The boat cruises along the Sorrento coastline, then heads straight to the Blue Grotto on arrival in Capri, if sea conditions allow. You then circle the island to see the Faraglioni rocks, the Green and White Grottoes and the Punta Carena Lighthouse, with a swim stop in clear water. On the full-day options you get about 3 hours of free time ashore to explore Capri on your own.
