Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
The perfect tour to experience Capri in the early morning and avoid the island’s peak crowds.
Your journey begins with a scenic cruise along the stunning Sorrento coastline, where you’ll admire the charming fishing village of Marina Grande and the remains of an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC.
Upon arrival in Capri, you’ll head directly to the famous Blue Grotto. Please note that the visit to the Blue Grotto is subject to weather conditions and high tide.
Get ready to discover Capri’s most iconic coastal highlights from the sea: the legendary Faraglioni, the Green Grotto, the White Grotto and the historic Punta Carena Lighthouse.
Enjoy refreshing swimming stops in crystal-clear waters and approximately three hours of free time on the island to explore Capri at your own pace.
Return to Sorrento is expected around 3:15 pm.

A Must-Do for Your Trip in Italy

5.00We were beyond thrilled with this tour. The Skipper and Assistant Skipper were absolutely wonderful. We boarded a beautiful boat and cruised out to Capri island, with a few stops along the way. Unfortunately, the Blue Grotto was closed due to choppy water, but we got to drive by and see it anyway. Since we saved some time, we were able to spend 4 ours in Capri & Anacapri. Our guide gave us great details on the bus system and recommendations for getting around. We had an early tour, which meant that the island wasn't too crowded and we were able to ride the gondola. What a view! The scenery is absolutely stunning. We had ample time to walk around, have some lunch and do a little shopping. Capri was one of my favorite places to visit during our stay in Italy. After the boat picked us up, we made stops at the Green, White and Red Grottos and anchored for a while so everyone that wanted to could take a swim. It was so thrilling to swim in the Mediterranean Sea! They had some fun music playing on the boat and served drinks and fresh fruit and on the way back, our Skipper pointed out some famous homes. It was an absolutely lovely day and we were treated very well. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

5.00It was a wonderful experience; they treated us really well, and it was not only fun but also very educational. We visited the homes of iconic figures, swam in the ocean, ate delicious fruit, tasted Limoncello, and enjoyed some delicious drinks.

5.00I had an absolutely incredible experience on the MBS Blu Charter to Capri and the Blue Grotto, and Francisco and Raffaele made the day truly unforgettable. From start to finish, they were professional, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about creating an amazing experience for everyone on board. Their knowledge of Capri and the surrounding coastline added so much to the trip, and they made every moment feel relaxed, fun, and special. The scenery was breathtaking, the experience was seamless, and their hospitality made all the difference. Visiting Capri and the Blue Grotto was already a dream, but Francisco and Raffaele elevated it into one of the highlights of my entire trip to Italy. If you're considering booking with MBS Blu Charter, do it — and if you get Francisco and Raffaele, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend — 10/10!
Small group, small boat, great for people who boat!

5.00Nice boat, small group, very relaxing and scenic. I may not recommend for people who get motion sickness. There were waves and with a small boat, you feel it. One guest was sick the whole ride and we felt bad. The weather was a bit less cooperative but the guide and captain took great care of us and made it a great time! Would recommend and would go again!
