Capri Shared Fishing Trip from Sorrento — Fishing, Swimming & Island Sights
Board a working fishing boat in Sorrento, head to Capri for guided fishing, a swim in crystalline water, and a few hours to explore the island. This shared trip mixes sea skills, coastal geology, and Campania flavors into a single, full-day experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring seasickness relief
The Tyrrhenian can be calm but choppy; preventative medication or wristbands can make the day far more enjoyable.
Wear non-slip footwear
Fisherman-style deck shoes or grippy trainers help when boarding, moving on deck, and stepping onto quay stones in Capri.
Protect from sun and spray
High SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses matter—sun reflects strongly off open water.
Waterproof camera or dry bag
Bring a secure place for your phone and camera; swims and splashes are likely during stops for a dip.
