Tony was our guide and he was great. Took pictures, moved at the same speed we wanted to go. Capri was amazing as well and this excursion was by far the greatest part of our trip. Everyone should book this, you will not regret. Worth every penny!

We really wanted a small group boat tour and did not want to see the Blue Grotto (or wait for long periods of time to see it) and this tour filled both needs. There were 10 people on the boat. We thought we would swim and see the island first then change into dry clothes to see Capri but we were dropped off on Capri first - which was so much better. Our boats guides advised us to go up to AnaCapri first and then come back down to Capri. They explained about how the transportation worked on the island. All great information! We went to Anacapri first and did the chair lift to the top. It was a great experience, and the views are amazing on the ride up and at the top! When we came down, the line was twice as long as when we started so we were grateful for the advice to go there earlier. The chair lift line does move fairly quickly. We had five hours in Capri/Anacapri.
Then back on the boat to swim and tour around the island. It was so beautiful. The Faraglioni rocks were a highlight for me personally. The crew took pictures of everyone with the rocks in the background. We had prosecco and a limoncello shot along the way around the island. For my friends and I, it was our final tour on our Italian vacation, and I can't think of a better way to do it!!
The boat trip was amazing over the Capri. We stopped and swam. Then we proceeded to Capri and Anacapri. The guides/Captain were phenomenal. Roberto and Luciano. They had drinks and snacks available for the duration. Great music.
We LOVED our boat trip to Capri. The captain Tony and his assistant Theo were wonderful. Highly recommend this!
Good tour, not ideal for us due to the heat and the swim is before your tour of capri, and there’s no where to change or freshen up after the swim. Would be better if you toured the island earlier in the day and then swam on the way back to Sorrento. We did not depart until after 11. Nonetheless, the views were amazing and the staff was great.
The service unfortunately wasn't what was expected. Upon arrival and registration the reps at registration provided a poor service all very rude and organization was poorly managed. We definitely didn't feel welcomed.
Regarding the ride to and from the team needs a microphone or some new form of communication. It was very difficult to hear with the surroundings.
Super lovely boat tour and swim time. They gave us yummy snacks and drinks.
They were super friendly and informative!
Roberto and Tony were great guides and were extremely helpful with recommendations and assistance for Capri.
We really enjoyed this boat trip and would happily recommend it. One of the biggest advantages was that they collected us directly from our hotel and dropped us back afterwards. It was one of the few operators offering this service, and it made the whole day much more relaxing.
The boat itself was lovely, comfortable and well maintained. Soft drinks, beer and Prosecco were included, which was a nice touch, although they weren't proactively offered – you had to ask, which meant some people probably didn't realise they were available.
The cruise around Capri was excellent, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out lots of interesting sights along the coastline. The Blue Grotto had extremely long queues on the day we visited, so we decided not to go in, which was the right decision for us.
The only slight downside was at the end of our free time on Capri. We weren't aware that we needed to make our own way by taxi boat back to where our boat was moored, so there was a bit of confusion and a wait in the hot sun before we worked it out. A clearer explanation beforehand would have avoided this.
Overall, though, it was a fantastic day out with great service and excellent value. A little more communication and more proactive drinks service would easily make this a perfect experience.
Rafael and Aldo were amazing guides alone the coast. They made it a very fun yet relaxing boat ride and were knowledgeable about the area. You can tell they have the tour down to a science because everything went so smoothly.
Excellent day, Guiseppe (1&2) made it, they really looked after us & made the tour. Small boat max 12 people was great, tour around Capri, pick-ups & overall experience great.
It was terrific!! Rosa our guide and Lucianno our captain were friendly and knowledgeable and made every effort to make sure we were satisfied! The boat was nice and clean and we felt safe!! The description of our tour fit perfectly.
Be careful when booking with Viator. There is a 4 hour and an 8 hour option. When you check availability, make sure it is the option you want. Also the row boats at the blue grotto are not owned by the comapny. They try to suggest exorbitant tps, 10% is fine. 2 Euros per person. Trip was great, loved swimming off the boat and viewing the Island. Guide was great.
Great Day trip with our family of 6 adults. Luciano and Hugo were accommodating for everyone on the boat !
The capri boat tour was a perfect day to start our time in Sorrento. Relaxing, fun & informative tour guides. Guiseppe &Guisepoe were so great-told us all the history & fun facts in the way over.
Good evening Fabiana
Were 7:15 at the meeting point
Nobody of the boat company was there we started to app and phone to
the contact number of them no answer
We asked the other boat company if they know the boat company
No one know them.
Then at 08:00 we decided to take the ferry to Capri.
After we on the ferry we where contacted by the boat company
08:05 with the question where we where so i explain that we where on the ferry .
So we have a very disaponeted bad service no answer on app or Phone.
So i think i paid and lost 720 euro and made a extra cost for the ferry of 172 euro.
So i do not know if there is a refund possible if not we will share our mis experience on the social media maybe
Viator and the boatcompany do not care.
But at last we can express our miss feeling of the boat trip.
I understand that the boat company is just started but that may not be excus of bad or miscommunation.
I am waiting for a respons from you
to this.

Pepe and Johnny are an amazing duo and guides! They are knowledgable about the area and kept the fun going while on the boat.
Johnny and Tony were the best crew to have had on this experience! Both put fun, thought, and professionalism into our day from beginning to end. Would recommend this to anyone coming to Sorrento!
Tony and Tony provided a great tour. They were entertaining, informative and really made us feel special. Had a great time. Highly recommend.
We missed a couple of the spots that were listed on the itinerary, but overall good tour.
Side note: we chose this tour because it was the only tour I found that would give us a lot of time on Capri. Personally, if I were to do this again, I would take the ferry to Capri. 3-4 hours was not enough time to explore the island (personal suggestions. I am not knocking this tour).
A magical day boating to Capri! Expertly navigated by the charming Pepe and Tony, they went out of their way to make the day fun. Stopping to swim was a highlight and we also took their recommendations for transportation and our time on the island. A highlight of our Sorrento stay for sure ◡̈
Guido was a fantastic tour guide!
He was very reapinsive and informative. Salvador had a challenging day, with the large swells, but handled the boat like the seasoned veteran he is.
It was a great trip! Cataldo and Giuseppe were amazing, beautiful boat and in general we had a lovely time!
Rafi was the best guide! He was so fun to talk to as very knowledgeable about the history of Capri. We had a great boat ride and such a fun time swimming! Overall great experience

Raphael and Giuseppe were fantastic tour guides and we loved being on the boat with them. If this review was only about the boat experience with them, it would be 5 stars. Unfortunately the logistics around getting to the boat (that Raphael and Giuseppe are not responsible for) were a bit chaotic. Our tour was listed as an 8 hour tour and the start time said 9am when we bought the tickets. However we were told that our pickup would happen at 10:20am. We figured that even still, this gave us plenty of time to be back at the meeting point for a 7:15 dinner reservation. But there was just too much downtime in between getting picked up and dropped off, so our evening plans got messed up.

Dear Brittany_V
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Thank you for your kind words to our onboard staff. However, I'm sorry to hear that the change in departure times has upset you. We may often make changes the day before to improve the organization of hotel pickups in the morning, precisely to avoid chaos at the port. The tour even if it leaves at 10:30 always lasts 8 hours to ensure guests don't miss anything.

BOOK THIS TOUR! Sara was our charter host and she was so wonderful. She made the trip even more special by taking the time to explain the sights, history, and lore around Capri. It was chilly in the morning so bring a jacket as the winds were very strong. Also bring cash to spend on Capri and for the island fee. It was a beautiful day on the water. This tour was a highlight of our trip!
