Typical island loops start around €24. Sorrento day trips with swim stops and a host generally range from ~€65–€125+ depending on inclusions and season.

Usually the cruise with skipper, required safety gear, and mobile e-ticket. Many tours add a drink or limoncello, and some include snacks and snorkel gear. Hotel transfers are common on Sorrento/Naples day trips. Check each product’s “What’s Included” section for specifics.

No—entry depends on the sea state and local authorities. If the cave is closed due to swells or wind, skippers usually visit other grottos (Green/White) or extend swim time. If open, expect a separate on-site fee for the rowboat service and potential queues at peak times.

A full island loop is usually 1.5–2.5 hours with Faraglioni, grottos, and photo stops. Sorrento or Naples day trips often run 7–9 hours including crossings, swim stops, and free time on Capri. Choose a loop if you’re short on time; pick a day trip for a fuller experience.

On Capri, most tours leave from Marina Grande. From the mainland, departures are commonly from Sorrento (Marina Piccola) and Naples (Molo Beverello/Porta di Massa). Your voucher confirms the exact meeting point—arrive 15–20 minutes early.

Many cruises include a swim stop in sheltered coves; some provide snorkel masks. Swimming is not permitted inside the Blue Grotto. Bring a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water shoes if you have sensitive feet.

Morning sailings often have calmer seas and shorter waits at caves. Midday gives luminous water color in grottos. Sunset is perfect for Faraglioni photos. Peak season runs May–September; April and October are quieter with mild weather.

Access varies by vessel and pier—there may be steps to board. Many operators assist with strollers and provide life jackets for children. If mobility is a concern, contact the operator with details (ramp width, seating, restroom access) before booking.

Non-slip shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and a light layer—decks can be breezy. Pack a towel, water, and reef-safe sunscreen. For photos, a wrist strap or waterproof sleeve helps keep phones safe.

Yes. Ferries run from Naples and Sorrento to Marina Grande. You can book an island loop on arrival, but pre-booking is safer on busy days and if you want a specific time or small-group boat.

Many tours include a soft drink or limoncello; some offer snacks. Policies on outside food vary—check the listing. Keep cups secure; it can be windy on deck.

Small-group boats keep costs down and still reach coves efficiently. Private charters cost more but let you customize stops, timing, and pace—great for families or celebrations.

Most operators offer reduced child fares. Swim-stop rules vary (life jackets required for kids; some boats set minimum ages for open-sea swims). Check your chosen tour’s policy.

If you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking medication 30–60 minutes beforehand and sit near the stern. Listen to the crew’s safety briefing, wear life jackets when asked, and keep valuables in a waterproof pouch.

Small boats generally don’t allow large luggage. Bring only a day bag. Drones are often restricted or require permission—ask your operator and follow local regulations.
