Itinerary
You will be amazed by the waters of the Green Grotto, which looks like an enormous liquid emerald. Please remind that swimming in the Green Grotto is possible only if the sea is calm and safe.
Capri's most iconic sight is the dramatic Faraglioni, three towering rock formations in the Mediterranean Sea, just off the island's coast.
Takes its color thanks to the seaweed
On the east coast of the island of Capri, it's a rock arch dating from the Paleolithic age and we will pass through;
One of the most evocative and famous place in the world thanks to the splendid game of light and the legends it hides; We will pass by without stopping.

Wonderful experience with skipper Antonio. We requested some time to swim and cliff jump. He offered to take photos and videos for us, and shared some interesting stories about legends around the island. We were offered beer and water from the cooler near the end of the tour - I’m sure if we had asked earlier it would have been provided. After another booking cancelled on us last minute, we were able to book this just 3 hours in advance, and this was a great option for the price!! Hope to be back - everyone we interacted with was very kind and helpful :) 5 stars Note: Message them on whatsapp when you arrive to the designated location because it can be difficult to find. Our tour was a little delayed because of boat availability, but they started the tour duration once we were on board.
I booked this three-hour private boat tour specifically for my proposal, and unfortunately it turned what was supposed to be one of the most memorable days of our lives into an experience I genuinely regret booking. Before the tour, I told them I was proposing and asked what they could provide to make the experience special. They sent me a link to purchase fresh fruit and sangria. We never received the fresh fruit, and apparently the sangria was sitting in a cooler on the boat, but he never even told us it was there until after the experience was over. Even the waters and sodas he provided weren't cold. Early in the tour, he took us to a spot for some separate swim time before the proposal. He parked the boat roughly 100 meters away from where we wanted to swim, while we could see other boats getting much closer. Throughout most of the trip, he was also very quiet and didn't make much conversation or seem particularly interested in being a host. He did take some pictures of us posing together at the front of the boat, which I appreciated. However, when it came to the actual proposal — the most important moment of the entire trip — I specifically asked him multiple times to take pictures. Afterward, I found out he hadn't taken a single photo of the actual proposal and had only recorded one video. This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment and one of the main reasons I booked a private boat, so that was incredibly disappointing. I had also purchased a roughly $200 bottle of champagne specifically to celebrate after the proposal. Once she said yes, I asked him multiple times to bring out the champagne, and he never did. Between the missing fruit, the sangria we weren't told about, and the champagne that was never brought out, the lack of attention to detail was unbelievable considering they knew in advance that this was a proposal. To make matters worse, the ride was extremely choppy and my fiancée became very sick. We eventually had to end our three-hour tour about an hour early. Instead of slowing down and making the ride back as comfortable as possible for her, he seemed happy to head back early and rushed us back, which made her feel even worse. Then, despite us not receiving several of the things we had paid for, he told me he wouldn't accept a card and that I had to pay cash. He walked me to an ATM and hovered over me while I withdrew the money, seemingly making sure I wasn't going to leave without paying. It felt really uncomfortable, especially after everything that had already happened. I understand that not everything will go perfectly on a boat tour, and I wasn't expecting someone else to create the proposal for me. But when a guide knows in advance that you're proposing, you've paid for a private three-hour experience and expensive extras, and you've repeatedly communicated what you need, I think it's reasonable to expect basic attentiveness, hospitality, and for the things you paid for to actually be provided. Capri itself was absolutely beautiful, and thankfully my fiancée said yes, but this tour was by far the worst part of what should have been an incredible day. Instead of looking back at the boat experience as something special, I regret choosing this guide for such an important moment. I would highly recommend choosing a different guide, especially if you're planning a proposal or another once-in-a-lifetime occasion. If I could give this experience zero stars, I would.
Yes, that distinction matters. He did take some photos of you together, just not the actual proposal despite you specifically asking him to capture it. And the 100-meter issue was during a separate swimming stop. I’d revise it like this: I booked this three-hour private boat tour specifically for my proposal, and unfortunately it turned what was supposed to be one of the most memorable days of our lives into an experience I genuinely regret booking.

So much fun to get on the water and leave the crowds behind. The cruise was quite interesting as you see several roman ruins not easily visible from land.
Fabulous experience with gorgeous views. Saw unbelievable rock formations and grotto's including the Blue Grotto. Spectacular!!! Highly recommend.
We had Ciro as our skipper earlier this afternoon and he is absolutely amazing. He was very informative, got us close to all the caves and sights around the island and most importantly took so many (amazing!) photos of us during the tour. We really appreciated it. We will definitely be returning. Thank you!
Great 2 hour trip, Marco was very friendly and knowledgeable. Super relaxing and we stopped for some swimming too. Would highly recommend.
This was such an incredible experience. We had a romantic and relaxing time on the water. Beautiful views, delicious bites/wine and overall amazing time.
Ciro was a fantastic guide and captain and gave us plenty of information while also finding great spots for us to stop and swim in the beautiful Capri water!
I had a terrible experience with this company. I booked the 3 hour boat tour so I could see both the rocks and the blue grotto. Upon getting to the blue grotto I noticed there was a long line, the skipper said it would be 30 minutes. After 30 minutes passed I asked again if I would still have enough time to see the rocks and do the blue grotto, he assured me that we could. After about 45 minutes of sitting and waiting I asked again, because at this point I was ready to leave as I did not want to spend my entire day waiting to see the blue grotto. I asked again about going to see the rocks after waiting an hour and he again said, don’t worry we’ll have time. After an hour of waiting and going into the blue grotto which took all of 5 minutes, when we came out he stated we didn’t have enough time to do both. I was of course, frustrated because I asked several times if we would have enough time and he assured me that we would. I believe that the skipper did not feel like driving that day and that’s why he sat there and had us wait for the blue grotto for so long. After this experience I spoke with management who was extremely rude and said that the blue grotto had been closed for days prior which is why the wait was longer than usual. Obviously, as a visitor I was not privy to that information and that should have been explained prior to us waiting but instead the skipper lied and said 30 minutes and when I kept asking he kept saying just 10 more minutes. This company is dishonest and I would not recommend booking with them.
It was a great boat trip. Marco was a fantastic tour. Stopped twice to swim. Got to snorkel as well. Great trip. Best boat trip we went on during our trip (went in Mallorca and in Positano and this was the best.
Absolutely unforgettable experience. We booked a private boat in Capri for the day, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made on the trip. Just the two of us cruising along the coastline, stopping to swim in the clearest water we’ve ever seen, and exploring hidden grottos it felt like something out of a movie. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. We brought a bottle of wine, played music, and just soaked in the sun and scenery. Capri from the water is a whole different world calm, romantic, and totally magical. If you’re thinking about doing it DO IT. Worth every euro and we’d absolutely do it again in a heartbeat. One of those days you’ll remember forever.
The tour guide was experience and gave us a lot of information about the island of Capri. I learned a great deal from his tour.
Our tour guide-did a great job. He explained several places on the island of Capri and after the tour, I had a better understanding of the beautiful island of Capri. He was very personable and easy to converse with.
This is my special trip the boat man mr Cicero was very king explain us everything and show us all he was very nice and smiling
Amazing trip! Massimo was a great captain and we had so much fun vibing on the boat together with prosecco and snorkeling, water is super cold but wakes you up and beautiful to be on the boat
A must do as it is wonderful to see Capri from the sea. Antonio was excellent and showed us all the sites, found a couple of good locations for swimming and seeing little fish.
We had thee best time and experience on our private boat tour! The views were spectacular! Highly recommend booking with this company
Slight issue with the weather and the schedule. We would have preferred to have our trip at the beginning of the day so we could enjoy the island longer, but it was smack in the middle and we had to hang around the port instead of exploring the Island of Carpi. That being said, the tour itself was fantastic. The captain was an expert at navigating. He got us incredibly close to things, took pictures for us, kept the ride smooth and highlighted all kinds of sights we didn't expect to find. It was fantastic. I would definately do this again if we go back. Amazing, responsive and caring company.
Enzo was great and we loved every breathtaking moment of our boat ride! This is a MUST when in Capri. Don’t skip this “excursion!”
Enzo was the best, the trip was great value for money. Can’t wait to get back and do it again. The island was so gorgeous and all the spots we stopped at were beautiful, had a great time swimming as well, water was perfect.
We had an awesome day trip to Capri in large part due to the private couples boat tour! The tour took us around the island’s exterior learning about the history and local story of the island. We stopped along the way to swim and explore a few grottos, too! In addition to the adorable boat and great tour guide, there was a cooler on board stalked with drinks and snacks! Would highly recommend Mr. Costanzo for those interested in seeing Capri from the water!
We took this boat trip yesterday and took our 11 month old baby. Our skipper was great, so informative and took us to see everything. He offered to take lots of family photos . He had cold drinks and made us feel so comfortable. I’d recommend this trip to anyone!
Marcelo was amazing! The tour was breathtaking. Having a private boat and attentive captain made our trip absolutely perfect. Best money I’ve spent yet in Europe. Marcelo never rushed us and let us swim in so many different areas including through the Green Grotto to the other side where he drove around and picked us up. The boat was flawlessly clean and beautiful. Absolutely will do this again when visiting Capri. Money well spent!!!
We had the best time on this boat tour round Capri. Mr Costanzo, the captain, was very accommodating and also very knowledgable. We didn’t have the best of weather, as it was slightly overcast and the water was a bit choppy, but this did not hamper the experience whatsoever. Mr Costanzo knew exactly which way to take us to find the more peaceful water. He took us around all the hot spots, which included the caves / grottos. We were also able to connect our music and have a few drinks which certainly went down well on our honeymoon! Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about a private boat tour. Thanks for having us!
It was a pleasure working with Mr. Costanza. He was extremely professional and excellent communicator. Highly recommend when in Capri.
Francesco was amazing! We enjoyed the ride around the island and he was super informative on the history of Capri. His skills navigating the waters to get us up close to caves were incredible. Very well run operation from start to finish.
This experience was incredible, we did boat trip as planned with steps to faraglioni, famous natural masterpiece and some caves as grotta verde or grotta del corallo
Our skipper Marcello was great, we loved every minute of the trip. Nice boat, great communication and service.
Our 2 hour tour was perfect! The route had the perfect mix of stopping for interesting grottos and caves and travelling around the island itself for great views, like the classic Faraglioni. In addition, our guide shared a few nice Capri “Easter-eggs” and tidbits while still allowing the trip to be relaxing. The boat is entirely cushioned for comfort and has a seat-back pillow that you can orient however you want to get the best views. Would absolutely recommend to anyone coming to Capri — and will book again on any future trips!
Touring Capri by boat is definitely the best way to see the natural beauty of the island. It is also wonderful getting away from the crowds on land. Marco is an excellent captain and he made the trip memorable.
The tour was cancelled a few days prior to but put back on last minute the morning of and it did not seem like very many other tours were happening as we only saw a few other boats out at the same time. Weather shortened our tour so it wasn’t as good as it could have been. The views of the island were amazing don’t get me wrong but it rained just about the whole time so we couldn’t swim and it was hard to really enjoy everything as we only stayed on the Capri side missing even observing the green or blue grotto. We started slightly behind schedule, seemed to be no rush. The guide was friendly but he was hard to understand and we were not offered any beverages like the booking said the whole time. I would’ve liked the option to reschedule the tour the following day at least to help accommodate for stay and luggage.
It is a beautiful experience, you can appreciate beautiful views of Capri and immerse yourself in the cold waters.
Our captain Ciro was courteous and knowledgeable about every nook and cranny of Capri. Yes there are lots of nooks and crannies at every turn along the coast line. Mobility is an issue for me and Captain Ciro was helpful getting me on and off the boat safely. Ciro took all the time needed to explain everything my wife and I were seeing and was very hospitable
Davido was an excellent captain! The views and history he provided as well as safety were amazing! We would recommend him to anyone visiting Capri!!!
Our boat tour was an amazing experience. It was the highlight of our trip. Giorgio was a great captain and took photos for us while we enjoyed swimming and the scenery. I highly recommend this tour.
We had a lovely time on our private boat tour. The trip started bit behind schedule, but we still had two full hours on the boat, which was plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Our guide, Ricardo, was really charming. He suggested we skip the Blue Grotto to avoid crowds and choppy water. Instead, we stopped at the white and green grotto, and swam in several secluded spots around the island. I’m not the best swimmer, so Ricardo provided me with a floaty so I could still get in and enjoy the experience. He also provided swim goggles so we could check out the ocean floor. We streamed music on the boat, including playing That’s Amore when we motored under the Faragiloni. Such a wonderful, memorable time! I would strongly suggest doing the Blue Grotto outside of this boat tour to get the most of your experience. We went to the Blue Grotto early the next day (were second in line) and managed to see it without sitting in line for hours. The boats waiting were bobbing around for quite some time and passengers had to transfer from boat to boat, which looked a little rough. If you stay overnight on Capri, you can be the first ones to arrive and avoid the insane crowds. Plus, Capri after the day trips have left is absolutely magical.
A must do in Capri!! Wonderful private boat with loads of space to sun bath. The captain Massimo was fantastic. They serve wine, Prosecco, beers and soft drink from a cooler box. We brought our own which was fine. We booked a two hour trip and went round the whole island and stopped off for a swim. We could have easily stayed on longer. Highly recommend
Sadly, due to rough seas, we were unable to do the tour on either Sunday (our originally booked date) or Monday ( our rescheduled . Mr. Costanzo was very communicative via What’sApp and our full refund was provided in the time frame as he indicated.
Our tour of Capri was one to not be forgotten. We got lucky that the morning weather was not so great and the tours were not going out. We were able to reschedule later that day when the weather was much better. Bright blue sky and shining sun. We toured around the whole island seeing many of the grottos and sights and famous houses etc. our guides provided some information on how natural formations came to be. Certain lore on specific spots around the island. A couple of shots of limoncello to boot were perfect. Our guides were gracious enough to take photos of us for us. Getting out to swim through the green grotto was exhilarating. All in all it was a wonderful ride around Capri
Our tour guide was so friendly, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and let us swim whenever we wanted! We had a fabulous time and got to explore multiple grottos. The island itself is beautiful and the boat takes you around the entire thing. Please book this experience! You absolutely won’t regret it!
It seems overpriced but is a unique, worthy experience you should not miss if you have had a long trip to get to Capri! Our captain Davide was very helpful and listened our requests to visit specific spots, including the green grotto for a short swimming time. Recommended!
We had the best captain who told us about all of the significant areas around Capri, and even though it was a windy day, he was always under control. He even took pictures and videos of our engagement proposal, which really made everything that much better. Would HIGHLY recommend this experience.
We loved our boat tour with Mario, who was very fun and informative. The views of the various caves, grottos, and steep cliffs were breathtaking, and the entire experience was fun, relaxing, and memorable! We highly recommend this trip to Capri visitors!
Amazing views, our captain Davide showed high level skills when surfing the waves on a not quiet sea, achieving to safely get close enough to the green grotto to have a swim! A bit costly, but it is an once in a life experience, best way to spend your money if you can afford it!
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! BEYOND Disappointed… Was so looking forward to seeing Capri privately by boat. Initially I received information to meet at a meeting point, as per the trip advisor confirmation email. However, I received a second EMAIL from this business via a trip advisor that was sent at 3:26pm when the tour started at 4, outlining a completely different meeting point! Luckily we arrived to the original meeting point very early and whilst waiting, I randomly (and luckily), checked my emails to see an email was sent with a different meeting point!!?? If we hadn’t arrived super early and I’d checked my emails, we would have missed our tour completely due to strict no wait policy as outlined in the email. See below screenshots outlining original meeting point and last minute email outlining different meeting point with the time sent (3:26pm), at top corner - yellow highlight!!?? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE NOTICE OR A CALL OR TEXT TO ADVISE OF THE LAST MINUTE CHANGE & DIFFERENT MEETING POINT. It is completely unacceptable to send an email with a different meeting point at 3:26pm when the tour departs at 4pm and another meeting point had already been provided… Many tourists would not have email access or data to check their emails whilst waiting at the port and resultantly miss their tour. Despite arriving to the updated meeting point on time, we still departed 10 mins late and arrived back to the port 25 mins prior to 6pm (our tour was supposed to be 4-6pm, which resulted in our overpriced 2 hr tour only being 1 hr 25 mins duration.) Everything was rushed and unprofessional. The only towels available were completely soaking / used towels from the previous tours earlier that day. We were forced to drink out of dirty and used glasses with traces of other drinks in the bottom - no hygiene between tours. Everything was dirty/used from earlier tours that day. Our tour guide/captain was abrupt and did not want to be there… He initially outlined if we go to the blue grotto we won’t be able to see anything else as the other sights were in the opposite direction of the island and impossible to see. (?untrue). He suggested we just swim nearby for the entire tour duration but we said we’d like to see some sights of the island and could swim anytime. We felt completely rushed the whole tour... Our captain was on his phone regularly making calls and voice messaging?The tour guide was not happy and seemed inconvenienced with us. We saw many other of the same tour company boats that were taking their time with the sights whilst our captain quickly overtook and lapped past them ALL in haste to get back to the dock and finish for the day. We then arrived back to the dock area extremely early and remained immobile in the water for the second time during the tour. The captain then offered to take some photos with the dock in the background which we assume was to kill some time. I also took timestamped photos evidencing the late departure and extremely early arrival time back to dock and reviewing my photos I was in shock given the price we paid… We arrived to the updated meeting point 3:50. The boat finally arrived to the dock at 4:12 pm. We stepped foot back on the dock 5:37pm. Our tour was supposed to be 4-6pm, which resulted in our overpriced 2 hr tour only being 1 hr 25 mins duration. Also looking back now at example itinerary- we did not see the red grotto, blue grotto or green grotto. We felt very rushed and the tour guide was rude and unprofessional and on his phone often during the tour whilst steering the boat - (see photo). Awful.
I really don’t recommend. The boat was never going to fit in the blue grotto as an option to even check it out. We were fine before we even got on not seeing it in case there was a long line. It also was VERY rushed. The captain races around the island with 5 minutes of swim time. No music, no drinks, no snacks. Felt rushed for the entire 2 hours. I would recommend looking into another company. There were SO many other options at the port itself.
Expérience was amazing forme the organisation to the boat tour. I book a private tour for me and my wife it’s was wonderful. Great weather, the boat is very nice with a sofa on the front to enjoy the view. Also thank yo Ciro the skipper. Good advice, very kind doing is best for us. Thank to Constantino the first contact when you booke on viator. You can book without hesitation !
This was the highlight of our entire Italy trip! We definitely recommend spending a little more to have the private boat experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and hospitable. We did not go in the Blue Grotto in order to save time but we still saw the caves and blue water elsewhere.
