Pompeii and Capri

The premier choice for families and cruise passengers: Experience the magic of Pompeii and Capri by boat in just one day.

Your flawless day begins with total comfort. Whether you are staying in a hotel on the Amalfi Coast or arriving at your cruise ship terminal, our professional, private English-speaking chauffeur will pick you up and escort you directly to the port. Because this is an entirely private experience, we can tailor and design the timeline around your specific wishes, flight times, or ship departure schedules, ensuring a completely stress-free journey.

Once on board your private boat, your captain will set sail across the bay toward Castellammare di Stabia, the gateway to the Pompeii excavations. During this short, scenic navigation, you will admire the Sorrento peninsula from an exclusive vantage point from the sea. As you cruise past the ruins of ancient Roman maritime villas, it becomes easy to see why the European aristocracy considered this coastline a mandatory stop on the historic Grand Tour. Are you ready for the most fascinating journey ever?

Pompeii, step back into 79 AD

Upon docking, your private vehicle will take you straight to Pompeii, where you will spend approximately 3 hours discovering the legendary Roman ruins.

On a fateful day in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the city under a fury of volcanic ash. Paradoxically, this ash protected Pompeii from the elements, preserving it in near-perfect condition for centuries. Today, you can explore a remarkably preserved display of ancient mosaics, colorful murals, historic plazas, and even intact everyday pottery.

Setting Sail for Capri

After your archaeological adventure, you will head back to the boat and cruise toward Capri. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the coastal ruins of Villa Polio (the famous Bagni Regina Giovanna). This is the perfect spot to drop anchor for a refreshing swim or some snorkeling around the marine protected area of Punta Campanella, where lucky guests occasionally meet friendly local dolphins.

As the celebrated Faraglioni rocks appear on the horizon, you’ll know you have officially arrived in Capri—the ultimate setting for honeymooners and romantic proposals.

We will cruise around the island's most fascinating caves and creeks, from the hidden emerald waters of the Green Grotto to the outstanding lighthouse of Punta Carena (the backdrop of Paolo Sorrentino’s award-winning film, "La Grande Bellezza").

To conclude your experience, you will have free time to explore the island on land. Take the panoramic funicolare (funicular) straight up to the worldwide renowned Piazzetta, affectionately nicknamed "The Theater of the World." Enjoy a relaxing coffee break at Gran Caffè Vuotto, indulge in some luxury shopping, and capture fabulous views from the Belvedere of the Gardens of Augustus.

As the sun begins to dip, we will sail smoothly back, closing a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Your private driver will be waiting at the port to comfortably escort you back to your hotel or ship terminal well ahead of departure.
