Discovering Capri by private boat is one of those experiences that will remain etched in your memory. The mainland is beautiful, of course, but the island reveals its magic best when viewed from the sea: the imposing Faraglioni Rocks, mysterious caves, and hidden coves reveal themselves in all their beauty only when sailing along its coastline.
The feeling of arriving on shore after seeing the island from the water is unlike any other: the light breeze, the sun reflecting off the sea, the scent of salt air… everything seems to amplify the anticipation of discovering every secret corner.
CAPRI, AN AUTHENTIC ISLAND IN THE HEART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
The island of Capri, located between Naples and the Sorrento coast, covers an area of approximately 10 square kilometers, just a few kilometers from the mainland. This location has always made it a strategic point: visible from the sea, accessible, but at the same time isolated, perfect for those seeking refuge from the chaos.
Its morphology is very varied and fascinating, mainly limestone rocks alternating with coves and secret beaches, creating incredible scenery at every turn.
Among the wonders to be discovered from the sea is the Blue Grotto, a small hidden treasure chest that surprises with waters so transparent that they seem unreal.
Once you go ashore, you can’t miss a visit to the Piazzetta, the beating heart of the island, where the elegant rhythm of Capri meets the discreet charm of local life.
It has two main hills: Monte Solaro, which at 589 meters dominates the island and offers breathtaking views, and the Gardens of Augustus, a natural terrace with spectacular views of the Faraglioni rocks.
The climate is Mediterranean: in summer, the sun beats down, the sea is warm and inviting, while in winter, temperatures remain mild, rarely falling below 10 degrees Celsius.
CAPRI BY BOAT: WHY IT’S AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED
If you want to discover Capri to the fullest, there is no comparison to doing so from the water. Sailing along the coast in a private boat means having the freedom to stop wherever you want, among hidden coves and corners that you would otherwise not be able to see, far from the crowds and hustle and bustle. One of the advantages is precisely this feeling of exclusivity: every turn reveals a new view, a cave to explore, a rock profile that changes with the sunlight.
And then there is the Blue Grotto: entering it is like stepping through a small portal into an unreal world, with intense blue reflections that almost look like paintings. Swim in transparent waters, dive from the Faraglioni Rocks and then relax in the sun, listening only to the sea caressing the boat. In short, an adventure from which you return with eyes full of wonder and a light heart.
There are also slower moments, the ones that remain in your heart: enjoying the sunset from the sea, with colors lighting up the rocks and the sky, spontaneous photos, light laughter, and that feeling of being alone with the island, even though everything around you is extraordinarily alive.
Capri by private boat is not just an excursion, it is a unique way to experience the island, feel its breath, and take home memories that will last forever.

SEASONS AND IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR CAPRI BY BOAT
To enjoy a boat trip around Capri to the fullest, choosing the right time of year is essential.
May and June are often considered the best months: the weather is already warm and sunny, the sea is calm and clear, and the island is not yet overrun with tourists. Sailing during this time allows you to admire the caves and Faraglioni rocks in peace, with perfect lighting for unforgettable photos.
September and early October also offer ideal conditions. The water remains warm and inviting, the days are still long and bright, and the summer crowds have thinned out. It is the perfect time for those seeking a more intimate and relaxed experience, with calm seas and splendid views.
The middle months of summer, July and August, offer warm, sunny days with crystal clear water perfect for diving and snorkeling. Although Capri is busier, booking your excursion in advance will ensure you get a place on board and still enjoy an exclusive and comfortable experience.
Winter and late autumn (November to March) are not recommended: the waters can be rough and many excursions do not operate. During these months, the sea is more unpredictable and the experience loses some of the magic that Capri offers during the warm season.
