet brunch featuring local specialties—adds a culinary dimension that many tours lack.
