Our family enjoyed the boat ride and visit to Capri. Antonio and the Captain were fun and informative. We would totally recommend this experience to others. The office staff was helpful as we looked for parking. I would recommend not taking your car to the port; find public transportation there.

Yana and Francesco were amazing crew members who made this experience so much fun! This was definitely the icing on the cake for our last day in Italy. Yana and Francesco were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Yana gave us such wonderful information to help us navigate our time in Capri. Francesco was humorous and had a great playlist going as we cruised along. Drinks were always available and the sandwich given was delicious. Francesco even took multiple pictures for us to remember the experience. Swimming was so much fun and the grottos were beautiful.This tour is a must!

An amazing Capri boat adventure

Katt_R, Apr 2026

This was the experience of a lifetime. Our skipper and tour guide were so hospitable. They shared so much knowledge and made sure we felt really safe and explained everything to us very clearly. We had such a great time! Thank you Antonio!!! Definitely bring plenty of Euros for any additional expenses, sunscreen & a towel!

Boat Trip to Capri!!

Abby_M, Mar 2026

We had a lovely experience!! Our tour guide Luca took us out on the boat and spoke great English. Our boat only had 10 people so it was perfect. On the way there he made sure to explain to us every areas and picture spot we stopped at. He even offered to take some for us. Once we got to the island he handed out our sandwiches which were very good and needed by the time we arrived. I definitely recommend bringing drinks and snack if you get hungry quick. On the island not much was open in Capri because we went during March which was the off season. We did however go to Anacapri which was beautiful. We took the chair lift up to the top and the views were great. The we enjoyed a glass of wine at this restaurant. On the way back we did some shopping and enjoyed some yummy gelato. Finally on our way back, Luca picked us up and provided us some drinks and took us to the Sorrento port to be dropped off. We all enjoyed a Limoncello shot and then said our goodbyes. Overall a very great trip and worth every penny!!

Horrible experience and do not recommend

Keisha_G, Oct 2025

Horrible experience nobody showed up. They were texting me on the wrong number. I was not able to go on the tour. They took my money $160. I waited for 15 minutes. Nobody came. The application was down. The app was down so I couldn’t see any messages. I tried to contact them. I couldn’t contact them and when I finally was able to contact them and see the messages through the app because the system was down, I asked him to give me my money back because I was not able to go on this tour and they told me no it’s not their responsibility so they just took my money and didn’t take me on a tour. I would definitely not recommend going on a toy with this company because if for any reason you get lost or anything or are you trying to message them about a situation, they will take your money. You will not get it back, even if you don’t go on their tour.

Weather dampened day, but crew was great.

JESSICA_H, Oct 2025

Our boat crew did their best to make the best of a rainy day. No complaints other than the weather. Local company name was You Know Boats

Don’t miss this tour!

Gina_B, Oct 2025

Definitely recommend!

Jessica_S, Oct 2025

Anna and Luca provided an amazing experience!!! We got a beautiful tour of the Mediterranean and we LOVED Capri!!! Anna and Luca were great hosts and provided an awesome lunch as well.

Great time in Capri.

Nicholas_P, Oct 2025

Overall what I expected. Very good service. The guide gave us a great experience and great tips for our time on the island.

A perfect day!!

Maria_T, Oct 2025

This was the most incredible experience of our trip to Italy! It is hard to describe the amazing day we experienced with an extremely experienced captain Nino and his first mate Rosella. They took us and about 10 other people all around the island of Capri and got that boat so close into grottoes and caves like a thread through a needle! Two people went swimming but the water was too rough for me. We also stopped in a quiet cove with a waterfall and one person sat on the front of the boat and the captain maneuvered him right under a waterfall! We spent 4 hours on the island which was enough to do my bucket list item taking the chairlift to top of Anicapri. Not to be missed! Captain Nino sang to us and Rosella told us about her family but let me tell you those 2 as fun as they were they were serious about keeping us safe in water that could be rough at times. I was a little nervous about that part but so glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to have this beautiful experience. We did not go into blue grotto although we did swing by to see people going through that hole in small boats. The wait was 2 hours and I am happy we did not waste any time doing that. The sweetest part of the day was when Rosella spotted her Mom and Nona and children on the shore of a small port and we all waved hello to them! Plenty of drinks offered including prosecco and beer and wine. Snacks like chips and we each got a Caprese sandwich to take ashore with us. We could not have asked for a more perfect day!!

Day trip to Capri.

William_K, Sep 2025

It's a small group tour, therefore a small boat. The water between Sorrento and Capri is generally not smooth. Having said that, I'm slightly susceptible to feeding the fish on this type of trip. No worries this time, some ginger pills with breakfast and all good. It fit our timeline for seeing the highlights, but I would suggest an earlier morning ferry ride over, smoother and less costly, and spend time at your leisure exploring. Our guide Francisco was highly enthusiastic, very engaging and knowledgeable, giving us a multitude of tidbits along the way. Open bar is always a plus. A wonderful daytrip, highly recommend it.

Not going to let a little bit of rain ruin my trip!

Randi_S, Aug 2025

What an adventure. The only day it rained on my whole trip and boy, was it a storm. The guides offered to change my tour date but I didn’t have any wiggle room in my itinerary. I was leaving the next day. With 8 other braves souls and the crew, we left the harbor. Thank goodness no one got sea sick and by the time we reached Capri, the skies had parted and it was a magical afternoon. The sandwiches provided were quite tasty and we had plenty of time on the island (I mean, I’ll definitely have to go back, but it was perfect for what is was). I rode the bus up to Anacapri (highly recommend this option) then took the bus to Capri then hiked down to the marina. It was magical. We even got to swim on our way back. Although it didn’t start off perfect, it was an exceptional experience that I will never forget.

Capitano the singer 😉😊

Dejan_P, Aug 2025

Perfect capitano, the singer 😊 Great tour, very good english, nice views, good music, enough time, swiming...

Excellent tour to Capri!

Angel_M, Aug 2025

This tour was very well done. We had a fantastic day and enjoyed the boat trip to Capri and around the island to swim and take in the sights. Francisco was an amazing skipper who catered to everyone’s needs. He wanted to above and beyond when I forgot my phone on the island, coordinating to locate it and have another skipper bring it back. Absolutely a life saver. We highly recommend this tour!

The boat was lovely...

Barry_O, Aug 2025

The boat was lovely The tour itself was great Timings & organisation very good. Our guide kindly waited for some late comers but he was a bit mean with the drinks. We had to ask for one & he said no which was disappointing. It’s not a booze cruise haha! I wouldn’t recommend for people who want a knees up or ‘to get their monies worth’ & there was no limoncello.

Be aware

Andries_P, Jul 2025

You get charged an extra 10 Euros when you report to Sorento port. This was not communicated to us when we booked and paid.

Wonderful Time!

Mathew_Q, Jul 2025

Wonderful time and experience. The Captain was great and entertaining. His assistant spoke English and was great. The lunch and beverages were perfect. Best excursion we had on our family adventure.

Staff was fabulous and...

Kelly_R, Jul 2025

Staff was fabulous and knowledgeable. They were fabulous to turn around the boat to make sure everybody got a fair chance for a nice picture

Accommodating and amazing!

Monica_J, Jul 2025

Amazing trip!! So accommodating when we missed our bus, they offered to pick us up from the Meta train station and we still made it on time! So grateful for their hospitality.

Book the Boat!!

Lissa_O, Jul 2025

This was a great full day!! We made a stop to swim on the way to Capri and a stop on the way back from Capri. Not everyone swam and that was ok. The snacks and drinks were great! We were given sandwiches in a bag as we got off on Capri, which we all thought was great!! It allowed us to eat on our way up to the top of Capri. We boarded the blue bus line (extra charge for this) to quickly get to top of Capri and to other destinations within Capri. Our boat guide lead us to meet the blue bus line to help us find it. It was around 20 euro a person I believe. Hop on hop off style. We visited the Gardens of Augustus on our own (when you are dropped in Capri, you explore for about 4 hours on your own, so have a plan). The Gardens of Augustus are Absolutely beautiful. It’s a ten minute walk once you get to Ana Capri, but worth it!! Beautiful views of the rocks in the ocean!! Our guide Rosella was the BEST part of the experience. She was so fun on the boat and so sweet. She pointed out all kinds of history and legends and she taught us how to “toast” with our drinks like her grandma used to!! I felt this trip was worth it for my group of 5. We are ages 20-46. We were so glad to arrive in Capri in style rather than cramped in the public transport vessels. (Also, those lines were deep waiting for public vessels to get them off the island). We hopped on our boat, with no wait, and were on our way!! It was a great day!!!

Awesome Boat Experience

Dawn_L, Jul 2025

Amazing and Exceptional

Lisandra_R, Jun 2025

Beutifull Experience, the water was very clear and the Capri is a beutifull place to visit and walk around.

Loved it!

Kimberly_L, Jun 2025

Fantastic trip! Marco and Giovanni were the best, they gave my daughter a certificate for her first boating trip!

Wonderful trip to Sorrento

Allan_B, Jun 2025

The captain and staff very attentive. First class experience. They told us about each step in advance

The best day!

Tami_H, May 2025

Great experience! Beautiful day and both captain and guide were exceptional! They treated us very well and were extremely knowledgeable!

Amazing experience!

Katrina_K, May 2025

Such an amazing experience! They make it easy by picking you up by bus in a good location in sorrento so you do not need to make the drive to the port by yourself. They had great sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. The skippers took us to BEAUTIFUL sights and were intentional about getting good photos of us. Totally worth it and this was by far the best part of my trip. Shoutout to Ross and the exceptional man who drove the boat. They were great!

Not the best experience for the money you're paying

Lauren_P, Oct 2024

I booked this for my friends and I for my friend's birthday- although the weather started out nice for the day it did not stay that way and due to the impending storm the water was choppy from 5 minutes into our day. It took quite a while to get the day started with us meeting at a point for 9:45am and not getting out onto the water until 11:30am or so. I think I would book something private in the future just to get a more intimate experience. We only had the captain of the boat who was busy steering that he couldn't explain in detail the sights we were seeing or have enough time to serve the drinks we paid for. I do wish that because of the weather they decided to move the tour to Thursday or another day where the water was much more calm. We weren't really given the option to swim despite that being a main selling point. My friends and I made the best of the situation because how often are you on the Amalfi Coast, but I certainly wish this day went differently.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Lauren, Thank you so much for your feedback, we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and constructive criticism. We decided not to postpone the tour as the weather forecast indicated safe and pleasant conditions for a day at sea. However, we understand that the sea conditions became unexpectedly rougher during the trip, which impacted the experience. Our priority is always the safety of our passengers, and we're sorry if this affected the overall enjoyment of your day or limited the captain's ability to provide the full experience. We're glad to hear that, despite the challenges, you and your friends were still able to enjoy your time on the Amalfi Coast. Thank you again for choosing us for such a special occasion, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back under calmer skies.

We did not get to go...

David_A, Oct 2024

We did not get to go swimming or Snorkling as was promised. Everyone on board brought swim suits and towels. In hind sight the ferry is a better way to go.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Please know that we’re taking your comments to heart, and we will be investigating what happened that day to ensure this does not occur again in the future. We’re committed to continually improving our tours so that our guests have the experience they expect. We hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back in the future to offer the day you were hoping for. Warm regards and best wishes!

Capri fun

John_B, Sep 2024

The boat ride to and around Capri was informative. Lucca and Giani were great guides. Nice small group tour.

Disappointment on Capri

John_R, Sep 2024

The boat trip and crew were very good. The organization and transferring us before we got to boat was horrible. No one said anything to us it introduced them selves. If we didn’t see them walking in one direction we would not have known where to go. Not one word from anyone.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear John_R, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the boat trip and crew, but we’re truly sorry for the lack of communication during the initial organization and transfer. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how important clear guidance is, especially at the start of a tour. We will make sure to address this with our team to ensure better communication and organization for our future guests. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother, fully enjoyable experience. Best wishes!

Best day ever!!

Stephanie_D, Aug 2024

We had the most amazing time on the cruise to Capri island. Our tour operator, Antonio and skipper were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. It was my daughter’s 16th Birthday and they made her feel so special. Really really brilliant experience, would highly recommend this tour.
