A Deep Dive into the Experience

Starting from Positano

The journey begins with a pickup service, whisking you from your hotel to the marina. The boat itself is described as first-class, spacious, and well-equipped—perfect for a relaxed day on the water. We loved the way the crew’s hospitality begins early, offering beverages like prosecco, limoncello, and local snacks while you get comfortable. This sets a welcoming tone for the day ahead.

The Itinerary Breakdown

The Spiaggia Grande in Capri is the first major stop. It’s known for its fine sand and stunning views—a quintessential Mediterranean beach where you can lounge or dip into those crystal-clear waters. The reviews mention this as a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the vibrant seaside atmosphere.

Bagni di Tiberio offers a glimpse into Roman history. Their shallow waters, embraced by cliffs, were favored bathing spots for emperors Augustus and Tiberius. The proximity of the seaside villa still standing is a bonus for history lovers. It’s a quieter, more intimate spot where you can appreciate the old-world charm.

The Blue Grotto is a highlight. This natural wonder, where sunlight filters through the sea producing that famous electric blue glow, is a must-see. A boat ride into the grotto feels like stepping into an underwater fairy tale, and it’s easy to see why artists and poets have been inspired by this place for centuries. Though the tour notes that tickets are purchased separately if you want to visit, the chance to see it from your private boat makes the experience incredibly personalized.

Secret Coves and Unique Formations

Cala del Rio is a standout with its incredible natural scenery. The inclusion of a stunning villa of Dolce & Gabbana adds a touch of glamour, but the real treat is the Heart Cave, shaped like a love token carved into the rock. The quick 10-minute stop here allows a close-up view, which many reviews mention as a memorable part of the day.

Grotta dei Santi and Green Grotto continue the natural enchantment. The Saints Grotto, filled with stalactites resembling praying saints, creates an almost spiritual atmosphere. The Green Grotto, with its vibrant emerald waters, is another natural spectacle that leaves visitors in awe. Snorkeling gear is provided, so you can explore underwater, which several travelers found especially enjoyable.

Punta Ventroso is a peaceful pause, where you can relax on board, sip prosecco, or take a dip in the calm waters. The opportunity to swim and sip at this secluded spot is a favorite, as one review notes, “relaxing to the rhythm of music, enjoying a rich aperitif with dry and fresh snacks.”

The Mermaid’s Rock features legends of Ulysses—adding a mythical vibe to the day. The boat’s proximity allows for some fun photos and storytelling.

The Iconic Faraglioni and Villa Malaparte

The Faraglioni rocks are an unmistakable symbol of Capri, and getting up close is a real thrill. The 30-minute stop here provides ample time for photos, selfies, and soaking in the beauty of these legendary stacks, which have inspired countless works of art.

Malaparte Villa, perched dramatically on a cliff, is a photography highlight. Its minimalist, cubic architecture contrasts beautifully against the sea and sky, offering breathtaking views of the Faraglioni. Many reviews mention how iconic and photogenic the villa is—definitely a spot for those Instagram moments.

The White and Red Grottos

Grotta Bianca and Grotta Rossa are two of the most striking caves. The White Grotto’s crisp white limestone walls and the way sunlight dances through the entrance make it feel like a scene from a dream. The Red Grotto’s walls of deep red rock, glowing in the sunlight, create a warm, fiery ambiance. These caves are quick stops but leave a lasting impression thanks to their colors and shapes.

Mythical and Cultural Touches

The Cliff of Tiberius, with its tragic legend of prisoners condemned to fall to their deaths, adds a historical and somber note. Meanwhile, the Statue of the Scugnizzo, representing a fisherman, captures the lively spirit of Capri’s maritime roots. These details give the tour a well-rounded feel, balancing natural beauty with stories of the island’s past.

Four Hours on Land

The disembarkation point at Porto Turistico di Capri provides about four hours for exploring on your own. You can walk to the center via funicular or visit attractions like the Blue Grotto independently. This free time is highly valued, giving flexibility—an aspect many reviews praise. You can shop in luxury boutiques, stroll through charming alleys, or visit the Blue Grotto if you prefer. The included brochure makes planning easier.

Food, Drinks, and Comfort

Throughout the day, you’re treated to a variety of drinks, including prosecco and limoncello, with snacks and local specialties. The boat also provides snorkeling gear, towels, and restroom facilities, making the experience comfortable and hassle-free. Several travelers appreciated the onboard amenities—these small touches make a big difference in making the day feel special without extra expense.

The Overall Value

While the cost might seem high, the benefits are clear: private, tailored experience, expert guidance, and premium comfort. For those who enjoy exclusivity and personalized service, this tour offers a lot of value. Plus, the ability to customize stops and explore at your own pace differentiates it from more structured group trips.
