Just got back from an incredible trip to Capri, and the highlight was without a doubt a semi private boat tour around the island. It was the most perfect way to experience its breathtaking beauty.
Our captain and guide, Andrea, was truly fantastic. He skillfully navigated the crystal-clear waters, sharing fascinating facts and stories about the island along the way. Also kept giving us bottomless prosecco and beer.
The tour offered a unique perspective, allowing us to see hidden coves and grottos that you simply can't appreciate from the land. The sun's warmth and the gentle sea breeze created the perfect atmosphere.
While the famous Blue Grotto was interesting to see, the true highlight was getting to swim in the sea around the island. The crystal-clear water was absolutely perfect and provided a refreshing, unforgettable experience. We also admired other incredible rock formations and the captivating coastline. The entire journey was a delightful adventure filled with stunning views and lasting memories.
I wholeheartedly recommend booking this tour to anyone visiting Capri. It was the best experience of our trip and a truly memorable adventure.

Marco was absolutely wonderful and the tour was amazing. We saw so much and swam in the most beautiful waters. Definitely would recommend. The address listed in the description brought me to a shop?? But the one provided in the greeting email brought me to the pier. So I had just a little confusion since I didn’t have much service and the address I saved in my maps was for the shop. Was a few mins behind because I was lost but I got on WiFi and Marco texted to check on our location.

Really enjoyed Pasquale and Antonio on our ride around Capri. Fun, accommodating and humorous. Food was solid (maybe some additional local pasta salads would be nice) and drinks were very available.

The Day before the tour find the exact dock that you will depart from by asking locals or Hotel staff because the meeting point that was sent to us was in a parking lot. They have 2 main docks in Amalfi one is strictly for the Ferry's the other are for tours. This knowledge will eliminate A Lot of stress. Other than that it was one of the most incredible adventures ever ❤️ Our Captin was Marco If you are lucky enough to get him you'll be blessed. We stopped for lunch at Maria Grazia the whole experience was the best. Our group of 10 from different parts of the country by the end of the tour we became like family.

What a beautiful experience!!! The boat tour was espectacular showing the amazing views of Capri. The crew Antonio and Pasquale made the trip more enjoyable. Swimming in the turquoise blue water and later having prosecco/limoncello completed a marvelous experience!!! Grazie !!

We had such a wonderful time on our Capri boat tour! While we didn’t visit the Blue Grotto during the tour due to the long wait, our group decided it wasn’t worth the delay, (We went back the next day on foot and only waited about 20 minutes, which worked out perfectly.) The tour itself was fantastic and brought us to some of the most beautiful spots around Capri. The boat was well-equipped with towels, snacks, drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and even limoncello. Overall, it was an amazing experience that we would highly recommend!

Tour was good, but over hyped. We walked down to the entrance after taking the bus. Got on small row boat and went into the grotto.
Craig_R, Sep 2025

We had the best time on our boat tour around Capri! The Blue grotto was closed because of the rough water, but we still enjoyed the experience!
Omid_A, Aug 2025
Great experience!
Only thing i will mention is that THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE GOING INTO THE BLUE GROTTO! That is a separate fee when you get to the grotto.
ALSO, you will not be going in the island of Capri, but rather exploring around the island via boat. If you’re not easily nauseous, this is a great experience and you’ll have great hosts!
Joey_M, Aug 2025
This boat trip was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Antonio and Ortiz were our hosts and were awesome! Unfortunately a part of the group missed the boat due to issues with their ferry from Sorrento, but it made for an amazing trip for us since there were only 3 guests on the boat!
Antonio and Ortiz had drinks and snacks ready for us and made the entire trip educational, informative, and so much fun. We got to swim in multiple places, saw unbelievable views, and just had a ton of fun. Don’t hesitate to book this trip!

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a professional but extremely fun boat tour.. thank you so much guys it was the best time in capri
Jeremy_S, Aug 2025
I want to start by saying that the staff on board were great. I’d advise against booking this experience though and go with an experience that doesn’t involve the blue grotto. The weather was perfect but the water was just a bit choppy causing them to close the grotto down. Apparently that was the case all week and happens very often. Paying the premium to gamble at seeing the grotto just isn’t worth it at all. I also asked for a partial refund and wasn’t granted one.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We’re pleased you appreciated our crew’s work — they truly go above and beyond for our guests. As for the Blue Grotto, we’d like to remind you that we are not the owners or managers of the site, and we have absolutely no power to decide when it opens or closes. Those decisions are made by the local authorities for safety reasons, and yes, sometimes the sea can look calm while still being unsafe to enter.
It’s unfortunate to read such an unthoughtful review, but we understand that thoughtful reviews don’t usually come from unthoughtful minds.

The experience was excellent , Pasquale was very attentive to the entire group and constantly gave us the best service. The food, the drinks, and especially the captain, who took us to spectacular caves. It was a beautiful day.
Jim_D, Jul 2025
This tour was the highlight of our honeymoon. The boat took us all around Capri, seeing the many famous grottos, caves and landmarks, and ended with ~30 minutes to jump off the boat and swim in the ocean. Valerio and Vincenzo were funny, informative, and made the trip a great time. We can't emphasize enough how amazing the afternoon was and would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Melissa_L, Jul 2025
16/10 was one of the best parts of our trip to Italy! My friend as I booked the experience not knowing what to expect and almost didn’t show up to it once we got here.
The captains made everything so fun for the group and within minutes we were all making friends with each other, laughing until tears, jumping into the water, taking pictures together. The blue grotto experience was made so exciting by the men who drive you from the boat into the canoe and through the grotto. They are hilarious and they sing to you while you’re in there.
The food was delicious and it was an overall wonderful experience!

We knew there were thunderstorms predicted but trusted the company knew what they were doing when they decided to go out. Long story short the conditions got dangerous quickly and we were picked up and brought ashore by another boat. We landed in a small town where we were left to our own devices to figure out how to get back. There was no further contact by the tour company to help us get back or even check on us to ensure we got back to Positano safely. The boat crew was good under the circumstances and did reach out on WhatsApp.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Ciao Diane,
as usual, people that wants complain at all cost, do it.
Just to let you know, the boat which came to take you back in Positano was ours, and the main office (you say was absent) cared about all needed to do it. The booking had been completely refund and, if not clear, yestarday was unexected for everyone on the Amalfi Coast.
Anyway, thanks for the nonsense and not of the case one star review you released, as you can see, you are among a few who are not able to understand, but ony complain.

Great experience , awesome views and scenery, great company, entertaining, drinks and food included!
PAMELA_G, Jun 2025
Amazing day on the water with an amazing crew! They were knowledgeable and fun!! Couldn’t have asked for better service!
James_M, Jun 2025
The boat ride was outstanding and the captain and crew were very knowledgeable of the islands history. The blue grotto was well worth the visit. I would highly recommend it as part of the cruise.
Julio_R, Jun 2025
Andrea our captain was awesome! They took us to all of the good spots around Capri and made sure our small group had a wonderful experience. I would definitely book with them again.
Linda_E, Jun 2025
Our tour was fabulous! Our tour guides were so much fun and informative! We didn’t get into the blue grotto because the wait was 2 hours and our group decided to send that time on Capri instead.
Severine_B, May 2025
Superbe journée sur le bateau d'enzo. Nous avons ete merveilleusement bien reçus. Je conseille fortement cette expérience qui vaut vraiment le coup pour découvrir capri par la mer, le meilleur moyen de découvrir l'île.
