About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ijorgealvarez0 contributionsAmazing Day & Value for the Experience!I was hesitant to book this experience because of the cost but wow, this was an experience that was 100% worth it in my book! I’m not big on shopping so I booked this purely for the boat ride, adventures on the island like the chair lift, and to see the beautiful landscapes and loved every bit of it. It was relaxing, they served you wine, even gave us a mozzarella and tomato sandwich, and showed us all around the different caves of the island. Fulvio, our captain, was also very welcoming and an incredible driver. I will say, you should note that you will have to pay about €18/per person + tip to enter the Blue Grotto, €20/per person for the shuttle on the island of Capri, and €15/per person for the chair lift so prepare to spend a bit more in addition to the actual cost of this.Written 25 March 2025
- cophytrixy0 contributionsA lovely day on CapriFederico captained our small group from Sorrento to Capri and back. We had a lovely trip. He made sure we knew all the important details, and some fun facts, about the sea and the Island. Although we were three separate couples when we boarded Federico made sure we all enjoyed our time on the boat. Definitely a day well spent.Written 19 March 2025
- abigailsT4198EL0 contributionsBest day of our trip so far!!Frederico was our captain and guide after his teammate was sick and he did not disappoint! He managed to do both just fine. He was informative, fun, and a great guide. The views were stunning and seeing Capri during the offseason proved to be worth it. The tour itself was the perfect length, we got to see everything, and it went smoothly even though the Blue Grotto was too choppy to enter (which just gave us more quality time on Capri).Written 17 March 2025
- W7988EOlaurieh0 contributionsFavorite part of ItalyWe were in Italy, in March to visit our daughter studying abroad. During our research we came across this private boat tour leaving out of Sorrento & It didn't disappoint! We choose to go around Capri Island. Captain Federico spoke English, very knowable, and was a fabulous host. Our biggest highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!!Written 10 March 2025
- jolenegall65110 contributionsAwesome trip!This trip was AWESOME! There were only 7 of us on the boat. Gegorio was a very knowledgeable and very considerate/kind driver and guide. He took us around the whole island and gave us plenty of free time. You can take the bus or a taxi to the towns of Capri and Anacapri. Make sure to have 10 euro for the fee when you check in and money for bus or taxi. They gave us a very tasty sandwich and drinks. We also did a Limoncello shot! I highly recommend this tour. Much better than taking the big ferry. BEAUTIFUL!!!Written 7 March 2025

- Camper596678117490 contributions11/10 IF I COULDThis was one of the best experiences my friends and I have had. We are 6 Americans studying abroad in Spain and chose to visit Sorrento for our spring break. We booked the first day of the season and ended up getting a private tour. The captain and the assistant were AMAZING. The captain asked us every time if we wanted the boat to stop for us to go swimming and gave us a history lesson of every single cave. We didn't have lunch since we planned to get it at Capri but, the assistant surprised us with wonderful sandwiches. They even helped us get private transportation on the island. 10/10 would recommended to anybody especially those who want to do something a bit more spontaneous.Written 2 March 2025
- Q9781PMkiml0 contributionsA full day taking in the Amalfi coast.Federico was an excellent captain for the day. The trip was fantastic. We enjoyed a full day along the coast and into Amalfi. We even managed to stop and have an hours chill time in a sunny cove where we swam in the sea. Federico was very known and accommodating to us. We had endless Prosecco and snacks as well. Would 100% recommend this trip.Written 27 February 2025
- Road193509783500 contributionsAmalfi Coast Day TripThe staff of "you know" made seeing the Amalfi Coast a great experience. Our group was picked up in Sorrento and taken to the port where we were greeted by Frederico, our skipper. He took our group on an all day excursion in which we saw many scenic places. Frederico shared the history and legends of these sites. We ported in Amalfi and had a wonderful time shopping and snacking. We capped our time in Nerano, at a restaurant that Frederico recommended called il Cantuccio. The food and staff were exceptional. I highly recommend this excursion as a scenic and relaxing way to see the Amalfi Coast.Written 18 February 2025
- Mttdgls0 contributionsFebruary boat tourAmazing trip with Federico! Showed us all the amazing sites, and we had the sea to ourselves. Even anchored for a bit and had a swim. 10/10Written 12 February 2025
- MeganG7730 contributionsPrivate Winter Day Trip to CapriFederico was our captain for the day. We were so lucky to be able to take the boat tour from Sorrento on the second day of January. He picked us up the port and was able to help our mom with limited mobility due to her knee replacement get on the boat very easily. We had the entire boat to ourselves for our day trip to Capri. The captain taught us so much about the culture and history of Sorrento & Capri. His love for his country and boating comes through in all he does on the boat for the guests. He offered us snacks, champagne, and other soft drinks while we were on board, which was nice as we went to Capri. We were dropped off in Capri where we had several hours to walk around taking the and taking lunch. It truly was a beautiful day. I can’t recommend this company enough for the professionalism And experience overall. We will be back soon.❤️Written 3 January 2025
- Chris H0 contributionsGreat views, cuisine and shopping. All the ingredients for a relaxing Italian holiday.This was our first visit to Capri and we were pleasantly surprised by some of the unique features in this town. Narrow streets with no cars. Only electric vehicles that are about a meter wide. A Funicular gets you there from the ferry docks and the cobblestone streets are lined with shops, restaurants and beautiful hotels. Also, make sure you visit Ana Capri as well for it has more affordable shopping and a different vibe than Capri.Written 29 December 2024
- alanisig0 contributionsFunOur guide was Ursula. She was fantastic. We toured Capri and Anacapri from I think sorrento. Pickup was included from positano. Everything went smoothly.Written 27 December 2024

Francesca and Niello were amazing!! While the weather was not the greatest, they did not let that get in the way of having a good time. The boat was clean and comfortable. Niello had command of this this vessel and this made the guests feel comfortable. Francesca is delightful, with a warm and friendly personality. From the check in, to the on boarding everything was exceptional. The sandwiches, snacks, drinks and good company made this day even more perfect. The only way to see Amalfi and Positano is from the water.
I would suggest maybe a headset for the passengers. Then you could actually hear the narrative over the wind and boat noise.

Dear juliecJ3948TK,
We are so grateful to read these beautiful words about our tour and for the time you spent writing them.
We are proud to read that your day on board has been exciting: the Amalfi coast is certainly one of the most beautiful destinations by sea, and a boat tour is the best way to visit it!
Thank you also for the acknowledgement of the skills of the skipper Nello and the guide Francesca and for recommending our boat tour to Capri island to other users of TripAdvisor.
We look forward to welcoming you back on board our boats, maybe during your next trip to Italy.
Then we'll wait for you... Many thanks and Arrivederci!

I could write a book about all the pros of this tour. I have had my share of somewhat bad tours so I always keep normal expectations but this tour was probably, if not the best, one of the bests I have ever taken.
With the Italian coast as background, the part of "bad scenery" is not possible. Beauty is assured. There are possibly two things that can leave you with a bad impression after a tour: feeling rushed by the guides and poor communication/"bad service". This was NOT AT ALL the case.
Francesca and Nello made everything to make sure we had an amazing time. I rarely take the time to give reviews being really honest but this tour, and these guys, really deserve a 5 out of 5 stars.

The only reason for a four and not a five was the transportation to and from the boat from Naples. I had the impression it was 30 minutes but it was an hour. Communication on transport to boat was not good. Once we got to the boat it was fantastic. Anna and Captain Luka were great and took good Castel off us. Nothing like speeding along the Amalfi coast enjoying the views. Luka was very skillful getting us into and away from each stop which is a crazy ballet with skillful boat captains. On the way back we made a number of interesting stops (staying on boat) to look at interesting rock and archeological features. We got into water twice.

What an adventure. From morning to evening, the time at sea was absolutely magical. Special thanks to our guide Luca, who knew everything about the sea and the places we passed. A genuine and beautiful person who did everything to make the trip something real and personal. The stops in Amalfi and Positano were a little rushed, but the time on the sea was much more important anyway. The sunset while riding the waves on the boat is something I will close my eyes and dream about for a long time. Sincerely thank you.

Francesca and Nello were amazing guides and we really enjoyed our trip! The bus pick up location in Naples was very central and walking distance from our hotel in Centro Storico. The bus ride took approximately one hour to Sorrento where we were joined with a larger group that was divided up into smaller groups for the boats.
Once on the boat, Francesca and Nello stopped past several novel spots, we stopped for swimming twice, and briefly went into a cave. The stops to Positano and Amalfi were well timed, enough for us to walk around and have a quick lunch/coffee. On the boat we were offered wine/drinks, crisps, a caprese sandwich, and a treat of Prosecco, limoncello, and a sweet treat. Overall we were pleased with the day and feel like we got a good value for money.

This one of the best Excursions I have taken from tour group. I tried leaving a 5STAR few times from my phone but had issues once I loaded photos to get it up load and keep them to go to the next step. But other than review techincal issues. Our stewardess Keka was fabulous and made us snacks and offer drinks regularly. Keka was great with the history of the isalnd and reminded us of our daughter. She was fun and freindly and spoke 4 languages. The Captain Nino was great as well and did a great job watching the front if the waves got too high he would slow down, He gave us 3 water play stops and did a great job navigating us to the Amalfi Coast and Positano. Like I said this was one the most relaxing and fun trips we planned. Nino & Keka treated us so well. We had champagne twice and a speciality brownie cake from Sorrento. The boat was clean and well equipped for the trip and just so much fun!!
If you take this tour book Captain Nino and Keka!! They are the best

Took the small group tour with coordinated transportation from Naples to Sorento and boat tour to Amalfi and Positano. I spent the most on this excursion and it was worth every penny.
Finding your guide for the beginning of the tour was challenging. This very typical for what I’ve experienced in Italy. I would love to see them have a large sign or definite/well defined meeting spot (e.g. meet by the bus with the orange cone). Coordination of the trip back to our starting point was well executed.
We had amazing views of the coast (these places are easier to access via boat - roads will take you hours and result in lost time for experiences). Loved spending time in each town, but really shopping or eating is kinda the modus opera da here. I skipped eating and did a little shopping. Both small towns were very crowded and I was happier on the boat. If you are looking for linen clothes - this has a fairly big selection.
The boat and our hosts (Luisa and Gabry) were excellent. They were lovely, informative, and accommodating. The following was provided (in addition to the aforementioned): white wine, red wine, Prosecco, tomato/mozzarella sandwich, fruit cup, and a small dessert. They played music during the ride - which enhanced the experience.
We also saw places that are accessible only by boat. Niche swimming holes the green grotto were highlights.
10/10 would book this trip again. Spend the extra money for an experience without crowds. Well worth it.

The trip was a highlight of our time in Italy. The crew were fun, knowledgeable, entertaining, catered to our needs, and let us determine what we did and for how long (within reason).
I would suggest this tour to anyone who wants an amazing view of and time on the coast. The other visitors on board were fabulous, we stopped at a beachside restaurant for lunch, went swimming, and had an all around awesome time.
If we are lucky enough to go back, we’ll do this trip again. Francesca made a fabulous trip!

This tour was incredible. Our guide on the boat, Yana, was amazing. She was highly knowledgeable about all the cities/islands and attractions. Her and the captain pepino were very kind and self aware. When we arrived at a destination they would twist the boat around to show the people sitting at front and people sitting at the back. There was numerous snacks and drinks provided. They also provided personal recommendations for each city (best attractions/restaurants). Yana and Pepino gave us multiple opportunities to swim which was gorgeous. I would highly recommend this trip, especially with Yana and Pepino! Thank you.
