This was a really great trip, with panoramic scenery from start to finish, plenty of time for swimming in the Mediterranean, and helpful/friendly guides. The small group format worked well - my group was friendly and fun, and it had the feeling of a private tour. Would definitely recommend this tour - it was a highlight of my visit to Italy.

Pass the natural arch and the Villa Malaparte, the former home of the Italian writer Curzio Malaparte, on the way to the Faraglioni sea stacks. Here, take a dip and enjoy “happy hour” snacks and drinks.

Capri boat tour with Dinello and Francesca

Angie_C, Oct 2026
Francesca and Dinello were awesome hosts of their beautiful boat. They were very knowledgeable and took us to all points of interest. Tour was enjoyable and beautiful.

Francesca and Nello are amazing!

Jade_D, Oct 2026
Francesca and Nello were perfetta. Tanti ciao’s, tanto amore. Couldn’t asked for a better crew. Grazie!!! Prego!!

Amazing boat tour

Brent_S, Oct 2026
Francesca and Nello were amazing guides. They showed us all the beautiful grottos around Capri and were wonderful hosts. Would highly recommend.

Lovely Boat Tour

eviwolf, Oct 2026
The tour itself was lovely with the opportunity for several swims. The captain navigated the boat well. The group was small, which is always a plus. A major issue was finding the exact meeting point. Directions were not good at all. I could write much better directions. Even Itlalian police or the tourist office could not figure it out. Good we had plenty of time to sort it out. Other issues. Snacks were awful. Limoncello was a plus. The captain was a sweet guy but smoking should nit be permitted. The English of the crew was not good so communication was compromised. I would have appreciated a knowledgeable crew could offer some history, anecdotes, geological data etc, so something educational and entertaining. At this time of year, early October, we could simply have gone to the port and explored assorted small boat tours at lower prices. Having said that, whether it’s possible to find animated and interesting crew who narrate, I would not know.

Fun tour, got to swim in...

Pavitra_S, Oct 2026
Fun tour, got to swim in green grotto. Not as much free stuff as advertised but good semi private relaxing tour of the island.

Great boat tour and views of the island!

Luis_F, Oct 2026
It was a great experience, recommended 100%. Don’t forget your swimsuit. We were just 10 and it was super comfortable for all. Enjoy!

The guide and captain go out of their way to show off Capri and make sure you have a good time. Couldn't have been better.

Great boat ride!

Alexander_G, Sept 2026
We really enjoyed this boat ride! Meeting point was easy to find and our tour leader (Francesco) was friendly. The boat was clean and comfortable. Fresh fruit, chips, and drinks (beer/wine/water/soda/limoncello) were provided and the leader and captain were both very attentive and frequently asked if we needed anything else. There is a bathroom on board but we didn’t use it. The tour itself was great, we got to go around the whole island and see the highlights, including the Fraglioni rocks and some small caves. This tour did not include the blue grotto but we weren’t interested in that, which is why we selected this tour. We left the marina on time but we did arrive back about 20 mins early (total about an hour and 40 mins, Viator said it would be 2 hrs). This was no big deal, I expect this was due to ideal weather/sea conditions which enabled us to move at a good pace around the island. There was one 20 minute swimming stop but it was in an area with many other boats and people swimming. Overall, felt like we got exactly what we booked and paid for so would definitely recommend! Great way to spend an afternoon in Capri!

So Much fun

James_f, Sept 2026
We had a great time. So relaxing. Our younger daughters all really enjoyed getting in the water and swimming in the grottoes. Both our captain and guide showed us amazing sites. As for the older ladies both crew members were very friendly and helpful to us. Thanks for the great experience 💖💖💖💖

Highlight of the Amalfi trip

Dania_A, Sept 2026
This tour was the highlight of our trip. Don’t hesitate to book it. The swimming stop is a must-do. Otherwise, Capri is not much different from our base (Positano), but this tour makes all the difference. We will cherish the memories forever!!!

Rough start great finish

Joey_M, Sept 2026
Not one person knew where your meeting place was and nobody at the meeting place could tell me a thing about the boat, where it was, when it would be there. The workers at the meeting place were all rude as hell and unwilling to help. Between the eight of us getting on the boat we're were able to confirm we were in the right place. The guys on the boat were fantastic. The trip was fantastical

Great experience

ludovica energy was always 100% she made tour a great experence, giuseppe is a good captain i barely felt any waves

Highly recommended! A great activity.

Eszter_B, Aug 2026
We went on a beautiful boat and we were very lucky that there were only six of us on the trip. The captain and his assistant were really cool, kind, and helpful. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the rock formations around the island. During the tour, we stopped twice to swim in absolutely stunning locations. It is an unforgettable experience and a must-do if you are vacationing in Capri. I highly recommend it!

Boat tour capri

Christy_S, Jul 2026
The tour guide called us before the tour to help us find the location. It was difficult to find on our own so that was nice. Everything was comfortable and we had a good time. The guide was very good.

This was a fun...

Isabella_G, Jul 2026
This was a fun experience, I will say however, it is a little overpriced for the amount of time of the tour. You only get to swim for about 20 minutes, and the rest of the time is spend driving around on the boat. Ana was an amazing host, very friendly, had a fun and positive attitude. We had snacks and drinks on board. Overall it was good, my only complaint is how expensive it is.

Guide anna was awesome

Xavier_C, Jul 2026
10/10. Nice boat, not overcrowded. The guide, Anna, was awesome- she kept the energy up and was super friendly. great experience

Nice trip around the island with friendly co-passengers and staff. Especially the opportunity to swim in the clear waters was great.

It was an amazing trip! We were able to see the green grotto up close and also stopped for a swim. The crew of two was the best offering some snacks and drinks along the way!
