Half Day Around Capri (4 Hours)

My husband and I did a 4 hour private boat tour around Capri and it was the highlight of our 10 day trip on the amalfi coast. The tour is out of Marina Piccola which I thought was way better because it’s not overly crowded and you can start away from all the other tours. Pepe was our boat captain and he was the best!! He showed us all the caves and little known grottos around the island. We had multiple stops where we could jump in and explore. The emerald grotto was our favorite. It was beautiful and not crowded at all. We opted not to do the blue grotto because the wait would’ve been at least 45 minutes and we wanted to have time to explore other areas. A private boat tour is definitely a luxury but if you can do it, definitely book here and definitely ask for Pepe!

We had a very good private boat tour around Capri. Communication with the company beforehand through WhatsApp was easy, and they were responsive and straightforward to coordinate with. I misunderstood the meetup location, so arriving late was my mistake, but the company was very understanding and did not reduce our tour time, which we really appreciated. It cost about €40 to take a taxi from Marina grande to the marina. He picks you up at of the other side of the island. The taxis were really cool, all convertible style. When we arrived, Rico was the captain assigned to us. He was friendly, relaxed, and very accommodating throughout the tour. We had met two friends the day before and asked if they could join us, and the company had no problem adding them since the boat allowed up to six guests. Rico gave us as much time as we wanted to swim, explained the different places we visited, and let us decide how we wanted to spend the tour rather than forcing a rigid itinerary. The Blue Grotto was closed, but that worked out well because we spent more time swimming and exploring the southern side of Capri, where many of the island’s best sights are located. Overall, a very enjoyable, flexible, and well-run private tour.

Enrico was amazing Captain!! The boat was very beautiful and so much fun. Highly recommend to family or couples.

Wonderful tour with Capri Blue Boats. We were on the 30 foot Capri by Emotion with Thomaso as our captain and the day could not have been more perfect. Thomaso was an outstanding guide, getting us into multiple grottos with spectacular colors. To see Capri from the water and cruise around the entire island was breathtaking. This tour is a must do when visiting Capri and Capri Blue Boats is the tour company to use!

We had a private excursion. Joseph, our captain, was a great guide and made us feel very comfortable. We visited every grotto, and we saw many interesting sights of the island . Captain Joseph was kind, knowledgeable, and was an excellent host. Joseph loved the sea and expressed his love for the island of Capri. He showed us all the grattos and managed to take all the photos we wanted to remember such a beautiful island. Captain Joseph made our anniversary trip very special. We have such beautiful pictures to remember the island of Capri. We highly recommend this company and captain Joseph. My favorite part was the blue grotto and the white grotto, ( you can see our blessed Mother Mary.). Thank you Captain Joseph.

It was a great day as Jose ( our captain) was a gracious and enjoyable skipper that took us around the entire island. We stopped to swim and take in the sites of this beautiful island. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to see the island from the sea.

We can’t thank Capri Blue Boats for our incredible tours!! My husband researched at home which boat company to use and Capri Blue Boats had the best reviews! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. We booked two different tours. The first one was a private half day tour around the Capri Island with Captain Emmanuel. The boat was nice looking, well maintained, clean and stocked with water, soda and beer. Emmanuel was born and raised on the island of Capri. He has 30 years of experience doing guided tours. He has such a passion for what he does. He was a wealth of knowledge regarding the island’s history, names of all caves, which he took us to and so many special sites. He shares many wonderful tidbits at each place. He took us to the Blue Gratto first at our request, which was a hectic place. He was so patient and navigated the boat effortlessly in that experience. He offered to stop at different places to swim. The time just flew by. Thank you Emmanuel!! We will always remember our special day with you! Our second trip was an all day private tour along the Amalfi Coast with Captain Rafaelle. This day was overcast and choppy waters. The owner Raffaelle, contacted us the day before to see if we still wanted to go and would refund our money on such short notice if we chose not to do the tour. We said we still wanted to go, so he sent a larger boat than we reserved for a smoother ride for us at no extra charge. He is so accommodating! We rode on the Frattelli Aprea 32. It felt grand. It was beautiful, clean and roomy. Captain Rafaelle was always so happy, helpful and also born and raised on Capri. He too was an excellent tour guide. He knew so much about every place we stopped at. He made it so much fun. Both tours were exceptional!! We highly recommend Capri Blue Boats for any excursion!! It was a highlight of our 3 week trip to Italy!!

Gianni was amazing!! He took us to a beautiful swimming spot. He was very informative about the island. Loved it!

Highly recommend taking a boat tour in Capri! In our 3 week euro trip, it was one of the highlights. Our tour guide, Emmanuel had 30 years experience and took us to all the best spots around the island. He was able to navigate the boat very smoothly throughout all the grottos and amongst other boats. We had multiple opportunities to swim and the water was amazing! The boat was in very good condition, with padding to sit at the very front or back and included shade. Pool noodles and drinks were also available on the boat. Definitely a must do in Capri :)

Amazing day, we booked last minute and the team were super helpful and efficient with getting everything sorted. The boat was lovely and the driver very informative but also let us choose where we would like to go including rocks, blue grotto and where to stop to swim. Overall fantastic day and would highly recommend to see the island of Capri.

The only way to see Capri is by boat. I recommend a private boat tour. It’s relaxing and the smaller boats can fit inside the caves. My friend and I did a 3 hr private tour and it was the highlight of our Italy trip. So gorgeous and no other people around. This company is wonderful. We originally booked for a certain day and the captain called the day before to warn of bad weather and we were able to change days and had a warm sunny gorgeous day. Highly recommended 👍👍👍🇮🇹

We booked a boat with skipper as part of our stay on honeymoon, our skipper was amazing Emanuele he was great took us around to all the caves and told us about them , stopped off for swims he really made our trip. Would highly recommend them .

Greta tour guide and definitely a must to see Capri Coordinator not very commutative and only water available in the boat contrary to the description

Renting a boat through Capri Blue Boats was one of my all time greatest vacation moments. Italy in the summer can be suffocating with the huge crowds and high temperatures. Our entire experience with Capri Blue Boats was amazing. We arrived 20 minutes prior to our departure to get changed (they have a small bathroom) and apply sunscreen. We were led to a small dock and put on a dinghy that took us out to the Grozzo Fratelli Aprea where our skipper was waiting. On board we were provided towels, water, masks/snorkel, noodles and round inflatables for swimming. Our skipper Emanuelo discussed different options. We decided to skip the Blue Grotto and explore caves on our own and swim in various caves/arches where the water glowed too. Our skipper was an amazing tour guide explaining the geography and history of Capri. I cannot put into words how special it was to swim around rock formations in glowing blue water. My only regret is not renting the boat longer and staying on Capri. It was such a peaceful day and even my 2 teens were thrilled with the entire experience. My advise is to skip the Amalfi/Positano/Ravello experience (even with a private driver) and spend your time in Capri. Final note, rent a boat with a skipper, he avoided dangerous areas with falling rocks and was having to stop other boats and warn them.

Great tour! Antonio was an awesome guide. We got to see the entire island and the grottos were beautiful!

Fantastic experience! Seeing Capri from this vantage point is another level of amazing. Our skipper was excellent, pointing out interesting sights and stopping in the ideal spot for us to cool off with a swim. We ended our tour at a nearby beach club, making for a truly perfect day. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour, very accommodating when I couldn’t get off my cruise ship on time. Skipper Antonio was very sweet and stopped at some great spots around the island.

Great way to spend the afternoon exploring Capri from the water booking private boat for 2. Trip starts from port on far side of island, take a taxi from main port. Boat driver spoke English and made sure we had a great time. We paid for a boat listed “with bathroom” but did not (smaller boat) than some with groups on board.

Could not recommend this boat trip/ tour enough! From the moment you get on, it is an unforgettable experience. The boat is VERY comfy, the staff are SO lovely. This really made our trip! 100/10. I really recommend!!

We arranged for Capri Blue Boats to give us a 3 hour tour around Capri. It was a fantastic trip. Emanuel was not just a great guide, explaining each site to us, but he was an amazingly skilled boat driver as well. Unfortunately, the Blue Grotto was closed, but that's not his fault. Oh, and the home.ade Limoncello was off the charts good!

My husband and I treated ourselves to this beautiful boat ride and it exceeded the ir expectations. We took our drinks and snacks so it wa perfect we sipped on what we wanted and enjoyed the ride. The Captain was super friendly and explained important sites. This was the best price and worth every penny.

We spent an exceptional morning with Emanuele! Beautiful tour, full of tips and friendly comments After the big iron to reach the island it was great to have a more personalized and quiet experience Thanks again Emanuele:)

The most beautiful experience in Capri, we went around the island and they showed us all the caves including the famous blue cave. Alfonso accompanied us and made us feel at home, explained everything to us and let us swim in wonderful places. Thank you with all my heart!
