Private Capri Boat Tour for Couples — Sea Caves, Faraglioni & Swim
Book a private two-hour boat cruise around Capri for just two people. Glide past the Faraglioni, explore lesser-known sea caves, swim and snorkel with a local skipper guiding the route.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time your arrival
If arriving from Positano, aim for midday departures—early ferries can be canceled and late arrivals may miss the tour.
Check sea conditions
Skipper decisions depend on swell—if the sea is rough some coves and the Green Grotto swim may be skipped for safety.
Protect your skin
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a brimmed hat; sunlight reflects strongly off the water even on overcast days.
Bring small cash and ID
Some local harbors and cafes prefer cash; keep ID for boarding and port checks.

Conservation Note
The island’s marine habitats include Posidonia seagrass beds; avoid anchoring on visible seagrass and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce local impact.
Capri was favored by Roman emperors—evidence like Villa Jovis on the eastern plateau reflects its long role as an elite maritime retreat.

How many people are allowed per booking?
This private option is exclusively for two people per booking; infants can ride in a stroller but must sit on an adult’s lap.
