Highlights
  • Sailing Sorrento Coast - Departing from the Port of Sorrento, we will sail along the Sorrento coastline
  • Marina Grande - Antico Borgo Marinaro - We will see the charming fishing village of Marina Grande from the sea
  • Bagni Regina Giovanna - We will see, from the sea, an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC.
  • Blue Grotto - This tour will allow you to visit the Blue Grotto as soon as you arrive on Capri, thus avoiding waiting times.
    The visit is subject to the weather/sea conditions.
  • White Grotta - Once arrived, you can admire, among the white limestone rocks, the strong contrast between the light of the cave and the blue of the sea, making this place surreal also thanks to the thick and suggestive stalactites and stalagmites.
  • Punta Carena Lighthouse - We will admire one of the oldest lighthouses in Italy and from which you can see the ancient path of the Bourbon forts.
  • Green Grotta - The Green Grotto, classified by speleologists as secondary (i.e. produced, due to destructive phenomena, after the formation of the mother rock), is composed of the oldest sedimentary rock on Capri, dolomite.
  • Island of Capri - Disembarkation on the island to allow you visiting Capri’s main attractions: the main square called La Piazzetta, Via Camerelle (Capri’s most famous street for shopping in international brand shops) and the Augustus Gardens.

Tour guide Lucio and... - Tour guide Lucio and Captain Ciro were absolutely amazing! Best way to see Capri is by boat! Even if you do not get to go into the Blue Grotto due to safety conditions, this trip is well worth it!

Best day in our 15 day trip to Italy! - Best day of our 15 days in Italy!! Our captains Alessandro and Captain Watermelon made it a day to remember. We had fun exploring the caves, seeing the island of Capri and Ana Capri and swimming in the beautiful Mediterranean. The music was amazing and the energy was exciting the whole time! Unfortunately, when we arrived at The Blue Grotto it was closed due to the high waters so we couldn’t enter, but we got extra swimming time and made the most out of it! Highly recommend!

Recommend! - We had an amazing time! The Blue Grotto was closed for our trip which was a bit of a bummer but soon forgotten with all the fun we had. We had a great time with Luigi and Victor, they made the trip even more enjoyable and memorable! So glad they were our guides!

Best day ever! - Absolutely fantastic day, our favourite day spent in Italy so far. The host Alessandro couldn't have made the trip any more fun, the captain Sergio was also brilliant. I had a bit of sea sickness on the way to capri but Alessandro kindly wrote down the name of the tablets I needed to buy on capri to help with this on the trip back. Capri is absolutely breathtaking, so stunning. We were provided with prosecco and beer and they kept us topped up throughout. I would 100% recommend this trip, thank you for a fantastic day!

Capri is amazing even in a storm - We had bad weather but made the best of it. No blue grotto (due to the weather)which is why I specifically booked this tour. Our captain and deckhand were very kind and informative.

Misleading Grotto and Capri tour without the main feature Grotto and no fine print noting possibility of not entering!! - Misleading tour! I have arranged many tours via trip advisor and this was the worst! Blue grotto is a feature attraction of this tour and we did not do it. The boat operator gave some poor excuse about it being high tide. The tour advertised did not mention anything about possibility of not experiencing the grotto. The ad just notes bad weather may mean tour is cancelled and we get a refund. We were not offered a refund at all. Snorkelling was also part of our tour. In the afternoon we stopped at an area. I asked the deck hand if there were fish in the snorkelling area as you would expect and he said yes. It was in fact an open ocean with nothing to look at but extremely deep water. I asked the Captain about the fish and she said there definitely aren’t any fish in that area. This was not what the deck hand had assured me of. All we actually did was mediocre swimming in the ocean, certainly not snorkelling! Prosecco was included as part of the tour. I asked for a glass after a couple hours of the tour starting and the deck hand said we had to wait until the very end of the day. Again, the ad did not clarify it was only available at a certain time. Deck hand played Arabic music. Does not make sense when we are in beautiful Capri and Sorrento. We also weren’t aware that the boat drops us off at Capri and then as a family we spent an additional 200 euro just to get around the island. Choose a more reputable company!!!
