Hotels near A Boat Trip to Capri

A boat trip to Capri is the classic Amalfi Coast day out, and the island sits a short ferry ride offshore, roughly 30 to 50 minutes from Positano, Amalfi, or Sorrento depending on the service. Capri rewards a full day with the buzzy Piazzetta, the cliff-framed Faraglioni sea stacks, the Gardens of Augustus, and a chairlift up Monte Solaro for the widest view. The famous Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is weather-dependent and often has long queues.

Capri is expensive and busy, so an early ferry and a loose plan beat trying to cram everything into one visit.

Pro Tip: Take the first ferry of the day and head straight to the Blue Grotto or Monte Solaro before the cruise crowds land in late morning - by midday both the queues and the cafe prices on the Piazzetta climb sharply.
