Tour Options
Itinerary
Choose from dozens of meeting points available in Sorrento both in the center and suburbs and relax with our port pick-up service. Alternatively, we can meet directly at the Marina della Lobra pier.
We will start from Marina della Lobra on boats for max 12 people, located in the heart of Punta Campanella Marine Park, is a favorite area for dolphins and sea turtles
Reaching the island of Capri after about 30 minutes of navigation at moderate speed we will reach the Blue Grotto. In Roman times it served as the private swimming pool of an important villa in the area, today with its play of light it is one of the most visited nature sites in the world. We will go to the Blue Cave at the best times to find less line i.e. early morning or afternoon so as to avoid too long lines. Remember that since the cave entrance is only 1 meter ( 3.28 feet ) high, the site remains closed in case of adverse marine weather conditions.
We will navigate along the coast of Anacapri, the second town on the island that has the second largest and most powerful lighthouse in Italy: the Punta Carena lighthouse
Once a den for local pirates to hide out and suddenly assault merchants in the area, today it is a natural oasis for migratory birds with crystal-clear waters.
Fascinating from a naturalistic point of view with turquoise waters and sheer rock. Crowded with yachts from all over the world with their helicopters and floating pools competing for places in the exclusive restaurants along the coast. all this is Capri's Marina Piccola, the center of the Capri days with its charming little beach where you can spend some free time.
The Faraglioni of Capri are the symbol of the island and an ideal spot to take unique souvenir photos. With our boats we will stop near the Faraglioni so that you can take magnificent souvenir photos aided by our staff.
Rich emperors and famous people have lived in Capri through the centuries. Discover from close, one of the emblematic houses of the island.
Magnificent natural formation where you can let your imagination flies to discover further Capri’s beauty.
Natural grotto where everything gets white, instead of crystalline dream water, see from distance, the stalagmite that looks like Virgin Mary, reason of many visitors and making the grotto famous on earlier years.
Get 4 hours to discover Capri from inside. Time for yourself and your loved ones. PLEASE NOTE: The 'order of visiting places is approximate. The skipper according to the marine weather conditions of the day decide whether to do the 4-hour stop first and then do island tour, or do island tour first and then the 4-hour stop, or whether to divide the island tour into half before and half after the 4-hour stop.
At the end of the tour sail for about 30 minutes at moderate speed to return to the port of departure. Then drop-off service at the same pick-up point in the morning.

Amazing Boat trip with Antonio and Claudio! Excellent with a beautiful boat, nice crew showing us the coastline, caves, cristal blue water and Capri! Just a perfect day!!! Thank you! ✨
Absolutely fantastic tour Antonio was great he explained everything so clear throughout the tour. Clean boat, friendly Guide Antonino. We stopped for a swim I didn’t go in because I can’t swim. Antonio offered me floats explain I’m scared of water he offer to go in the sea with me to have the experience of the sea. He so thoughtful so I didn’t miss out. That was such a kind gesture. Nothing was a problem with asking him questions or for information. Fully recommend the tour even though we never got to go in the blue grotto because of high tied we did see the others. Thanks for a great day out.
Nice trip. The guides were awesome. Capri as a town is a bit overrated but the Island with his caves and the chair lift is very nice.
What an unforgettable day! ❤️ Yesterday, we were able to experience a boat tour to Capri as a family, and we are still overwhelmed. From the very first moment, we felt welcome and comfortable. The entire team introduced themselves personally, explained everything clearly, and made us feel that we could come to them with any question at any time. We were particularly impressed by the warmth of the staff. You could immediately tell how much passion they put into their work. There was a lot of laughing, joking, music playing, and a wonderful atmosphere created on board. You didn't feel like a guest, but like part of a big family. The team was incredibly attentive, kept asking if everything was okay, and even took beautiful souvenir photos for us. The grand finale was simply dreamlike: The boat stopped at a beautiful spot, we were allowed to jump into the crystal-clear sea and swim. Diving goggles and pool noodles were provided, nothing was really missing. It was exactly these small, loving details that made this day something very special. This boat tour was far more than just a trip to Capri, it was an experience full of zest for life, warmth, and authentic Italian flair. These are exactly the moments that stay in your heart forever. Many thanks to the wonderful team that made this day unforgettable for us. We can recommend this tour from the bottom of our hearts and would book it again anytime!
An all-around successful boat tour to Capri! The entire tour was beautiful and perfectly organized. The staff was very nice, friendly, and attentive. During the trip, we received a lot of interesting information, and all our questions were answered in detail. It was especially great that the guests' wishes were accommodated at all times. An absolute highlight was swimming in the open sea at the end of the tour – an unforgettable experience that you should definitely not miss. Thank you very much for this great day – we can unreservedly recommend the boat tour!
I had an incredible experience on this boat tour to Capri! The scenery was absolutely stunning, the water was crystal clear, and getting to swim in such beautiful spots was definitely a highlight. A huge thank you to our captain, Juan Carlo, and our guide, Raffaele. Juan Carlo did an excellent job navigating the boat and always made us feel safe and comfortable. You could tell he was experienced and focused on making sure everyone had a great trip. Raffaele made the day even more memorable. He was fun, energetic, and gave us great recommendations while answering every question with enthusiasm. He really helped create an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone on board. He even took the time to teach me how to do a flip off the boat into the water, which ended up being one of my favorite memories from the day! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better way to experience Capri. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, beautiful, and well-run day on the water.
I was called on the eve asking if they could cancel my capri ride because there was a storm forecast I was surprised, because the sky was clean but I ended up agreeing. I was told it would be exactly the same ride I had booked. I agreed, but the tour was done English end, which compromised the understanding of the explanation. The sailor and the other boy were excited and kind.
Good afternoon! thanks for your review! always help us to grow and make better for our clients! We remember the case, not any Tempestade or storm, but during summer there are risk of "Wind storm" in the evening when very warm day, for this we offered not the same tour but a 2 hours longer tour departing in morning instead of afternoon to avoid this wind on forecast. We are sad that you were expecting probably portuguese guide on the tour, but please not that in any tour we offer portuguese guide, so the language was indeed not changed. thanks again for sharing your feedback!
Our Capri day trip by boat was one of the highlights of our vacation! The day started with a very convenient early hotel pickup in Sorrento, which made the transfer to the departure point in Massa Lubrense completely stress-free. A huge thank you to our captain, Emmanuel, and his assistant, Antonio. They were caring, professional, and informative throughout the entire day. They worked seamlessly as a team to make sure everyone on board was comfortable, safe, and enjoying themselves. We especially appreciated how they adapted the itinerary based on the Blue Grotto tide conditions. Instead of waiting in long lines, they wisely dropped us off at Marina Piccola to do the our self guided four-hour tour around Capri first before returning to the Blue Grotto for those who wanted to visit (optional at an additional €19). Their experience and communication made the day run smoothly and helped us make the most of our time. One of our favorite parts was stopping at a beautiful swimming spot where they provided pool noodles and snorkeling masks, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. The refreshments were another nice touch. Throughout the trip we enjoyed water, beer, Prosecco, and refreshing limoncello to end the day. Overall, this was an incredibly well-organized excursion with excellent communication from start to finish. Thank you, Emmanuel and Antonio.
Overall an amazing experience! Pick up/drop off service was a great addition. Friendly staff and great service. Highly recommend!
I will start with the high points of the tour. Our tour guides were kind and pleasant and ensured that we were safe and comfortable for the duration of the tour. We had booked the blue grotto option for our tour early in the morning. Unfortunately, upon arrival we learned that the caves were closed. Although, this is a possibility, it isn’t really stated clearly in the description for the activity. I do think that we should have been refunded the extra money for not being able to participate in this part of the tour. Also, you have to pay to enter the caves separately so essentially we paid for something we never go to do. Additionally, we had many other stops we were supposed to do and we ended up skipping for various reasons. Although, we did enjoy being on the water. It felt like we paid a great deal of money to basically ride around on a boat around Capri and swim for a little while. Overall, we were disappointed with this tour.
