Getting Around

Charter & Villas
Two friends swear by this boat charter company. They'll pick you up on the mainland, take you to lesser known swimming areas, bring you to Capri in style and wait for you while you eat lunch. Definitely a pricier option than taking the ferry but worth it for a special day or two. Tip: Pack a picnic and wine to be enjoyed as you sail around the grottos of Capri.
