FAQ - Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to cruise around the island?

It takes about 90 minutes to cruise around the entire island of Capri on board a smaller craft. If you want to take in the island, stop for free time to swim and snorkel in the most beautiful coves, snap a few photos under the Faraglioni, and visit the Blue Grotto, consider that it will take about three to four hours with a small-group tour or private boat tour of Capri.

To really unwind and explore the island's coastline at your own pace, consider a full-day tour of the island that often includes time on land to stroll through the Piazzetta in Capri and the quiet center of Anacapri. If you just have an hour or two, opt for a quick sunset boat trip to the Faraglioni that includes a Prosecco or Limoncello toast on board.

What types of boats can I book for a tour or rental on Capri?

The most common type of boat you’ll find on Capri is the traditional wooden “gozzo caprese”, often built by the Fratelli Aprea company. There are gozzo boats in a number of sizes, from those small enough that you can rent one without a boating license to large, luxurious versions that are similar to small yachts. You can also find rubber dinghies, speedboats like the Itama 38 or 40, as well as luxury boats and yachts like the Pershing.

Which port do boat tours depart from?

Boat tours of Capri depart from ports in Sorrento, Naples, Massa Lubrense, Positano, and Amalfi. There are also departures from other towns along the Amalfi Coast. And, of course, you can depart from the port on Capri itself, located in Marina Grande...the same port where ferries to and from the mainland dock.
