Capri Boat Tour from Vico Equense

The real advantage of Vico Equense is the combination of the boat day with everything else this remarkable town offers. After a morning at sea, return to Vico for dinner at Pizza a Metro da Gigino — the legendary 1930s pizzeria where pizza is served by the metre, the original of every "pizza al metro" you have ever seen. Walk the Antiche Mura promenade above the cliffs, visit the Santissima Annunziata cathedral built on the volcanic rock, or descend to Marina di Equa for an aperitivo at sunset. Vico Equense is a town where Italians actually live; it is not staged for tourists, and the restaurants serve what locals eat. Find more things to do in the Sorrento area.

Alternative routing — private charter from Marina di Equa: rather than transferring to Sorrento, you can charter a private boat directly from Vico Equense's own marinas (Marina di Equa or the historic Marina di Vico at the base of the cliff). The crossing to Capri is slightly longer (40–55 minutes from Equa) but you skip the road transfer, board directly from your nearest port and have complete control of the itinerary. We charter gozzos, day cruisers and yachts for two to twelve guests, each with a licensed skipper. Private charters start from €600 for half a day; full days with lunch at anchor are typically €900–€1,500. Explore private boat options.

Logistics: shared tours are €80 per person; child rates available. The road transfer from Vico Equense to Marina Piccola is priced per car. See live pricing for the Vico Equense to Sorrento transfer. Parking in Vico is free in many residential areas — easier than central Sorrento. The Circumvesuviana stops at Vico Equense station, connecting to Sorrento in about 8 minutes for those preferring the train. Most boat tours return between 16:30 and 18:00; allow another 25–30 minutes for the road back to Vico, then time to change for dinner before your Gigino reservation at 20:00 (booking strongly advised in summer).

BlueKeys operators follow the Gulf of Naples National Park guidelines — no anchoring on protected seagrass beds, no single-use plastics aboard, motors off during swim stops. The Blue Grotto closes in rough seas (8–15 days per season); the skipper checks conditions the night before and offers the White Grotto, Green Grotto and longer swimming time as alternatives. Children of all ages welcome; child life jackets and kid-sized snorkelling masks provided. The Faraglioni Arch passage is a highlight for guests of every age.
