Itinerary
Departure from Capri or Sorrento
Your private sunset boat tour begins from the Marina of Capri or from Sorrento, depending on your preference. You will meet the captain at the port or we can arrange a private pickup at your hotel. From Capri, you immediately circle the island’s dramatic coastline. From Sorrento, you enjoy a scenic crossing of the Bay of Naples, with Capri rising from the sea ahead of you. Your local skipper sets a relaxed pace, allowing you to fully enjoy the changing colors of the sky and water.
Cruising Along Capri’s Coastline
Sailing around the island, you admire Capri’s most famous landmarks from the perfect perspective: the Faraglioni rocks, Marina Piccola, Punta Carena lighthouse, and hidden sea caves carved into the limestone cliffs. As the sun lowers, the white cliffs take on golden and rose tones, creating ideal conditions for photography and quiet appreciation.
Swimming Stop
If sea conditions allow, your skipper will stop in a sheltered bay for a refreshing swim. Floating in the calm Mediterranean waters at sunset, with Capri’s cliffs rising above you, is a peaceful and unforgettable moment. If you wish, you may skip the swimming and just enjoy the views and wine.
Sunset & Aperitivo at Sea
As the sun approaches the horizon, the boat is positioned to give you the best possible view. Enjoy a relaxed aperitivo onboard while the sky shifts through shades of gold, pink, and violet. The Faraglioni silhouetted against the sunset create one of Capri’s most iconic and romantic scenes, perfect for a toast, photos, or simply soaking in the moment.
Evening Return
As daylight fades into evening, you cruise back toward Capri or Sorrento under a pastel sky and emerging stars. You return to port in time for dinner, feeling unhurried, inspired, and deeply connected to the beauty of the island.
