Highlights
- Amalfi - Once everyone is on board and briefed about the day ahead, we will be set to sail west toward Capri Island. The route will guide us along the Amalfi Coast, exploring Capri’s pristine beaches, natural rock arches, and enchanting sea caves. Along the way, we’ll appreciate the old watchtowers dotting the entire coast. Our journey will include stops at secluded beaches accessible only by sea, offering time for snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters and exploring grottoes. Near the start, just after leaving the center of Amalfi, we will reach the “Arc of Lovers,” a natural rock arch where couples once exchanged vows.
- Conca dei Marini - Cruising by the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, we will glimpse Sophia Loren’s villa and the historic “Il Saraceno” hotel on La Vite Beach. The stunning Santa Rosa Monastery, now a luxury hotel, showcases the birthplace of the delectable “Sfogliatella Santa Rosa.” After Conca dei Marini’s seaside, we will enter its western basin, offering breathtaking views of Furore and Praiano villages, Li Galli and Capri islands, and the iconic Faraglioni Rocks. Inside this basin lies the Runghetiello Grotto, a picturesque sea cave named after a local fish, featuring vibrant frescoes on its red and green mineral-coated walls: a perfect spot for a refreshing dip.
- Fiordo di Furore - We will then reach the famous Furore Fjord, Italy’s only natural fjord, hosting the “MarMeeting” international diving competition. Professional divers from around the world showcase their skills by leaping from the 28-meter high bridge every July.
- Praiano - Continuing to Praiano, we will explore the larger Africana Grotto with its distinctively blue waters due to light refraction.
- Capri - From here, we will set sail for Capri, disembarking for a three-hour on-foot exploration and lunch (not included). The route to the island will offer a breathtaking view of Positano and the Sorrento Peninsula. Upon reboarding, we will commence the exploration of Capri’s seafront, focusing on its South-East side, home to key attractions. Our first sights will include Villa Jovis, the splendid residence of Roman Emperor Tiberius, and the iconic Faraglioni Rocks, the guardians of Capri. Exploring a complex of interconnected sea caves, such as the White Grotto (Grotta Bianca) and the Green Grotto (Grotta Verde), we will revel in crystal-clear waters: ideal for another round of swimming or snorkeling. As we head back to Amalfi, the return journey will offer a magnificent sunset view, concluding our unforgettable exploration of one of the world’s most beautiful islands.

Epic boat trip from Amalfi to Capri. Speed, swimming, sun and smiles! - What a day! Blue skies, beautiful scenes, brilliant team on a clean, classy comfortable boat that made us feel like millionaires cruising to Capri! Our crew (Simona and Raphael) were super-friendly, helpful and informative.
Comms beforehand were efficient and helpful, meeting up was easy and the boat easily powered through the waves (sit up front for excitement or in the back for comfort!!).
The swimming and snorkeling was fun and cooling and our kids loved jumping and diving off the boat. One of then said it was the best day of his life!

10/10 experience!! - We had the best time with Cruise & Snorkel!! Our captain and staff were incredibly friendly. The views from the boat were amazing and they gave us ample time to swim in the beautiful crisp water! The boat was stocked with plenty of water, beer and sodas and we even got complimentary limoncello shots to take with the rest of our group. Our boat was clean and comfortable and had a bathroom on board. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be booking another tour in the future.

Fun trip along the coast! - We had an amazing experience on this boat tour! The skipper and tour guide were wonderul and the drinks and food they provided were delicious. We took two swim stops on the tour which were refreshing in the hot air. If you can I’d pack light because they do get going pretty quickly to Capri so it can get bouncy but nothing too bad. You are on Capri for three hours so be prepared to entertain yourself there. Overall a great experience!

Totally worth it - It was amazing. The boat is nice, the views are beautiful and the crew on board very helpful. We had lots of fun with Georgia and Raphael!
Just make sure, you search in advance what you want to do in Capri so you can take advantage of the 3 hours there.
Thank you for everything.

A fun day out - We had a great time on the boat with the guys. They were informative and personable and the ride was nice and smooth. The boat was spacious and didn’t feel at all cramped. We enjoyed the swimming as the water was lovely. The 3 hours on Capri were ok, it’s a very chaotic island and hard to navigate, but you don’t get a lot done. It was a really nice day out that we would highly recommend
