Itinerary
Get picked up from your hotel in the center of Sorrento and head to the town's dock to meet your skipper for the boat ride over to the island of Capri. Set off with your small group, as Sorrento slowly disappears from your view. On the ride there, indulge in some snacks, such as sandwiches and beverages. Then take a short break at Marciano or Mitigliano to jump off of the boat to go swimming or snorkeling.
Once on the island, explore the coast for a while, and say arrivederci to your skipper for a while as you'll have some free time to explore Capri as you wish. During your free time, perhaps go to the famed Blue Grotto or take the chairlift up to Monte Solaro for an incredible view. Perhaps sit down for a fresh seafood lunch or stroll around the Gardens of Augustus. All food, drinks, activities and entrance fees are your own expense.
When the time comes, head back to the designated meeting spot on the dock, board your boat and relax on the journey back to Sorrento.

My husband and I took the Capri tour and it was wonderful. The pickup and drop off at our hotel was great; less stress trying to figure out transportation. We had a wonderful crew on board who went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. Our skipper even assisted in us in figuring out transportation while we were on the island. A lot of tours only provided a short time on land while this tour allotted 4 hours. It was a perfect amount of time to do the things we wanted! I highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful time!!! The best crew! The tour around the island of Capri was phenomenal! Semi private bus for 22euro pp was perfecto!
We Had enough time in Capri and Annacapri to browse around.
Elizabeth_P, Oct 2025
Very glad we booked this excursion!! It was so convenient being picked up and dropped off right at our hotel. We had 6 couples and Tony the captain and Tony the tour guide were both amazing. We loved the up close and personal tour all the way around the island, then we had plenty of time on Capri to explore, shuttleup to Anacapri, eat lunch, do the chair lift, etc. It was a great day!

Joseph (Giuseppe) was an awesome captain and Sara was a wonderful first mate!! They provided a spectacular boat tour from Sorrento to the Isle of Capri. It exceeded our expectations and was definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy! We highly recommend! It is a must do!!

Beautiful day at sea. Captains were great. Best part of our trip. Felt very safe. Wish I would have jumped in . You have time to change cloths in the boat.
Leslie_R, Sep 2025
What an amazing day!
The tour was well managed and the boat was beautiful. You get to explore the island of capri and then after, drive around on the boat and swim.
Would recommend to everyone!
(Shoutout to Sara and our captain for keeping the vibes great!)

Sarah was knowledgable and made experience memorable. Sarah pointed out many historical references and we saw several wild goats on Anacapri!

Our host/skipper was very nice and accommodating. Overall, I enjoyed swimming in the sea and most of the boat ride itself. I'm also glad that the pickup from our hotel was included and very organized.
As a part of this activity, we were dropped off in Capri to explore the island on our own for four hours before rejoining our host on the boat. I felt that this part of the experience was hectic. Quickly learned that Capri is overrated, overcrowded, and has some of the worst-looking food I've ever seen. Didn't eat while I was there. Snacks were served when we got back on the boat, but they did not have sandwiches available as advertised.

Pick up to the location was a breeze, shuttle picked us up a block away from our hotel. Sarah and Antonino were lovely, so friendly and knowledgeable. The entire experience was well organized, great vibes and amazing scenery. Perfect for a small group! 10/10 experience!

You will enjoy this tour, we loved it. The tour guides were very friendly and treated us all like family. From the time we got on our boat till the end of our tour we were entertained

This was an absolutely amazing experience and totally exceeded our expectations! Our guide Giuseppe was funny, helpful and the captain was also great! We would totally recommend this to anyone wanting to do it!!

Absolutely perfect way to enjoy the best of both worlds - a fabulous boat day with swimming and a visit to Capri!
Samantha_C, Jul 2025
My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Our captain and assistant were wonderful they even serenaded us all with a song! The ride was very smooth and we had plenty of time on the island to explore. They gave wonderful suggestions of what to do and see and the best way to travel on the island. We ended our day with a shot of limoncello and a fun chant to cheers to a beautiful day! I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Capri!
Stephanie_H, Jun 2025
Our guides Tony and Tony were very entertaining, and masters of navigating the very busy areas to stop and swim, as well as dock at the Marina Grande. They found the best stops to see the caves and enjoy a swim and snorkeling. Take their suggestion for the 4 hours on Capri - shuttle bus to Anacapri, fun and exhilarating ride up to the top! Hop on the chairlift, and lunch at the restaurant at summit. Chairlift and shuttle down for shopping - it was perfect amount of time for the excursion and an overall fantastic day.
Ken_D, Jun 2025
Nice day. Started at 10:30 (maybe could have been a little earlier?). Had a nice tour around island with a couple of swim stops (one of the highlights). Crew were great (Guiseppe and Tony). Both were personable and engaging plus informative. They made for a great day. Only thing that I would change is maybe a little earlier, a little less time in Capri (4 hours was a lot - in my opinion) and maybe another swim stop on way home. Still had a GREAT time !
Kara_S, Jun 2025
Great day. We all loved the boat ride to and from and the swimming time—could have enjoyed a full day of that. The visit to Capri was nice. Took the chairlift up and had lunch.
Jonathan_B, Jun 2025
Rafael and Giuseppe were incredible hosts- offering us treats and advice! Excellent conversation and interesting facts about Capri and the history. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun day filled with sun, laughs and lemoncello.
Claire_R, May 2025
Highly recommend this boat trip to Capri. Italo and Antonio were fantastic on board, giving us lots of history about the places we were passing and were very accommodating. Italo was great when we got to Capri, making sure we were all happy with where we were going and showing us the shuttle bus.
What a fun day we all had!

This tour was awesome and fully worth the price. Captain “Super Mario” and first mate Italo were really friendly, incredibly informative, total professionals. We were picked up from hotel. Nice clean boat. Absolutely spectacular up close views and insights to all the amazing features of the island itself and great recommendations on where to go during the 4 hours free time on the island. Highly recommended!
Laurie_A, Apr 2025
I’m so glad we did a small group tour instead of the larger ferry boats. We went most of the way around the island seeing things from the sea and then landed at Marina Piccolo which is a small marina and not at all crowded. Public busses took us to Capri from the marina and from there we took another bus to Anna Capri. The chairlift sounds daunting but it’s not, we all loved the view! Then a bit of shopping and lunch and back to the marina for the boat ride back. Tony and Tony were our boat drivers and treated us to a great tour.

Highly recommend this incredible tour of Capri. Viviana and the crew were incredibly professional , knowledgeable ,warm and friendly They made our anniversary a very memorable one . Will return next year with our family.
Debra_D, Sep 2024
Are guides were wonderful and fun! Made sure we were comfortable and pointing out sites along the way!
Anne_B, Sep 2024
This boat cruise was such a fun day and the perfect start to our weeklong trip to the Amalfi Coast! The crew, Viviana and Tony (the Captain!) were great - telling jokes and entertaining us with stories throughout the day. The crew gave us great insider tips on the best ways to get around the island to maximize our time and see the sites we were interested in. We also enjoyed Giovanni's mini-tour to Anacapri - he was highly entertaining! We spent four hours in the morning on the island. This ended up working out perfectly because the island was so busy by the time we left. We then spent a couple hours cruising around Capri to see the various sea caves, Faraglioni Rocks, etc, and had time for a short swim. The water temp was perfect! Book this cruise if you can - you will meet fun people and get an experience that you can't get with larger boats!

The trip to Capri was very enjoyable thanks to Tony and the skipper who made it entertaining. I would highly recommend the excursion and Capri was beautiful.
Kaitlyn_D, Jul 2024
We had a great time on this boat excursion! Everything was well organized and the captain and crew were great. I would highly recommend this experience, this was the highlight of our trip!
Tom_B, Jul 2024
This day excursion to Capri was the highlight of our European vacation! Our captain, Giuseppe and his first mate, Aldo, made the trip a top notch experience. They expertly navigated the boat into every grotto and site along the island that they could. Further, they gave us great tips to help us fully enjoy the island while saving euros along the way. Just a wonderful family experience. Thank you, Giuseppe and Aldo!
Jonah_R, Jun 2024
Our family loves the trip. The captain and crew were so nice and helpful. We loved the ride to Capri, the shopping, the bistro for lunch, the scenery, and the swim! The bars near the beach are a bit pricey, however.
Adrienne_d, Jun 2024
A fabulous day, with amazing crew on board. Definitely the best day we had in the Amalfi. Capri is a must and this tour made it effortless.
Nicky_F, Jun 2024
We had a wonderful day on Capri. The boat trip over was lots of fun. Our guides were very knowledgeable with great tips about what to see and how to see as much as possible during our free time. We would fully recommend this tour. 👌
