If you’re planning a luxurious boat tour of Capri, you’re in for a treat. Not only does the island offer some of the most picturesque views and crystal clear waters in the Mediterranean, it's also home to world-class dining. Why not combine it all, with a waterfront lunch on your private boat charter day?
For those seeking an unforgettable dining experience, there are several top-notch restaurants in Capri that offer tender service—so you can arrive in style directly from your boat.
These waterfront spots combine great food, attentive service, amazing views, and convenient boat access, so you can skip the crowds (and port fees!) at Marina Grande. These are the top picks for the most incredible lunch spots in Capri on your private boat charter day:
Il Riccio
Nestled on a breathtaking terrace with sweeping views of Capri and Sorrento, Il Riccio offers a dining experience like no other. Since 2013, this chic, blue-and-white haven near the Blue Grotto has become one of the island's top culinary destinations. Known for its exquisite Mediterranean cuisine and iconic dessert room, Il Riccio combines luxury with a relaxed, cosmopolitan vibe.
A must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional food and views, Il Riccio definitely requires advance booking and is managed by Jumeirah Capri Palace Hotel.
La Fontelina
If you’re looking for a quintessential beach club atmosphere, La Fontelina is your destination. Nestled amidst dramatic cliffs directly opposite famous Faraglioni rocks, this restaurant invites you to "take a seat under the pretty pergola, order a glass of refreshing white wine and relax with the soothing sounds of the sea".
Their seafood dishes are a highlight, as is the laid-back vibe, making it an ideal spot to unwind with friends while savouring the delicious local menu. After indulging in your meal, take a quick dip in the turquoise waters right at your doorstep. With its own water taxi service from Marina Piccola, La Fontelina requires advance bookings.
Da Gioia by La Palma
Nestled in a prime position right on the water at Marina Piccola, Da Gioia by La Palma is a highly chic yet laid-back option embracing the timeless romance of the island. Its beautiful terrace and dining room overlook the hotel's exclusive beach club, with incredibly clear water and glimpses of the faraglioni rocks.
Under the direction of Michelin-starred chef Gennaro Esposito, the menu emphasises fresh, locally sourced produce, and serves unpretentious, authentic Italian cuisine in a stunning setting. A tender service caters to private boat clientele and advance booking is recommended.
Restaurant Bagni di Tiberio
Restaurant Bagni di Tiberio is set right on the water surrounded by history: it is at the site of Emperor Tiberius' summer villa "Palazzo a Mare", one of 12 villas he built on the island during ancient Roman times. This was his favourite swim spot, and you can still see the remains of the villa among the rocks!
Families will appreciate the friendly and welcoming environment, with terraces that provide stunning views of the sea and the Bay of Naples, and the great mix of local cuisine on the menu. This informal family-run restaurant is great for enjoying good food in a setting that celebrates the island's incredible history, with a nice beach on site for a swim. As for all Capri's waterfront restaurants, advance booking is highly recommended.
