Per one customer who booked the Private Capri Boat Tour–Top Seller, "Roberto and his son Osvaldo put together the most incredible day in paradise for our honeymoon. We toured the beautiful coastline while learning about the history. Roberto took us to an unforgettable lunch spot that was private and delicious with gorgeous views. After lunch, we swam in the caves and took lots of incredible pictures. Roberto knows the best way to see Capri without having us wait in long lines at the typical tourist spots."

When booking private sightseeing tours in Capri, you can choose to see the island on land, by boat, or both—choose a tour that includes ideal activities for you and your group. Boat trips are best if you’d like to swim and see Capri’s famed grottoes and Faraglioni rock formations, while walking tours explore the island’s elegant gardens, villas, and piazzas. To do a little bit of everything, choose a full-day private tour. Double-check the final price before booking: some boat tours don’t include fees for fuel, docking, and other costs.

The advantage of private sightseeing tours in Capri is that they’re personalized, so be sure to communicate with your guide about what you want to do, both before and during the experience. That way, they’ll know to reserve you a scenic seaside table for lunch or take you to hidden coves for swimming. Wear comfortable walking shoes if you’ll be exploring the island on foot, and bring a towel, sunscreen, and motion-sickness medication for boat cruises.

Private boat tours of Capri typically pick you up from Marina Grande (or nearby cities such as Positano and Sorrento), and take you to see island highlights such as the Faraglioni rock formations, Blue Grotto, and Marina Piccola. You’re also likely to stop at secret snorkeling spots, seaside restaurants, or along the Amalfi Coast.

That depends. Departure times are usually around 10am for a full-day cruise that includes a stop for lunch, visits to towns such as Positano or Nerano, and plenty of time to swim and snorkel along the Capri coastline. If you’d prefer a shorter tour, opt for a sunset cruise to enjoy pretty views of the island.

Yes, many private boat tours in Capri provide refreshments on board. Water, soft drinks, and snacks are typically included in the tour fee, while alcoholic beverages may incur additional fees. Be sure to tell your guide if you’d like to have any specific drinks or snacks on the boat, or if you’d like to stop for lunch.

One of the best things about private boat cruises is that you can make stops as you wish, whether you’d like to snorkel in secret grottoes, sunbathe on a quiet beach, or swim with a view of the Faraglioni rock formations.

Wear a swimsuit and sandals for your private Capri boat tour, plus a cover-up for any stops on land. Hats are great for sun protection, but they can fly off as your boat picks up speed, so wear sunglasses and sunscreen instead. Bring a light jacket as well: it can get chilly on the water, especially as the sun sets.
