Real experiences from real travelers
The small group tour was perfect. Only 12 of us, so it felt very personal. Captain Luca was amazing and told us so many stories about the caves. The swimming stop near the Faraglioni was a dream come true!
Capri is beautiful. The boat ride from Sorrento was smooth and the views of the coastline are incredible. The Blue Grotto was very crowded, so we skipped the entry and swam in the Green Grotto instead—highly recommend doing that!
Ho prenotato il tour privato per il compleanno di mio marito. È stata un'esperienza indimenticabile. Prosecco, sole e il mare di Capri. Il capitano è stato gentilissimo. Vale ogni centesimo.
For $78, this was the best value tour we did. 8 hours of fun, including 4 hours on the island. The boat was clean, and the limoncello tasting at the end was a great touch. Definitely book in advance!
The colors of the water in the White and Green grottos are even better than the photos. We had plenty of time to explore Anacapri. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Tiberius and the island's history.
Well organized from start to finish. Pickup from our Sorrento hotel was on time. The boat was comfortable and the 3.5 hours on Capri was enough to see the Gardens of Augustus and have a quick lunch.
If you are in Sorrento, you have to do this boat tour. Seeing the island from the water is the only way to truly appreciate its beauty. The Faraglioni rocks are much bigger in person!
We booked the 28ft premium boat for our family. Being able to customize where we stopped to swim made it so much better than the ferry. The crew was professional and the boat was luxurious.
Everything you need to know for your journey
No, the entrance fee to the Blue Grotto (approx. €18) is typically not included. This is because entry depends on weather conditions and sea levels, and the fee is paid directly to the rowing boat operators at the cave entrance.
A shared tour usually has a maximum of 12 to 14 people and follows a set itinerary, while a private tour gives you the entire boat and skipper for your group, allowing for a customizable schedule and more privacy.
Yes, almost all full-day boat tours from Sorrento include between 3 to 5 hours of free time on the island. You will be dropped off at either Marina Grande or Marina Piccola to explore at your leisure.
Most tours use stable, traditional 'Gozzo' boats, but if you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking a preventative remedy 30 minutes before departure. Sitting at the back of the boat where there is less motion also helps.
Most tours do not include a full meal but provide snacks, sandwiches, or appetizers along with drinks like water, soda, and limoncello. Some premium tours may offer a light lunch on board, but most guests eat during their free time on the island.
Yes, most tours include at least one or two 20-30 minute swimming stops in scenic spots like the Green Grotto or near the Faraglioni rocks, depending on sea conditions. Snorkeling masks are usually provided.
Safety is the priority. If the sea conditions are too rough, the tour will be canceled. You will typically be offered an alternative date or a full refund through our booking partners.
Tours usually depart from Marina Piccola or Marina Grande in Sorrento. Many operators offer a complimentary pickup service from central Sorrento hotels to the departure pier.
Yes, these tours are very popular with families. Children enjoy the boat ride and swimming stops. However, please note that some small-group boats may have age minimums (usually 3+ years), so check the specific tour details before booking.
