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!

Mario was a great host! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a perfect day on the boat. Would highly recommend Mario.
Only visiting Capri for a day and where we were staying we had to catch a ferry back by 5:45pm. So, looking around we saw the best way to see Capri in a short amount of time was a boat tour and boy did we pick the right one. Our 3 hour private boat tour with Captain Mario was hands down the best decision we made on our entire Italian vacation. From the moment we set off, we were surrounded by breathtaking views—towering cliffs, shimmering turquoise water, and hidden coves that felt like something out of a dream. One of the absolute highlights was swimming straight through the Green Grotto—diving into crystal-clear water and emerging inside a glowing natural cathedral carved by the sea. It was surreal and unforgettable. We opted out of seeing the Blue Grotto because it would’ve cut out too much time from the 3 hours we had. Since doing that, it gave us time for multiple swim stops. Mario made it more memorable by taking photos of us when we were in the water and on the boat.
Captain Mario was an exceptional guide, skipper and also has a fantastic singing voice! His deep knowledge of the island’s history and stories brought every cliff, cave, and landmark to life, turning the journey into something far richer than just a boat ride. To top it all off, we enjoyed chilled prosecco and limoncello on deck as the sun sparkled over the waves.
We still talk about this experience constantly—it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. If you’re thinking about booking a private boat tour in Capri, don’t hesitate. It’s unforgettable!
Excellent gianaro was very experienced and showed us a great time, knows All the spots and people !!

Thank you so much for the kind words
The only Capri boat tour you need! Mario was our guide and I cannot recommend him enough. Since it was private we were able to spend as much time as we wanted in each stop and Mario made sure we made it back in time for our ferry. He took us around the whole island and showed us the most iconic spots on Capri. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the kind words. Mario, besides being an excellent captain, works with passion (not everyone has this quality).
Mario was an excellent captain. He answered all our many questions on the tour.We stopped to visit the Blue Grotto and many other little grottos around the island plus a swim stop.
Mario was an excellent guide and made our trip unforgettable! The boat was clean and comfortable and exactly as advertised. He made sure to capture photos of us during swimming stops and anytime we asked. Highly recommend!
A must do on the island of Capri! It was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Mario, was very knowledgeable and attentive.
This was probably our most favorite day of our trip to Italy! Mario was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, funny, and an absolute pleasure to have as our captain and guide. We loved every minute of our private boat ride around Capri and our entire family had smiles from ear to ear from start to finish. Thank you Mario!!!

Thank you, I'm glad you appreciated Mario's work. He does it with passion, he puts his heart into it. We look forward to seeing you on the next tour. Please share us with your friends.
This tour was wonderful! I traveled with my husband, my mom and our two kids. Our captain was great and took us on a beautiful tour around the island. He took pictures for us and gave us time to swim. The boat is more rocky than anything I’ve ever experienced so if you get seasick, bring your Dramamine.
Mario was great! We had a great experience and he was very knowledgeable and shared many great stories and facts about Capri.
Amazing experience to see the whole of Capri from the sea. Mario was sensational. Funny informative and oh what a voice. Very attentive. Highly recommend
We booked the sunset tour last minute and had a fantastic time! Marco was very friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Thanks you for your Word. Mario is professional, we're glad you enjoyed the tour. We look forward to seeing more customers, and we'll miss you.
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.
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....
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!!!

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!!!!!
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
Easy to find after getting off the ferry. Great boat and excellent guide! Would highly recommend Mario and his company!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!

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. 😘
