Visiting the Blue Grotto: Fast Track into Capri’s Most Famous Sea Cave

One of the key highlights of this tour is the visit to the Blue Grotto, which is carefully scheduled to avoid long waits. The tour allows visitors to access the grotto upon arriving in Capri, maximizing your time inside this world-renowned sea cave. The visit is subject to weather and sea conditions, so flexibility is essential.

While the admission ticket for the Blue Grotto is not included in the tour price, the convenience of skipping queue issues makes this stop especially appealing. The grotto’s electric blue waters and the natural light filtering through the opening create a surreal experience, often described as a must-see on the island.

Exploring the White Grotto and the Green Grotto for Natural Wonder

After the Blue Grotto, the yacht sails to the White Grotto, where the white limestone rocks contrast beautifully with the blue sea. This 20-minute stop allows for stunning photos of the stalactites and stalagmites within the cave. The free admission makes this a worthwhile quick visit.

Next, the Green Grotto offers another unique scene. Classified as a secondary grotto formed by destructive phenomena, it features the oldest sedimentary rock on Capri—dolomite. The 10-minute stop here provides an opportunity to appreciate the natural geological history of the island without additional costs.

Visiting the Punta Carena Lighthouse and the Historic Fort Route

The Punta Carena Lighthouse is a short 10-minute stop that offers spectacular views of the old Bourbon forts and the historic lighthouse, one of the oldest in Italy. From this vantage point, visitors admire the rugged coastline and the maritime heritage that lines the island’s edge.

This stop is perfect for capturing scenic photos and learning about Capri’s lighthouse history, adding a touch of cultural significance to the day’s natural splendors.

Nearby, the Piazzetta offers a bustling scene with cafes and restaurants where you can savor an aperitif while soaking in the elegant ambiance. The blend of luxury shopping, people-watching, and scenic views makes Marina Grande a perfect stop for those wanting a taste of Capri’s cosmopolitan spirit.

Passing the Faraglioni for Iconic Views and Swimming Opportunities

After exploring the island’s center, the yacht passes under the famous Faraglioni, the towering rock formations that define Capri’s skyline. This 30-minute stop includes a chance for swimming in the clear waters or simply admiring the natural beauty from the boat.

The Faraglioni are among the most photographed symbols of Capri, and this view from the water offers a memorable photo opportunity. The natural arch, created by centuries of erosion, adds a dramatic backdrop to the day’s sightseeing.

Sailing to Positano: From the Island to the Coastal Cliffs

The journey continues with a slow sail from Capri to Positano, taking about an hour. Positano’s dramatic cliffside setting, with colorful buildings cascading down to the sea, is a highlight of the Amalfi Coast. This part of the tour provides a relaxing cruise with plenty of opportunities to take photos of the iconic coastline.

While the focus remains on the water and scenery, travelers can also appreciate the chance to unwind on the spacious yacht while enjoying the fresh sea breeze.
