Best boat tour in Italy - If you are looking to do any type of boat tour, these ARE your people!! All the people in this company are kind and go above and beyond to help you! Everything is extremely organized and well planned. On the boat we had an amazing time thanks to the captain and mate. They explained the importance of what was around us, gave us tips for restaurants, and catered the trip to our needs! Truly they are such kind people and they made the experience fun!

Great day to Capri - The entire excursion was a great experience. Definite highlight to our trip to Amalfi Coast. Would definitely recommend. We enjoyed traveling around the island of Capri. The scenery is beautiful. Unfortunately we couldn’t get into the blue grotto because of ocean conditions. The time on the island of Capri was great as well. Luigi our guide gave excellent suggestions of things to do with our time on the island. We loved the opportunity to swim in the water off the boat. We were so impressed with the captain she did such a great job! Luigi (the younger one) did an amazing job making us comfortable on board and providing information about Capri and the surrounding coast. Would highly recommend this tour.

Capri is a must! - Great time on our boat trip to Capri from Sorrento. They let us swim twice and explained everything about Capri, and made navigating the island super easy. Capri is crowded but once you get to the peaks it is not so bad. Roberto and Caroline were amazing duo!

Amazing day swimming and making memories - We’ve had the best time today with Roberto and Caroline thank you so much. 2 beautiful swim stops which we were so grateful for. Blue grotto…we gave that a miss…we would have melted waiting in the queue! Instead we had 3 hours on the island of Capri which was perfect. Caroline got us on the local bus which goes between the port, Anacapri and Capri for €20 per person. We did the ski lift at Anacapri which was fabulous - such great views. It’s €14 for a return trip and it takes 13 minutes each way. From there we did a lunch stop in Anacapri then took the bus to Capri (so much busier than Anacapri) and then bus back to the port. We had soft drinks, beer, fresh fruit and limoncello spritz. Thank you so much for such a fabulous day making memories

Wonderful excursion - Nello our captain was fantastic! Pick up process was straightforward and convenient from Sorrento. The boat ride was beautiful to capri and Nello had water/soda/beer to drink on the way. Dropped us off at the marina piccola in Capri and we enjoyed 3 hours on the island. It was a short time but enough to see one or two things, would definitely recommend staying in Capri for 1-2 days to fully experience Capri/Anacapri. Then we were picked up and allowed to swim which was lovely, and then taken around the island. There was too long of a line to see the blue grotto, to do that you need to stay on the island and get in line there early in person, or get a boat tour from Capri that leaves very early (Capri just changed the rules about which boats get priority access to the blue grotto). After going around capri we then headed back to Sorrento. We had a great time getting to know the others on the boat as well. It was a lovely experience!

Capri day - The skipper and Marco were very friendly and made our day special on board, only down side was that we had to wait 40 minutes because other families were late arriving at the port.
