Private Jet Capri to Cavallo

Capri to Cavallo covers roughly 235 nautical miles, one of the shortest crossings on the network, suited to a very light jet such as the Phenom 100 or, on the shortest possible connection, a helicopter such as the Airbus H130, departing Capri Heliport high above the Bay of Naples. At this distance the flight takes around half an hour, offering a swift transfer between two of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after island escapes. Cavallo, the destination, forms part of the Lavezzi archipelago, a scatter of granite islands set within the Bonifacio Strait between Corsica and Sardinia. Capri’s dramatic limestone cliffs and glamorous piazzetta give way to a much quieter island character on arrival, one with no roads or vehicles, only sandy footpaths connecting a handful of villas tucked among maritime pines. Strong currents through the strait keep the surrounding sea remarkably clear, a quality that has long drawn sailors and helped Cavallo earn a discreet, largely European following, distinct from Capri’s more visible profile. Development has been kept deliberately minimal for decades, with owners favouring preservation of the granite landscape over any expansion of visitor capacity. There is no commercial centre here, just villa terraces overlooking the water and the occasional yacht anchored offshore. For travellers already enjoying Capri’s glamour, the short hop to Cavallo offers a striking change of register, trading a lively piazzetta for genuine seclusion and a few unhurried days of swimming and sailing away from any crowd. Even a brief stay allows for a swim off the rocks, an afternoon sail toward a neighbouring cove, and dinner lingering on a shaded terrace as evening falls.
