Emilia and Antonio made this an experience of a lifetime. Our family is so grateful to have had them as our skipper and host. They are the sweetest people and are incredible at what they do.
The logistics- about 24 hours before the excursion the company sent an email and WhatsApp message including dock number, boat name, meeting time and a picture of the boat. The team confirmed via WhatsApp the morning of and made for a smooth transition on the boat.
Experience- Once on the boat, we were able to connect to the bluetooth speaker. The tour first took us to the Blue Grotto stop, where our boat opted not to wait in line. This was definitely the better decision. We stopped to swim/ have lunch before continuing on our tour around Capri. The crew stoped at several grottos and made sure to point out several sites along the way. We eventually stopped for another swim with more snacks. Once we were finished, we headed back to our dock. We disembarked and said goodbye to our new friends. A truly incredible day and spent in perfect company.
Lunch- this consisted of sandwiches and savory pastries. Both were absolutely delicious! This was accompanied by prosecco, water, cokes, beer, etc. Our party was very happy with the food onboard- there were also several vegetarian options.
Some other things- the boat is amazing. The entire experience felt very premium and the crew’s service was impeccable. No shoes are worn on the boat- they will collect them when you arrive and give them back to you when you disembark. There is a decent bit of shade onboard and several areas to get out of the sun if needed. That being said- it is not possible to everyone to be in the shade at the same time. Bring sunblock! Towels, goggles, and pool noodles are also provided.
This tour was 10/10. Don’t wait to book!

This was a very good tour! My wife and I came for our honeymoon and did this on our second day. Beers/prosecco was provided along with snacks, and our guide was fun and knowledgeable about the area. We unfortunately missed the blue grotto due to the wait time being too long, but it honestly didn’t hurt our experience one bit. I’d recommend this to anyone making their way to Capri. We even got drinks with a few people we met on the boat once the tour was over!

Best blue grotto, Il Fagliore (famous Arch) & many other Capri sites by boat tour. Andrea, Captain of the Lions boat and Pasquale, the skipper, were experienced, nice & relaxed professionals who made the tour unforgettable!

Our guides were great and the swimming was fantastic. We didn't get to do the Blue Grotto as the line was 2.5 hours but we made up for it by swimming in the crystal clear blue water.

The boat tour was great with Valerio and Vincenzo. We could not visit the Blue Grotto as the wait was too long. But the rest of the stops were amazing. The food and drinks were great and appetising. We had a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

Wonderful very good boat tour. Tour guides were funny and very knowledgeable about the area and showed their passion about their culture and island.

Thanks! Here’s the final, revised version of your review with that detail added:

We had a wonderful day out on the water with this tour. The boat was comfortable, the coastline was stunning, and the crew were absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the day. They truly made the experience special, and we appreciated how well-organized and relaxed everything felt.
Unfortunately, there was one major issue that left us disappointed. The detailed itinerary we booked from specifically stated there would not be a stop in Capri — which was a key reason we chose this tour. However, once we were onboard, we were told there would be a stop in Capri and were presented with three options:
1. Pay €200 to disembark and explore Capri independently.
2. Go ashore and eat at a specific restaurant chosen by the company.
3. Stay on the small boat in the harbour for three hours while the others went ashore.
We ended up going to the restaurant, which turned out to be a frustrating experience — the food was overpriced and quite poor, and we felt pressured into a stop we hadn’t signed up for. It really took away from what had otherwise been a relaxing and enjoyable day.
At least two other guests told us they were also surprised and had booked this tour specifically because it didn’t include a Capri stop. It felt like a bait-and-switch, and that part of the experience left a sour note.
That said, everything else about the day was excellent, and the crew truly went above and beyond. If the company simply updated the itinerary to reflect the actual plan, it would save others from this kind of confusion — and this could easily be a five-star experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback — we’re truly pleased to hear that you had a wonderful day on the water, enjoyed the beauty of the coastline, and especially appreciated our crew. They’ll be delighted to know their attentiveness made your experience memorable!
That said, we’re genuinely sorry to read about your disappointment regarding the Capri stop. We’d like to clarify a few points, as we strive to be transparent in everything we do — especially when it comes to something as dazzling (and occasionally chaotic) as the Amalfi Coast.
Our itineraries always aim to strike a balance between structure and flexibility. While many of our tours include a potential stop at Capri, this is often weather- and time-dependent — and, of course, always optional for the tour you booked. For the Blue Grotto Tour, we never require guests to disembark, and we certainly don’t force anyone into a €200 lunch (though we’ve heard of worse ways to spend an afternoon than sipping wine with a sea view!), and in any case, if not clear, we're the company of the boat tour, not the restaurant 😂
That said, if there was a miscommunication about the inclusion of Capri, we sincerely apologize. We are currently reviewing the listing, but, honestly, there is no words referred to a disembarkation or a land visit, or a land free time, etc... so, very hard to predict what you could intend or a single person could intend. It’s never our intention to surprise our guests with hidden stops — unless it’s a dolphin sighting, in which case all bets are off.
We’re sorry to hear that the restaurant didn’t live up to expectations, but, as said we're the boat company, nothing to share with the restaurants.
Above all, we’re grateful that despite this issue, you still found the day excellent and our crew deserving of praise. That means a great deal to us.
We hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future — we’d love to welcome you back, for free, for a new experience !
