Itinerary
This is one of the major attractions in Capri.
Another wonderful attraction of Capri, accessible only by boat. You will spend approximately 10 minutes here.
Reachable only by boat, this wonderful, lesser known grotto takes its name from the red corals reflecting in water.
Travelers will enjoy a view of this natural formed ancient rock from the sea, from a completely different perspective.
This is a must-see attraction of Capri. The best way to enjoy its beauty is from sea.
Watch Capri from the sea. While you sail from one attraction to the other, you will see Capri from a different point of view: directly from the sea. You will also relax on board, swim or snorkel.

We took our two young children (5 and 7) on the half day boat tour and had the best time! Our captain, Luca, was great and his boat was beautiful - it was the perfect day in Capri. We loved having the boat to ourselves, and going at our own pace, and the kids loved jumping off the boat into the crystal clear water. We can’t recommend this trip enough if you’re in Capri!
We were a family of five and the boat tour itself was beautiful. Capri is an incredible place, and we enjoyed seeing the island from the water. Unfortunately, the experience ended in a way that completely changed our impression. After the tour, I handed the captain a cash tip. Instead of simply thanking us, he made a face, mumbled in Italian while gesturing that it wasn’t enough, and then directed me to an ATM to get more cash. That was incredibly uncomfortable. My wife and teenage sons immediately realized what was happening, and the mood changed instantly. On our walk back to the ferry, we all talked about it and agreed to put it behind us and enjoy the rest of our vacation, but it left a lasting impression. I have no problem tipping for excellent service, but I don’t believe anyone should be pressured into giving more after they’ve already left a gratuity. Telling a guest to go to an ATM crossed a line for me.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I am glad your family enjoyed Capri from the water, I am deeply sorry and embarrassed by the captain's behavior at the end of the tour. Tipping is entirely at your discretion, and under no circumstances should a staff member ever question a gratuity or suggest visiting an ATM. This is completely unacceptable and falls far short of our professional standards. I have addressed this directly with the captain to ensure it never happens again. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a flawless experience in the future.
Great day on the water with our guide! Took us to all the best places, spent some time in the water and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Capri. Would recommend!
Nothing fancy but a perfect way to spend a day in the ocean in Capri. We had a great time! Our boat captain was lovely
We had an absolutely wonderful private boat tour around Capri! Our captain, Samuel, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. We visited the famous Blue Grotto, had plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear sea, and enjoyed cruising around the entire island while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The boat was comfortable, the pace was perfect, and Samuel made sure we saw all the highlights while allowing time to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of Capri. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this experience and especially Captain Samuel for an unforgettable day on the water!
This was a wonderful experience! First off, the communication was excellent. Also, we were so grateful how accommodating they were to us when we arrived late due to some unexpected circumstances. Our captain, Ciro took us around the whole island of Capri, telling us about the history of the island, and taking us to several amazing locations. We stopped in several caves, and even went swimming through one. The sights were beautiful and the water was crystal clear! This was, by far, the best day of our trip! This experience is a must-do!
Best day in Capri. Highly recommend. Captain Ciro was excellent and so kind to show us all the grotto spots. Went swimming in the end of May and it was lovely! Had option of going to Blue Grotto on trip but skipped because of the crowds. Went to many other ones without crowds and extra fees. Have unbelievable pics!
It was a wonderful half day on the water around Capri which is the best way to see the stunning cliffs and caves. Because of a wind warning we agreed to started two hours earlier at 12 which worked out well. Very good communication through WhatsApp. Unfortunately because of the wind the Blue Grotto was closed, which is a risk of visiting in October. Captain Ciro was on time and we had the boat to ourselves, just my wife and me, which was very nice. The boat has nice classic feel with wood and it has a small front deck to stretch out, catch the sun, and view the absolutely stunning cliffs and caves. Everything was very relaxed, with nice explanations here and there, and the captain was very friendly and skillful. We had a wonderful lunch break while anchored, with swimming (bring a snorkeling mask if you can). Overall a very nice half day; and having four hours for this tour really allowed for a very relaxed non-rushed experience of all the spectacular beauty of Capri.
We did the morning tour as a family of five and Ciro was incredible! I will recommend to anyone going to Capri. The tour was the perfect trip around the island with plenty of spots to swim. Ciro was so knowledgeable about the island!
Our guide was kind and knowledgeable! Allowed us to set the pace and gave great recommendations. Had a wonderful time!
