Everything was great. Roberto the captain was fantastic and gave great information about the island. Multiple stops to swim, they’ll book a lunch for you, and super easy process. Would highly recommend, perfect for group or couple.
Only thing to be aware of are the fees on top. 300 euro fuel fee and 100 euros if you want to dock at the main port. We docked at the small port (not that small and 20 euro, 10 min taxi to town) and dined at one of the restaurants.
The only improvement I would recommend to company is having a driver pick you up from your hotel or villa. This may have been an option but I didn’t see it. For the 1,200 euro trip with tip, it would’ve been nice to have someone pick you up and drive you back, or at least drive you back to the main square. Other places where I’ve done private charters offer this and it’s a nice touch.

We loved every minute of it. Our boat’s man was the best, very friendly. He told us about the history and recent time of Capri
Karthik_K, Jul 2026
It was an incredible experience. Our captain Roberto was wonderful. He was natively accommodative of our asks. And made us want to come back. Strongly recommend!
Marina_L, Jul 2026
Our private boat tour with Sorrento Sea Tours was truly the highlight of our trip! We traveled from Miami, and out of everything we did in Italy, this was by far our favorite day.
The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Everything was incredibly well organized, and our captain Manuel made us feel comfortable, safe, and welcome throughout the day. We had the perfect mix of sightseeing, swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the stunning beauty of the coastline.
If you’re visiting Sorrento, don’t hesitate to book with Sorrento Sea Tours. They helped create memories that our family will never forget. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience, we would recommend you to everyone!

We had an incredible private boat tour of Capri with Sorrento Sea Tours, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! Our skipper, Renato, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we stepped on the boat.
Renato showed us all of Capri’s stunning sights, shared interesting facts about the island, and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to swim, take photos, and simply enjoy the breathtaking scenery. He tailored the day to what we wanted, making the entire experience feel personal, relaxed, and unforgettable.
One of the best parts of the day was Renato’s lunch recommendation. He arranged for us to have a great table at Bagni Tiberio, a local, family-owned, authentic restaurant that he highly recommended. The food was absolutely amazing, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. It’s the kind of place we never would have found on our own, and we’re so grateful for the recommendation.
The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and everything was seamless from start to finish. If you’re visiting Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast, we can’t recommend Sorrento Sea Tours enough. And if you have the chance, definitely ask for Renato—he went above and beyond to make our day in Capri absolutely perfect!!!

GIanluca our skipper was excellent. He showed us the best of the Capri and the Amalfi Coastline. He stopped at some great swimming spots. This was the highlight of our trip.
Cathleen_L, Jun 2026
We loved our boat trip and highly recommend it! Our captain, Rafael, was amazing and made sure we had the best time! He also made a reservation for us for lunch on Capri and that was great too. We especially loved swimming off the boat, the coves, and music throughout our day. It was fun for the whole family! Thank you Rafael!

Andre was amazing from start to finish! pickup was simple. He took us to all the caves and gave us the history and took all our photos! We even went to the blue gratto! 10/10 experience.
after we popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate our honeymoon! He took us to capri and we had lunch there and then went to the town of capri to do some shopping for about 2 hrs.
after we boarded the boat again we did some swimming and had a blast.
This experience was top notch and will do it again! Thank you Andre for such a memorable time!

This all day tour was the highlight of our trip. Experiencing beautiful scenery and grottos from our private boat while sipping on prosecco was incredible! Swimming in the gorgeous water and watching the fish swim by….also amazing! Lunch was delicious, our skipper was great…everything about this day was perfection. 10 out of 10.

It’s not worth the money. You can easily take the ferry and have the same experience. It’s overpriced for what they actually offer.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Mrs Rodriguez ,
We are sorry to read that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our goal is to offer a private boat tour that goes far beyond a simple transfer, focusing on comfort, flexibility, and exclusive moments along the way.
Unlike a ferry, a private tour allows for personalized stops, access to less crowded spots, dedicated explanations, and a tailored service. We regret that these aspects were not perceived or did not live up to your expectations.
Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps us continuously improve. We would appreciate the opportunity to better understand what happened: if you wish, please feel free to contact us directly and share more details about your experience.
Thank you for choosing our service, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with an experience that better reflects the quality we aim to deliver.
Kind regards,

This tour was an absolute dream. We did a private boat tour of Capri for the final day of our honeymoon and it ended up being the most memorable part of our entire trip.
Our captain, Salvatore, was an excellent, personable guide who took us to several incredible places along the coast (such as the Green Grotto) and allowed us to actually swim in the water there!
During the trip we were served prosecco, olives, tomatoes, meats and cheeses and truly lived in luxury as we lay on the bow and took in the sights. On the island itself, our captain made us a reservation at a delicious restaurant on Capri and gave us a few hours to explore before our return journey, which included more swimming and more prosecco.
What was also lovely is that our captain was kind enough to pick us up from our hotel's private dock, which made our day that much easier and hassle-free. All we had to do was pay the additional fuel cost for the pickup.
I could not have imagined a better trip. It was worth every single penny.

A truly spectacular experience! From the moment we booked, to the communication from the tour organizer, and also to the actual day of the our itself with our captain Roberto, we had a wonderful experience. Day of - Roberto communicated with me early, and had was even flexible about start time for the trip. We began with a coastal tour with multiple grotto explorations. Followed by a short swim, then the trip over to Capri. The organizers had asked us ahead of time as well about our food preferences and had set up a lovely restaurant for us too. We had 3 hours on Capri including lunch, and then had a nice afternoon swim again by private islands closer back to Positano. Drinks were served nicely along with light snacks - Roberto had Prosecco and beers, and was extremely informative about the coastline, history, small town stories, and much more. We only have the highest reviews for this trip. 10/10 will definitely come back!

Cameron_B, Sep 2025
Getting on the boat was chaotic. We were told we would board at 930am. We waited outside in the hot harbor for 50 minutes until our boat showed up. It wasn't our captain's fault, Marco was great and the actual boat experience was wonderful. It was just the chaos at the beginning that took two stars off of my review.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Cameron_B, Thank you for your feedback and for the kind words about Marco, we’re happy to hear you enjoyed the experience once on board.
We’re truly sorry for the confusion and delay during boarding. On that specific morning, there was an unexpected issue at the port which caused delays for several boats, and unfortunately it was out of our control. That said, we understand how frustrating it can be to wait in the heat, and we’ll keep working to improve the organization during busy times.
All in all, we are sorry for the delay at boarding, but we do feel it’s a bit excessive to leave a 3 stars review considering that the only one problem was the boarding time
We hope to welcome you again for a smoother start and another great day at sea!

It was a beautiful day traveling to the Isle of Capri. Captain Simone was knowledgeable and provided great suggestions to ensure we had the best experience possible. In fact, we were the last group to see the Blue Grotto because of his advice.

This private boat tour of Capri was the highlight of our trip! Our boat operator, Giovanni was a pro boatsman. He did not rush, told us so much about local culture of and gave us plenty of time to just relax and take in the sites, enjoy cocktails on the deck and soak in the sun. A storm did roll in the latter part and he was adamant that we depart Capri back to Sorrento a bit early and we trusted his judgement entirely. This allowed us to anchor closet back to Sorrento for the last 90 minutes and soak up the sun. Right after docking, the storm rolled ok and the bay was rough. Grateful for his care but it changed nothing about this being one of the best days ever!

Beautiful day on the water. Captain was very nice and helpful. I had asked them to make lunch reservation so we had lunch near boat tender location. If I redo this again, I would skip that lunch reservation and just have lunch/spend more time in Capri town.
Finding boat at Positano ferry pier was very chaotic. I would suggest that boat captain has sign with passengers name to avoid language and crowd chaos. Overall a lovely ( and EXPENSIVE) day on the water

Excellent day! Was a little rough in the afternoon but the sun came out and it was between 85-90 degrees F. Francesco was our English speaking guide and he was phenomenal. Our Captain was Antonio and he took great care in ensuring it was as calm as possible. Capri is gorgeous and I couldn’t think of a better way to see the island. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
