Amazing excursion in Naples! As soon as we met Daniel and Fabio, they made us feel like family. They were very informative about the culture and beauty of the entire Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Naples! I highly recommend this boat trip to anyone who is on the fence about it. If you want an amazing boat ride that has a family vibe to it, book the trip! We made some awesome friends in a foreign country and I couldn’t be happier. And don’t forget to tip your tour guides! They work hard and do a great job!

This was a great way to...

Whitney_R, Sep 2025

This was a great way to end out trip. The weather was great and being out on the water with the beautiful view was so relaxing. Lunch on Capri was delish. We took the funicular to Capri Town but it was so expensive up there we can back down and shopped down by the marina instead.

Honeymoon

Elisa_C, Sep 2025

Perfect Capri Day with Marco & Fabio!

Amazing day in Capri! Thanks to our guide Marco and skipper Fabio for their great organisation, energy, humour, and excellent recommendations. They made the whole experience smooth and unforgettable - highly recommend

Boat Excursion to Capri, Swimming and Shopping Too

Todd_K, Sep 2025

This was one of the best Viator excursions we've had. Our guide was Ariana, and she was outstanding! She had so much energy and enthusiasm. She truly loves what she does, and it definitely shows. Our meeting spot was a little confusing because my booking didn't allow me to specify that we were on a cruise ship. The address was confusing and our Uber in Naples spoke zero English. Fortunately, Ariana called at the perfect time and was able to talk the driver to our meeting place, and she waited the extra 12 minutes past our meeting time. The other guests were great, and we all had the best time traveling around the Capri Island swimming along the coast. We moored and got a tender to see Capri Town. Captain Fabio was also excellent and navigated into some very tight cave and grotto areas along the coast with a lot of boat traffic. He also did an excellent job navigating through some rough surf getting out to Capri from Naples. Highly recommend this excursion. I hope you get Ariana!

Over priced , you should Ferry Over

Mitchell_F, Sep 2025

We paid over $330 for two people. Basically it was private ride over to Capri on a small boat 10 people.The ride over was rough(choppy seas) we only made one stop and it was the same spot every other boat makes.you could Swim , but. Needed noodle. Then we were sent to lunch at a restaurant 11:45 am and after they said meet back 3:15 . We all were from Celebrity Equinox, ( meeting pick up was not smooth or clear,driver sat in Van ,no English) The ride back was nice , the sea’s calm and weather was Gorgeous. The Guide Alexandra and the caption were nice and did what they were supposed to. Basically you can take a ferry for $50 round trip and find your restaurant of choice ,many to choose. We did have fun with passengers from the ship. However it was a long day and We did not see the value of the excursion. Just our opinion. The Island of Capri was beautiful and definitely worth the visit.

We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope to provide you with an even smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future.

The best tour de Capri

Asif_Z, Aug 2025

Had an amazing experience during this tour. More than my expectations. Our tour guide Alessandra was great, she took pictures of each one of the people on board at every viewpoint. She's very knowledgeable and super chill. The Captain Arcangelo cool as ice and allowed me to take a photo behind the wheel of the boat. Highly recommend them. The captain stopped the boat near the coast where the water was clear and blue. We swam for at least an hour. One of the best experiences I've had. Thank you world tours!

Family fun day on a boat to Capri

Kristina_C, Aug 2025

We had a beautiful day on the sea out to Capri with Captain Fabio and second mate Alexandria. The meetup was easy, the boat was comfortable and Alexandria served us drinks and snacks. We saw some caves and swam in the sea. Alexandria recommended a delicious restaurant at the marina and we had about 2 hours after lunch to explore Capri on our own. While we took the Funicular up and down, you may want to save yourself some time by walking down to taking a taxi down instead. All in all, a very memorable and fun day.

World Class Experience with World Tours <3

Isabella_M, Jul 2025

This was an amazing and unforgettable experience! Our captain (Gianni) and tour guide (Daniel) were fantastic. They really made the experience just THAT much better. They also gave us great recommendations on where to eat in Capri (Lo Smeraldo Restaurant & Beach Club which was wonderful and very reasonable for Capri) and their communication while we were on the island was next level. I would HIGHLY recommend doing any of your trips in the south of Italy (Napoli & the Amalfi coast) with World Tours as they were also very communicative with me on social media.

Best way to experience Capri!

Jeanne_S, Jul 2025

Magical day on the water! We were picked up at our cruise terminal entrance, and whisked off to the marina where we picked up our smaller boat. Alexandra and Arcangelo were so welcoming! Seas were choppy, so not for someone with seasickness issues…. We swam in a quieter cove…. Water was so clean and clear… and off to lunch at a lovely waterfront restaurant. Due to high wind warnings, we unfortunately had to take a 2pm ferry( not our smaller boat) back to Naples. Sadly, we never made it up the funicular to see the actual town. Guess we have to come back soon!

8 person private boat ride Naples to Capri

Andrea_M, Jul 2025

Great boat, clean, modern, nice staff. Didn’t do blue grotto as they said 3 hour wait. Very nice swimming spot we stopped at and lunch. Time to explore Capri too. Txx

Left behind…

Olivia_P, Jul 2025

Tour left without us prior to designated start time. Received call from operator at 8:50am stating that the rest of the group was waiting for us despite start time of 9am. We advised that we would be there in 10 minutes, but resulted in being put on hold while hearing yelling in the background prior to being told the tour left without us at 8:57am as per phone conversation records. At first spoke to a lady, later was put on the line with a gentleman. He stated that we would need to take it up with the “third party” for a refund…

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear customer, as per the conversation on the Viator dashboard, your pick-up was confirmed for 8:30, and you also sent us a message thanking us for the information. We are sorry that you missed the tour, but all the information was provided correctly. Unfortunately, we considered you a 'No Show,' as the group waited for almost 30 minutes. From our side, no refund is due

Well worth it!

Oscar_B, Apr 2025

Amazing experience! Lovely tour around Capri with a few stops too take in the views. Alessandra was a brilliant guide and was really helpful with giving us information on places too check out and taking pictures of ys. Arcangelo was a great skipper with a stunning boat. The best way to get too Capri without all the crowds!

Great day trip!

Andrew_P, Oct 2024

Beautiful day on the water! It was great getting to see the island from the water with plenty of time to wander around on land. We had a nice lunch on the island overlooking the water. Book it!

Cancelled

Laura_R, Sep 2024

Sorry, but the tour was cancelled. It was a blow to our plans but I appreciated the concern for overall safety.

Dear customer, unfortunately for the safety of all our customers the tour has been cancelled. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you again on another of our tours to demonstrate our way of working. Greetings Sara

Perfect Capri Excursion

Erik_N, Sep 2024

We had a great time on our Capri excursion! Being August, there were very large crowds. Having a small group tour was the perfect way to avoid the craziness of the larger ships visiting the island. The cruise around the island was amazing, with stops for pictures, and also a one hour stop for a much needed swim before heading onto the island. We had a little over two hours to explore the island, but with all the crowds, we were a little limited on visiting. We had a nice lunch, and a couple of refreshing beverages! Our guide Guisi was super friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks again!!

Great experience

Daniela_M, Aug 2024

My daughter and I had the best time on our excursion to Capri. Swimming in a clear blue sea was the best part of an extremely hot day. Our guide Nunzia and the boat captain were excellent.

Great Day Trip to Capri

Victoria_F, Jul 2024

Great day trip to Capri! Staff was nice, helpful and thoughful. Great boat driver, getting us up close to the bays and rocks, and navigating through boat traffic. Guide was extra helpful in navigating Capri harbour town to help us make the most of our time there. Also helpful in explaining local superstitions/luck symbols. Capri itself was too crowded but the boat ride around it and swim were fantastic! Had enough time to see parts of the island and shop/eat gelato. Boat was also comfortable...nice seating upfront and behind, good storage below deck with a bathroom. A bit more expensive than a tour group that meets & takes the ferry together, but very worth the extra $$ for the private boat. Would highly recommend this day tour!

Stunning day!

Emily_H, Jun 2024

What a great day!! Daniel and Fabio were our awesome host and driver for the day. The boat takes you all around the island where we were shown the beautiful sights of capri and were entertained by Daniel’s jokes. The swimming area was stunning and I would want to go back there any time! There was plenty of free time on the island where Daniel recommended some activities for us to do. Definitely recommend this tour to everyone!!

Wonderful trip to capri with family.

jeff_s, Jun 2024

Wonderful trip with family. Intimate experience. Ample time to swim and explore the island if capri. Our captain Arcangelo and guide Andreja were wonderful. Can't recommend enough.

Fun times with a small group

Lhieren_F, Oct 2023

Nuncia was a great tour guide , friendly and fun with all passengers, she made the trip very pleasant and fun. The boat was beautiful and we got great pictures of all the amazing views

Guardian Angels guide your whole luxury trip

Autumn_M, Sep 2023

Without a doubt, this is the best trip to Capri Option!!! Gabriel and Archoangelo definitely live up to their names and are your guardian angels your entire trip. I went as a solo traveler, and even got lost. Gabriel was able to find me and made sure I felt included and had the time of my life. Celebrity treatment from start to finish. You get to avoid all the crowds and lines and see all the best that Capri has to offer. The timing of the trip is perfect to fit in everything. Swimming in the gulf is just surreal. Plus, they provide refreshments on board and Gabriel will be your professional photographer. The boat is beautiful and just adds to the atmosphere of seeing Capri. By far one of my best decisions on my trip to Italy!!

Capri from the Sea!

Isis_M, Jul 2023

A lovely day on the water. A great way to see Capri touring around the entire island from the Sea. It was very crowded on the island and not very enjoyable, high season. But the boat and Sandra were fantastic and we have a good swim and cultural lesson about Capri! I highly recommend it.

A Day To Remember

LaurenBurton, Jul 2023

Amazing tour around Capri! Loved that it was a small boat with a small group and we weren’t on a ferry with a zillion people. They took us to all the best photo ops around the island and stopped at a beautiful cove for swimming! We got free time on Capri and Antonio was a delight. It felt like a private tour- would totally book again.

All was very nice.

HERVELTER_D, Jul 2023

Memorable experience. Al very nice. Memorable experience. All very nice. Memorable experience. All very nice.

Harshita_B, Apr 2019

Mimo and Rossella were absolutely fantastic. They were of great help and very kind! We really loved our ride and their hospitality. Even before we got down Rossella exaplined everything about Capri and it was a wonderful experience. I would love to see them the next time I am back to Capri.

Gita in barca a Capri inseguiti dai delfini

Elisa_F, Jul 2024

Bellissima attività, i ragazzi dell'equipaggio molto gentili e attenti senza essere mai invadenti. L'esperienza in barca è davvero affascinante. Abbiamo anche visto dei delfini saltare accanto alla nostra barca. Suggerirei solo di aggiungere una tappa per nuotare anche al ritorno.
