Amazing day on the water - The best way to see Capri during the crowded summer months is from a boat! Our guide, Francesco, was knowledgeable and able to tuck the boat into amazing grottos. The swimming spots were sublime, and a great way to get out of the heat. The communication with the company was friendly, proactive, and made finding our way easy. We stayed in Sorrento and booking a ferry over to Capri was easy through Ferryhopper. I highly recommend this day trip if you’re in the area!!

Don’t Think Twice! - Amazing day and hospitality!
Alessandro, Stefano and the entire Capri Boat Tours team provided and fabulous experience from sightseeing key parts of the island and it’s history to spending time in the water soaking it all in.
We purchased snacks and beverages from a market near the dock and utilized the large cooler full of ice on board to add to the experience. Stefano did a great adding to the vibe with his speaker and playlist. “Don’t Think Twice”, about booking with Capri Boat Tours if you’re looking for an amazing experience and unbelievable memories. Cheers!!

Must do! - Host didn’t respond to Viator, so used WhatsApp. Once we got situated, everything was amazing…aside the choppy waters! We were able to do most of our bucket list items, except Blue Grotto because of the waves (we’ll just have to cone back!). We had ample time for swims, pictures, literally driving into the caves…it was a fantastic day!

Capri, visit and enjoy an amazing time! - An amazing experience! From the booking process with Alessandro to him meeting us at the pier and introducing to our captain Stefano. Stefano showed us the highlights of Capri and let us go on our time, whether it was swimming in blue waters where you could see to the bottom or stopping in caves where the water was a light green ( the teens loved the photo opportunities) Also had proseco for the wives, beer for the men and water and soda for the kids. Highly recommend, an all-around amazing day!

An Unforgettable Experience – A Highlight of Our Italy Trip! - I don’t usually write TripAdvisor reviews, but I had to make an exception for this experience. This was truly one of the most incredible days of our two-week trip to Italy. Everything about this boat ride was magical—from the first WhatsApp message organizing this trip to the moment we stepped off the boat.
We’ve taken boat rides in Amalfi, Positano, and Capr, but this was by far most authentic. The appreciation for local knowledge and genuine experience was amazing. In fact, it's one of the best experiences we’ve had in all our travels. Alessandro and Alfredo clearly love the island and are passionate about sharing it with visitors. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like more than just guests—they made us feel at home.
If you're visiting Capri, do not miss this. I can’t recommend this company enough

Capri couple’s honeymoon boat tour - We had a phenomenal time during our honeymoon. Francesco was our captain and showed us so much during our private tour around Capri, while telling us about the history, buildings, restaurants and grottos, etc. We opted to start earlier in the day (9 AM) before the traffic gets heavier on the water and in the port. We would highly recommend for a couple or small group who wants a more authentic experience.
