Fantastic Experience - The entire day was perfect. The bus to the boat was an air conditioned van that went along a scenic route, the boat captains and guide were fantastic. The boat was beautiful and only had 4 couples total on it. The tour started with going around the island, swimming and stopping in several little caves. The tour included unlimited drinks, a few snacks and a sandwich, dessert and limoncello. Once on the island the guide took us to a reccomended bus stop that took us to Anacapri and told us what time to get back on the bus to make it in time. In anacapri we went on a chair lift to the top of the island which was gorgeous. I reccomend doing some research on where to go in Anacapri, since we ended up going downhill for an hour and never finding a beach, followed by 1.5 hours back uphill. But the guides do give you a little booklet with location information which we forgot to use. Overall the boat tour was the best part of the experience, with the island just being more of a pit stop.

Excellent value for a wonderful day - We went on July 27th (aqua wristband) and had a wonderful time. The hosts were knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. The tour is very value driven for what you get for such a good price. The only downside, is that there was at least a 45 min drive to Sorrento to get to the boat, which we were unaware of. Besides that, we highly recommend! Grazie!!

Great Tour! - The crew was wonderful and attentive. We were able to get pictures and video of us going through the arch which was a highlight for us. The boat was comfortable and the drinks were good. The trip was exactly as described.

Gorgeous views on the real rugged ocean - Awesome staff. Gorgeous views. Yummy drinks. Chips are only good snack but you can eat on the island. Note if you are traveling as a group book as one group. I got out on a separate boat from my friends which wasn’t what I planned/couldn’t be changed unfortunately. Ocean can be rough, plan accordingly if you are prone to sea sickness.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - My mom and I traveled to Positano and we wanted to do a small group boat tour from Positano and could not have asked for a better day. Salvatore and Giuseppe were absolutely amazing. Both spoke very good English and they were great about telling us about all of the history as we got closer to Capri. They told us how to get around on Capri and what to do and what not to do. Our driver picked up from Positano right on time and then drove us back to Positano after we were done. No issues what so ever. They gave us Prosecco and beer and snacks when we stopped for swimming and offered to take pictures as well. 10000% percent worth the money. So happy we chose to do that instead of taking the ferry. We actually enjoyed the boat ride way more than we enjoyed Capri.

Great way to spend a day - Staying along the Amalfi coast, a boat trip to Capri is a fantastic way to spend a day. The staff were super friendly and arranged transportation to and from the port as well. They also provided some great insights as we sailed around and some entertainment too. Would recommend!

WOW WOW WOW! - Prior to my arrival to Italy the communication with the service was very clear and efficient. I was given very clear information and instructions for the tour and whenever I had questions they were answered very timely, even when I was on Miami time zone. Arriving to car pick up, Carmen our driver was extremely pleasant and quick with gathering our group from positano. My only negative is that the car ride had a lot of movement and winding roads and one of my friends got very sick. It would be helpful if a disclaimer was included so those who get carsick can prepare accordingly! At the dock, every team member was extremely helpful and kind. From the ticket booth to the small shop where we had breakfast, as well as it being very organized even with the amount of people and tours you have going in and out. The system you all have is great and seems like it works perfect. We waited very short amount of time, and were greeted by Rapha. On the boat, rapha gave us a lively tour full of personality. His English is spectacular and his Italian flair just made it even better. He is funny and friendly and also made sure we were all hydrated and tried to help us with any needs on board. Once we arrived to capri- rapha informed us of all the things we could do and clearly stated the time we needed to be back and made sure to communicate everything necessary for our group to find the marina when our time on the island was up. Leaving capri; there was a few issues it seemed with the coast guard where they were not permitting any boats to come in one by one, there was a large group of people all waiting for their tours in the heat which was unpleasant however ALL the boat tour employees and other employees who seemed to be in the area were helping us with giving any information they knew on what was going on. Once back on the boat rapha and Pepe had put waters in the fridge for us and made sure we got to cool down on the second half of our journey. I am extremely pleased with the entire experience even with the bumpy car ride and the issue at the marina. As I left I even thought “when can I come back on this boat tour I need to bring all my friends??!!” I’ve worked with boat charters in the US and your company blows us out of the water !! Thank you so much for the best experience I could have asked for to see the beautiful island of capri. Much love to you and your team and your passion and hospitality 🤍

Very misleading!! - I booked this trip initially believing that the boat tour leaves from Positano….it does not. The boat actually leaves an hour away from Positano. My group had expected that the boat would leave from the only place boats can leave from in Positano so that’s where we arrived at the given time. After messaging the guide we were made aware that in some fine print that it’s an hour long van ride to a different town. Nonetheless they did not wait for us and we never received a refund or a rebooking.
