Where does the boat depart from in Naples?

We depart from Mergellina marina — the most elegant and accessible port in Naples, a 10-minute drive from most central hotels. Mergellina is easier to access than the main Naples cruise port.

Is hotel pickup included from Naples?

Yes, complimentary pickup is included from central Naples hotels (Chiaia, Mergellina, Santa Lucia, Centro Storico, Vomero). Guests staying in the suburbs or on the airport road can meet directly at Mergellina.

Is a private boat from Naples better than the ferry?

Yes — private gives you full control of the timing, direct access to Capri's hidden coves, a swim stop, no waiting in ferry queues, lunch at the restaurant of your choice, and door-to-door service. The ferry only gets you there; the boat gives you the day.

Can I visit the Blue Grotto?

Yes, the Blue Grotto is included in the itinerary. Entry is subject to sea conditions and requires a separate €18 ticket payable on site.

How do I skip the Capri landing fee?

Book lunch at a Capri restaurant — dining grants automatic island access with no separate landing fee and no queues. Your captain docks directly at the restaurant.

Can I depart from Naples airport or a cruise ship?

Yes, we can pick you up from Naples Capodichino airport or the cruise terminal. Extra transfer fees may apply — contact us for a quote.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure. Full refund via Stripe. No hidden fees.

What to expect on your Capri boat tour from Naples

Depart from Naples' Mergellina marina and cruise across the entire Bay of Naples to Capri. Vesuvius on your left, Sorrento on your right, Capri rising from the horizon — the most cinematic arrival to the island there is.

Skip the crowded ferry and cross the Bay of Naples on your own private boat. Board at Mergellina — Naples' most elegant marina — and set course for Capri with Vesuvius looming behind you.

The crossing from Naples to Capri takes about 90 minutes, and it's the route that shaped every postcard of the Bay. You'll pass Posillipo's villas, Nisida island, the volcanic Campi Flegrei coastline, then open water with Capri growing larger on the horizon.

Once at Capri, a full circumnavigation: Faraglioni, Natural Arch, White Grotto, Marina Piccola, and the legendary Blue Grotto if conditions allow. Swim stop in a hidden cove, lunch at a waterfront Capri restaurant with free island access, free time in the Piazzetta.

The return follows the coast toward sunset over Ischia and Procida — arguably the most photogenic route in the Mediterranean.
