We had an amazing experience on the boat with Gennaro. He was very accommodating and made sure to point out all of the important sights and answer any questions we had. Great sense of humor as well. Highly recommend booking this tour!! A huge plus - he was a great photographer!

We had a great time on our private boat seeing the beautiful isle of Capri. Mario was an excellent tour guide and boat captain.

Our private boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The scenery was breathtaking, the service was exceptional, and our captain was hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience unforgettable. We could not recommend it more highly.

This was unquestionably the highlight of our trip! Mario was a fantastic guide! He was informative, funny, a skilled mariner, and just an overall pleasure! And while it would be hard to compete with the natural beauty of Capri, he made the whole experience that much better!

My husband and I really enjoyed our boat tour with Mario. It was very relaxing, informative, and beautiful to see the island from the water. We saw many significant landmarks/spots. The time length of the tour was perfect.
Erin_T, Mar 2026
This was the best boat ride we have been on! Mario was a fantastic boat captain. He made the tour fun and relaxing, and he took excellent photos! We loved that he got the boat into tight spaces so that we could see the rock formations up close! We saw so many cool details along the coastline that we would have missed in a bigger boat.

Our boat tour with Gennaro was the highlight of our trip! Do not hesitate to book this tour! He is full of knowledge and will give you the best tour of the island, while going above and beyond to make it special. We were celebrating our honeymoon, and Gennaro made sure we not only got to see everything, but helped us document the moments on our phone to have forever. He is also an EXCEPTIONAL driver! The areas that he is able to show you due to this skill are unbelievable! Trust me, you will not regret booking this boat tour! We will definitely be back and will 100% book with them again!

Thank you so much ❤️

Mario is the best! He knows the island so well and answered every question i asked. He was so sweet and you can tell how much he loves his home. Views and comfort 10/10. Highly recommend this tour

Very nice trip. We met our captain Gennaro at the dock. Relatively easy to find the meeting point. Gennaro is a very good boat captain. Excellent nautical skills. Able to maneuver our boat within inches of the rocks or other boats. He has a great sense of humor and his knowledge of the area was appreciative. We were lucky as the boat we booked was not available so we got a much larger boat for the same price! Water and scenery is fantastic. Stopped for a swim in the beautiful waters. We had Prosecco on the boat… nice touch. We came over from Naples on the ferry and spent most of the day on the tour… about 3 hours and the rest of the time walking about the city center. Well worth a day trip to Capri if you are not already staying there.

Don't skimp on seeing Capri via boat. And Mario's boat was the BEST! Great cushions for ultimate comfort, towels so you don't have to lug yours around, ample swimming spots, music to match, and great company, and even singing! Its a family business, and you can tell with the care he provided. Even got to shower off in fresh water at the end of the trip. DON'T THINK, JUST BOOK. We would have hated to do one of those 'group' tours....
Nicole_B, Sep 2025
The boat tour surpassed all expectations. To be guided by a lifetime local who shared his love of Capri, its people, history and culture was superb. Having the opportunity to swim in waters better than you see on social media made the day perfect! Gennaro was the perfect captain!!!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your compliments. We work hard to make your time with us a joy. We look forward to seeing you on our next tour of Capri.

This was the perfect day and experience! Mario gives you a little history and let’s Capri do the rest! He had some champagne for us and music. He takes perfect photos (legit a pro). I would highly recommend his tours! Worth every penny! We just got engaged and then had the perfect boat day. Thank you Mario!!!!!
Jessica_C, Sep 2025
Mario was awesome! He made our boat day very fun and enjoyable and was amazing at taking pictures for us! We never felt rushed at any of the sights and his personality made us feel right at home
Brad_M, Sep 2025
Easy to find after getting off the ferry. Great boat and excellent guide! Would highly recommend Mario and his company!
Pamela_C, Sep 2025
Mario was the best guide! He He is born and raised in Capri and is very knowledgeable about the history and knows a lot of local stories too. He has a beautiful voice and sang to us along the way. Breathtaking and relaxing.
Timothy_F, Sep 2025
This tour is a must while in Capri. We were lucky and our boat was upgraded but that wasn’t even the highlight. Gennaro was an amazing captain. It’s hard to believe he’s been doing this for less than a year. He was funny, informative, and gave us nothing but positive vibes. He pushed for us to get quick entry to the Blue Gratto and he took some amazing photos for us while visiting the different spots around the island. 10/10 would recommend!
Kerry_V, Sep 2025
Excellent way to see Caprì with a private skipper! Marco was fabulous in taking care of us, sharing a bit of history, taking us to the best swimming spots and being our photographer! Thank you, Marco!
Nathan_P, Aug 2025
If you want something private but with all the bells and whistles, this is the experience for you. Mario, our guide, was excellent. He set the tone with perfect music choices and created a fantastic atmosphere. FYI If you order a cocktail from Bar Pentagon to take on the boat, one is a jug size. We did the south and east of the island with lots of time for swimming and viewing the grottos. Mario came prepared with noodles for swimming and took some really memorable shots. My partner, sister in law and I absolutely loved it! An unforgettable day.
Vivian_Q, Aug 2025
Captain Genaro was amazing! The boat was larger than the one we booked, so we got lucky about that. But the rest of our magical anniversary celebration was all due to the expert care and positive vibes from the Captain!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks for the kind words, but you were with me on Capri, the Amalfi Coast is something else entirely. If you can, change the title. 😘
Deborah_G, Aug 2025
The entire experience was lovely and so much fun. We were in a rush to make the ferry yet our guide was able to show us the Blue Grotto, a baby blue Grotto and a green grotto. He even sang in Italian. Boat was very comfortable and we had a great time!
Zvi_H, Aug 2025
This was a fantastic ride with a captain Mario. He took us to all the interesting places including swimming at the green grotto
Kevin_T, Aug 2025
Absolutely the best part of our trip. Capri is special but Marco, our boat guy and on-board entertainment, was remarkable. Instructions to get there and everything else once on the boat was just perfect. Do your self a favor and choose this tour out of the hundred of other boats available. This is truly special.
Haylee_D, Aug 2025
A boat ride in Capri is a MUST! Mario, our captain, was amazing! He was entertaining, fun, and flexible! We had plenty of time to swim, explore caves, and learn about Capri. Unforgettable experience!
Fahd_A, Jul 2025
Gerrano made our experience very worthwhile, if you are interested in a private cruise he’s definitely someone you should book with. Had an amazing experience with his teachings, engagement and hospitality
Jessica_W, Jul 2025
Great day taking a full circle private tour of Capri! Gennaro was friendly and fun, and we got to choose when we wanted to stop and swim.
Caitlin_S, Jul 2025
Best experience with Mario he was amazing. Super knowledgable and personable. He made us all feel comfortable and we had an amazing time
Tara_D, Jul 2025
Gennaro was so great!! It was just my hubby and me, and we got a nice big boat which was awesome! He was so sweet and so hilarious and we just loved him! We had such a great time seeing Capri by boat and jumping into the beautiful water and swimming. He took my phone and was a pro with the camera (way better than I am!) and was our personal photographer. Should we (hopefully) ever go back to Capri, I will 100% book a boat tour with Gennaro again!! Also, if you’re on the fence about a private boat tour in Capri, DO IT, don’t hesitate. It’ll be worth it! Bonus with this one, you get beverages including Prosecco which is my favorite, and which I spilled my first glass of and Gennaro was so gracious about. He couldn’t have cared less! We were on a European cruise and Capri was by far my favorite spot. BOOK IT!!

Mario was so knowledgeable and passionate about the island. He showed us some great treasures of the island and made our day one of the best we had in Italy. Highly recommend.
