Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore
Description
Portrayed by artists, sung by poets, the island of Capri is the pearl of the Gulf of Naples. From Sorrento, enjoy an amazing journey sailing the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea onboard our typical "gozzo" boat with a maximum group size of 12 people. The charming fishing village of Marina Grande and an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC will be the scenery of our trip along the Sorrento peninsula. Once in Capri, be captivated by the beauty of the island: the imposing Faraglioni rocks, the villa of Curzio Malaparte, the suggestive colored grottoes: White Grotto - Green Grotto - Blue Grotto and the lighthouse of Punta Carena. 4 hours of free time ashore to visit Capri city center and with enough time to reach Anacapri chair lift by bus or taxi. Stop for swimming and opportunity to visit the Blue Grotto, depending on waiting times. Free bottle of Prosecco, beer, soft drinks and seasonal fruit on board. Return to Sorrento around 4:30 pm.

We had a great day on the boat! Nice warm welcome by chichi and davide. Safe and beautiful tour around the island. Lots of tips and explanations. Closing the day with a swim between the fish in the blue ocean.
The whole trip was excellent. Checking in was simple, the boat had everything we needed. Refreshments were offered regularly. The captain gave some great advice about what to do on capri
Totally awesome experience, we had the best day boating and swimming around the isle of capri. Would definitely book again.
It was a great day! The guide Lucio was the atmosphere maker from moment one together with the captain Marcelino. He explained everything well, told all kinds of things about Capri and showed beautiful places around with stories to go with it. Music and the dance moves were shown. It was an unforgettable fun day! We ended the day with a swim in the sea in a quiet place, where we were all partying in the water;).
Really enjoyed the trip - would rebook if we return to Italy! Guide (Roberto) was fantastic and made the trip much more enjoyable. However, ensure you are at the meeting point early!
Great time, felt safe, easy to enjoy, and the team was amazing. I would do It again in a heartbeat and bring my friends. Great day on the boat and in Capri thanks to them.
We had a great time on our trip to see the island of Capri. The knowledge of our guides was great and we had ample time to swim and explore Capri at leusire. Options of beers or soft drinks provided. We had about 2 and half hours of time on land. Enough to see Anacpri and Monte Solaro. The boat itself was comfortable and Nino and Fernando excelled in making us feel very welcome and comfortable. Sempre Napoli!
The Sorrento Capri small group boat tour was a 10 out of 10 experience, highlighted by our exceptional guide Roberto’s friendly, respectful care. He tailored the day to the group’s interests, shared engaging island history, kept everyone refreshed with drinks and even treated the group to a fruit salad after the boat ride. His thoughtful recommendations and personal touches made the entire tour memorable and smooth.
MBS tours were absolutely fantastic. Giuseppe and the crew were lovely and made the whole experience a joy from start to finish
Not the operators faults but grottos we’re all closed due to high tide David was very nice and he did his best to keep us all entertained.
