Private Jet Corsica to Capri

Corsica to Capri is a short island-to-island hop of 252 nautical miles, and a helicopter transfer suits it particularly well given the distances involved and the absence of a runway on Capri itself. An Airbus H130 departing Calvi-Sainte-Catherine climbs clear of Corsica’s rugged northern coastline before tracking south across open water, offering passengers a clear view of the Tyrrhenian Sea below that a higher-altitude jet routing would not provide. The approach into Capri Heliport, on the saddle between Capri town and Anacapri, is a fitting close to a crossing between two of the Mediterranean’s more dramatically shaped islands. From the heliport, guests are close to the Faraglioni sea stacks, best appreciated from the terraces of the Gardens of Augustus, and to the Piazzetta, where Capri’s evening promenade continues largely unchanged from its mid-twentieth-century heyday. Marina Grande, the island’s principal harbour, handles a steady stream of boats through the summer season. Guests moving between Corsica and Capri are often continuing a broader tour of the western and central Mediterranean’s more storied coastlines, and the H130’s short-hop efficiency keeps this particular leg brief regardless of how the rest of the itinerary is arranged. For travellers who value directness over convention, this route bypasses any need for a connection through mainland Italy entirely, delivering guests from one island’s cliffs to another’s within the length of a single short flight. Guests with time to spare often continue on to Anacapri or take a boat around the coastline to see the Grotta Azzurra from the water, extending what might otherwise be a brief stop into a fuller day on the island.
