Last ferries leave Capri 4–6 PM. Book tours ending by 3 PM to guarantee a return ferry. Summer months have more sailings; winter has just 2–3 daily ferries.
The cave entrance closes in rough seas and high winds. Morning tours (7–9 AM) have the best weather odds. Book tours with "Blue Grotto weather guarantee" when available.
Early morning (6–8 AM) and late afternoon (3–5 PM) tours are far less crowded. Capri Town's main square gets overwhelming by midday in summer.
Restaurant and boat staff rely on tips (€5–10). Many smaller restaurants don't accept cards. Bring €50–100 euros just in case.
Tours with hotel pickup are worth the €5–10 premium. You avoid navigating Naples/Sorrento at 6 AM and get more rest.
