Bookable for private groups of up to six people, the traditional Caprese boat is skippered by a local who will steer you on a scenic route past the island’s famous grottoes and “faraglioni” rocks. Swim stops are part of the cruise.

Smoothing sailing custom trip for a large group

Michelle_D, Jun 2025

I know there are lots of options for boat rides in Capri, but this one I will recommend to everyone! Not only was it one of the few private tours that would accept 10 people, but it also was custom to what you want to do. Our captain Stefano really made this trip outstanding. He was so considerate. He asked what we wanted to see, if we wanted to swim, if we wanted drinks or music. He had some towels (but honestly buy one of the cute ones in town as a souvenir anyway) and cushions. He let you sit wherever you wanted or layout on the front of the boat. He told us about the different grottos and rock formations. But the most impressive thing about this trip was how skilled Stefano was at driving this boat. I own a boat and sail in the rough waters of the gulf a lot. I was a little concerned about all the boat traffic causing waves and making the ride rough. Stefano knew exactly how to handle the waves so that our trip was as smooth as possible. No slapping the waves, no jumping out of your seat, no sea sickness. He even got the boat close enough to touch the rock formations in the grottos and maneuver around other boats and never once came close to hitting anything, Can't say enough wonderful things about our captain and this tour!

Worth every cent

The whole thing !!! Nando our boat captain very informative and funny Made our time on the boat very pleasant

Poor customer service

HEIDI_S, Aug 2023

We were very disappointed in the service. When we arrived they appeared to not have a boat saved for us. Lots of arguing between the workers. Our tour started 20 minutes late. The ladder on the boat was broken and the captain admitted a guest the day before had broke it. So that limited our ability to swim. Which was half of the point of the trip. Our captain was constantly talking on his cell phone and the brought us back 15 minutes early. I would seriously look at using another company or just find someone day of. Also they only provided two damp towels. And the cooler only had one soda and water. It is very obvious they were not planning for our trip. Even though we booked far in advance. I feel like we should get some kind of a refund.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Heidi, we are very sad to read your review, especially because your tour took place 2 weeks ago and we were in contact with you all the time but, apart your arrival time by ferry, you didn’t tell us about your disappointments before. We could have found a solution or could have verified what really happened by checking the boat or talking to the skipper immediately….it is very hard to verify now.

Worth the waves

The beauty of the island from the sea cannot be beat. Sailing around and seeing the cliffs and grottos was amazing. The water is so clear we could see to the bottom while swimming.

Must do on Capri. Great way to see the beautiful island in the water and cool off in the ocean. Don’t hesitate, book!

Boat captain great and charming, you have control if you want to use your time to wait for Blue Grotto or your around the island and swim. Its not to be missed!
