Private Capri Boat Tour in a Luxury Gozzo Apreamare 35ft

Experience the Beauty of Capri on a Private Luxury Gozzo Boat

Imagine yourself on a private boat cruise, gliding along the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Naples, with the luxury Gozzo Apreamare 35ft beneath you. This tailored 8-hour tour in Sorrento offers a perfect blend of sightseeing, relaxation, and indulgence, making it an ideal way to explore Capri with an intimate group of up to 12 people. For a price of roughly $2,293, you’ll enjoy a personal skipper, refreshing beverages, and the chance to discover some of Italy’s most stunning coastlines and caves.

What we love most about this experience is how personalized and luxurious it feels—you’re not just another face in a large tour group, but a guest in a well-appointed boat with attentive staff. The scenic stops along the coast, especially the ancient Roman ruins and medieval towers, add a touch of history to your day. And of course, the highlight—the Blue Grotto and other caves—are unforgettable sights that leave you with memories to cherish.

A potential consideration is the price, which may seem steep for some travelers, especially if you’re on a tighter budget. Also, the Blue Grotto entrance fee (€18 per person) is optional and not included, which adds a little extra to your costs. But if you value comfort, exclusivity, and a flexible itinerary, this tour is well worth it.

This stretch offers a chance to soak in the breathtaking coastline, with rugged cliffs, lush greenery, and the Atlantic breeze. The captain shares stories of local legends, making the scenery come alive.

Arriving at Capri and Exploring its Wonders

Upon reaching Capri, your skipper will guide you through the famous caves—the White Grotto, Green Grotto, and, of course, the Blue Grotto, which has earned its fame worldwide. The Blue Grotto entrance fee (€18) is optional, but most guests find the experience worth the small extra cost, especially since you get to see the glowing blue waters inside.

You’ll have about 2.5 hours on the island itself, giving enough time to explore Capri town and Anacapri. Expect a lively, upscale atmosphere with boutique shops, luxurious cafes, and panoramic viewpoints. Whether you shop for handmade leather sandals or simply enjoy the glamour and charm of this famed island, you’ll find plenty to love.

Leisure Time on Capri

After the initial exploration, there’s a generous four hours of free time. You might choose to:
– Stroll through Capri’s narrow streets, soaking up its chic ambiance.
– Have lunch at a seaside restaurant, enjoying fresh seafood or local specialties.
– Relax on the boat, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or snorkel around the caves.

The flexibility here is key—your skipper can help plan your time based on your preferences, ensuring you maximize your experience.
