Nico was so nice and very accommodating. I completely misread his instructions, (my fault!) and he was kind enough to take us for a shorter trip anyway. My family and I were so grateful for this as it was our only opportunity to visit Capri. He was kind and knowledgeable of the island. He offered us beers during the trip which just his the spot with the beautiful scenery. Would absolutely book with him again!

Nico was a wonderful captain. He gave us commentary (just the perfect amount - not constant just when needed or when we asked) and managed to get us so close to all the grottos. He found us beautiful places to swim and gave us noodles, masks and snorkels.
Towels, water and beer were provided. Nico was flexible and dropped us off at a beach club we had booked.
We watched all the packed tourist boats in the area and were so glad the 4 of us had our own private boat to ourselves. It was a wonderful experience for us. I highly recommend.

This was an amazing tour , Nico was a great captain and took us around the entire island of Capri where we had opportunity to swim and enjoy all the sights.

We had an amazing time and experience around Capri. Nico is really kind and show us the main sightseeing. The boat is gorgeous. This was the perfect experience for our honeymoon.
Unfortunately the blue grotto was closed :(

Nico was absolutely the best. Communicated great, boat was clean, safe and comfortable. Nico was super friendly and knowledgeable about the island. English was good. Tour was excellent and we highly recommend!

This was a phenomenal boat tour around Capri. Nico was our captain and he was the absolute best. He gave us our privacy while also explaining what we were passing and he took the best pictures of us when we asked. There were also some drinks on the boat which made it even better and more comfortable. I highly recommend and Nico again went above and beyond for everything we asked of him.

The tour was cancelled due to weather but working with Nico was easy.
If his tour is just as good I would go in a second. So I defintely would recommend them

Rebecca_A, May 2025
Nico did a great job of telling us about all the important spots we visited. He also was very accommodating to our requests. Would definitely recommend.
Barry_R, May 2025
Best way to see the island, visited all the grottos. The views were amazing, along with the crystal blue water.
Heather_N, May 2025
This boat tour was the highlight of our trip! Our captain, Nico, was friendly and very knowledgeable, answering our every little question like "What's that structure on the side of the cliff?" It was the most relaxing boat tour I have ever done. No wind smacking you in the face, making you feel like your sunglasses were going to fly off your head. I can't believe we got to see the entire island on this tour! It was better than we could have ever hoped for! 10/10 would recommend
Cassie_A, Apr 2025
This tour was amazing and well worth it! 3hrs was the perfect amount of time to get around to see all the stunning parts of Capri island. I'd suggest a longer time if you want to get out to see the Blue Grotto (as lines get long fast) but even without going inside those caves, we had plenty of time to visit several others, get off to swim a while and enjoy the ride. Nico was the best!! His boat was beautiful and had more than enough room to store our bags while we spent the day lounging on the sundeck. He was prompt and very communicative in helping us locate him and even assisted us in booking shuttle service to our hotel after (using his own phone). I would 10/10 recommend and book again (with Nico specifically) anytime!

Kendall_R, Jun 2024
We loved how nice the boat was! It offered drinks, floats, and snorkel masks. Nikko was the best!! He showed us all the important places and let us swim in multiple spots
Jagger_K, Jun 2024
Nico was outstanding, he knew everything about Capri and more! The pick up location was very easy to get to, he communicated all around. Definitely recommend.
GALIT_C, May 2024
Great experience with Nico! He was super efficient and did an amazing tour. Would definetly recommend if you want to see the beauty of capri!
Matthew_C, May 2024
The tour was amazing, our guide Nico was the absolute man. As a local, he truly made the experience great for us. He went at our speed and was full of knowledge while being very chill. I can’t recommend this tour (and especially Nico) enough.
Olivia_W, Oct 2023
Definitely one of the best days of our trip to Italy. It was so nice to be on our our private boat compared to the packed group tours. We got to swim and Nico provided drinks and a stereo so we could play music. He was fantastic with communication before and had clear instructions for us to meet him. The boat was also fantastic. It looked impeccable! It was such a relaxing and beautiful day!
Craig_F, Oct 2023
Relaxed half day around entire Isle of Capri. Plenty of time to soak in all the sights as well as have a swim in the sea. Nick was the perfect guide. Highly recommend.
roula_h, Jun 2023
We had a great time on this tour. Nico,
our captain, was very nice and handled the boat responsibly. He played music for us and offered us drinks. It was so relaxing having the boat exclusively for us.
Well worth the price!!
Jeff_S, Jun 2023
Nico our tour guide was very nice and did a great job. The tour had everything we wanted. Was promised lemoncello on description but did not happen
Alan_D, May 2023
Really the whole experience was great. The tour guys were fun and the boat very nice. I’ll be back. Capri is beautiful and you’ll never see a coast line like it.
James_N, Nov 2022
Arguably one of the best experiences on our trip to the Amalfi Coast. Everything was organized easily by communicating through WhatsApp and Nico contacted us the day before to make sure we knew when and where to meet. After the private boat tour, I don't think I could do a group tour because it was just nice to have the privacy of relaxing on the boat for a little extra cost. Completely worth it. Nico took us to a little cove where we dove in and enjoyed the blue waters. We tried to go to the blue grotto, but the line to get in would've been 2 hours, so we decided to maximize our time touring the island and relaxing instead. The next time we come back to Capri, we will definitely give Nico a call and we've already recommended him to all our friends!
Christina_S, Oct 2022
Nico was fantastic! Incredible experience! He was very knowledgeable about the island and very accommodating! Have great recommendations on activities on the island and we had the most fabulous meal ever from one of his recommendations! We will be rebooking with Nico next time we visit Capri and would strongly recommend booking with him when you visit!
Kristen_C, Oct 2022
Giuseppe was a great tour guide! He contacted us prior to the tour and was very thorough on the meeting point. He was on time and gave us information on every stop on the tour. We had a great time and wold recommend this tour to our family and friends!
Brian_L, Oct 2022
Nico was awesome! He had great communication and tailored our trip due to sea conditions. He was very knowledgeable about Capri and we were very comfortable on his boat. It is clear that he enjoys his job and knows how to handle himself on the water. Would definitely recommend!
Ramona_M, Jul 2022
Amazing way to experience Capri. Nico took us to all the grottos and has a lot of knowledge about the island. Swimming was our favorite part!
Kyle_K, Jul 2022
My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Nico for our boat cruise. He is very fluent in English and shared many things about the area with us. His boat is beautiful! He provided some snacks, towels, and noodles for swimming. Our only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. We will be sure to rebook with Nico in the future.
Suzanne_L, Jul 2022
We were in the Precious with Skipper Nico. Very friendly and beautiful views! nico also kept in touch with us via what’sapp and made sure we found our way.
