The boat ride was super fun! Our guide was very enthusiastic and gave us great ideas of things to do on the island. Having time to jump off the boat and swim was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it!

Mario and Antonio were great skippers and made the experience so fun! They were knowledgeable, funny, and charismatic. They walked us up to the town of Capri and helped us navigate where we wanted to go in the town. Definitely would recommend! Breath taking views and ride.

We had a fabulous day on this tour! My mom and I agree that this was one of our favorite experiences on our two week adventure around Italy.
We stayed in Positano so were met by a driver who drove us to the departure point on the Sorrento coast... this was seamless and we did not mind the drive at all (actually enjoyed seeing the scenery and towns). We were lucky to have Francisco and Luciano as our tour guides for the day... they were extremely hospitable, informative, and entertaining! If possible, I would request them!
The itinerary is exactly as described in the listing. We visited a few spots along the way to the island of Capri, then docked in Capri and had a few hours off of the boat to explore (perfect amount of time to eat and shop around!) before heading back to the embarkment point and seeing a couple more spots along the way (including a swim stop). The others in our small group were very friendly and we enjoyed getting to know everyone!
Please take may recommendation... you won't regret it!

This was a great excursion. It was a trek to just get on the boat, I wish they communicated that better. They pick you up in a bus, then drive you an hour to Sorrento, then you take a lift to the boat, pay and sign in, then get on the boat. I’d rather just get straight on the boat if possible. It’d be best if you stayed in Sorrento and just met at the pier. The tour guide was great though, they gave us Prosecco sandwiches and chips on board and it was really nice. You definitely felt taken care of
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Dear Marisa_S, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind words. It is a pleasure to know that your experience with us was excellent.
It is not possible to go straight to the boat because there is first the check in procedure.
Thank you for choosing our tour!

This trip was amazing with Rosa being the best tour guide. She was so full of energy and made sure everyone had a great time!
The boat was great and ample drinks/food was provided. We spent 5 hours in Capri which was probably a little too long but overall the trip is highly recommended.

The entire day was perfect. The bus to the boat was an air conditioned van that went along a scenic route, the boat captains and guide were fantastic. The boat was beautiful and only had 4 couples total on it. The tour started with going around the island, swimming and stopping in several little caves. The tour included unlimited drinks, a few snacks and a sandwich, dessert and limoncello. Once on the island the guide took us to a reccomended bus stop that took us to Anacapri and told us what time to get back on the bus to make it in time. In anacapri we went on a chair lift to the top of the island which was gorgeous. I reccomend doing some research on where to go in Anacapri, since we ended up going downhill for an hour and never finding a beach, followed by 1.5 hours back uphill. But the guides do give you a little booklet with location information which we forgot to use. Overall the boat tour was the best part of the experience, with the island just being more of a pit stop.

We went on July 27th (aqua wristband) and had a wonderful time. The hosts were knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. The tour is very value driven for what you get for such a good price. The only downside, is that there was at least a 45 min drive to Sorrento to get to the boat, which we were unaware of. Besides that, we highly recommend!
Grazie!!

Awesome staff. Gorgeous views. Yummy drinks. Chips are only good snack but you can eat on the island. Note if you are traveling as a group book as one group. I got out on a separate boat from my friends which wasn’t what I planned/couldn’t be changed unfortunately. Ocean can be rough, plan accordingly if you are prone to sea sickness.

My mom and I traveled to Positano and we wanted to do a small group boat tour from Positano and could not have asked for a better day. Salvatore and Giuseppe were absolutely amazing. Both spoke very good English and they were great about telling us about all of the history as we got closer to Capri. They told us how to get around on Capri and what to do and what not to do. Our driver picked up from Positano right on time and then drove us back to Positano after we were done. No issues what so ever. They gave us Prosecco and beer and snacks when we stopped for swimming and offered to take pictures as well. 10000% percent worth the money. So happy we chose to do that instead of taking the ferry. We actually enjoyed the boat ride way more than we enjoyed Capri.

Staying along the Amalfi coast, a boat trip to Capri is a fantastic way to spend a day. The staff were super friendly and arranged transportation to and from the port as well. They also provided some great insights as we sailed around and some entertainment too. Would recommend!

I booked this trip initially believing that the boat tour leaves from Positano….it does not. The boat actually leaves an hour away from Positano. My group had expected that the boat would leave from the only place boats can leave from in Positano so that’s where we arrived at the given time.
After messaging the guide we were made aware that in some fine print that it’s an hour long van ride to a different town. Nonetheless they did not wait for us and we never received a refund or a rebooking.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Dear Luke,
We are sorry to read your words.
In the tour description on Viator it is stated "Departure by land from a meeting point in Positano towards departure's port (1 hours drive)".
Furthermore, once we receive the reservation, we send a message through Viator and on Whatsapp to reconfirm pick up time and place, with the complete address of the pick up place and the google maps link.
Unfortunately the driver can't wait long, because he has to respect all the other customers on board, that reach the meeting point in time.
Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards
Fabiana

My wife and I did this tour on our honeymoon to the Amalfi Coast and it was great! Our skipper was Rafael and he was just so fun and knowledgeable about the island of Capri. We enjoyed touring around the island, swimming in the water, and several hours on the island. If you go, be sure to bring a good bit of cash because it will make your life easier with some of the things they offer you to do on the island. Overall, we had a wonderful time!
P.S. on the island, you should DEFINITELY do the skylift! It's REALLY cool!

Just a lovely day top to bottom. The captain and first mate were so fun and showed us everything from coves and caves to waterfalls, and led us right to the bus to Anacapri once we were on the island, which is a lovely time.
Prepare for a full day of fun and sun, and don't forget a towel!

Overall, our group had an amazing experience. The island is gorgeous and we enjoyed the guided boat trip around the island. The captain was great and the guide, Raphael was top notch - great personality !
My only complaint is the description of the trip seems to be intentionally misleading. The description says the trip starts and in Positano, which is true. However, there is no mention that there is a 50 min drive each way from/to Positano to/from a marina near Sorrento in a van with little to no air conditioning. Had we known that the boat didn’t leave from Positano we would have booked another tour.
My advice before booking is to find out where your tour boat departs from.

Dear Robert_G, we would sincerely thank you for choosing our tour to Capri Island. It’s a privilege for us that you have chosen our service. I would thank you for your compliments toward our staff.

We absolutely loved this tour! Organization was very good - we got picked up in positano and dropped off at the boat dock. We did have to wait a good bit at the boat dock but wasn’t a problem. Boat not crowded at all - group size was good. The tour was great and our guide was awesome! Funny and knowledgeable and he gave plenty of time at each stop and the swimming was so fun!! They also helped us navigate a bus day pass that was 25 euro for when we were in Capri making it easy to see both Anacapri and Capri and move around the island which otherwise would have been very confusing. They also gave us a ride back and were able to drop us off right at our hotel in Positano. Definitely a highlight! Would recommend to anyone.
