Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore

Portrayed by artists, sung by poets, the island of Capri is the pearl of the Gulf of Naples. From Sorrento, enjoy an amazing journey sailing the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea onboard our typical "gozzo" boat with a maximum group size of 12 people. The charming fishing village of Marina Grande and an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC will be the scenery of our trip along the Sorrento peninsula. Once in Capri, be captivated by the beauty of the island: the imposing Faraglioni rocks, the villa of Curzio Malaparte, the suggestive colored grottoes: White Grotto - Green Grotto - Blue Grotto and the lighthouse of Punta Carena. 4 hours of free time ashore to visit Capri city center and with enough time to reach Anacapri chair lift by bus or taxi. Stop for swimming and opportunity to visit the Blue Grotto, depending on waiting times. Free bottle of Prosecco, beer, soft drinks and seasonal fruit on board. Return to Sorrento around 4:30 pm.
