A must attend! - Excellent trip - transfer dropped us right to the marina where we got checked in. Chiara (I hope that’s spelt right) was our guide - excellent, informative, funny and really good at her job. The boat had 7 people and compared to other tours we passed, it was a dream. Amazing scenery and spots to jump in for a quick swim. Highly recommend.

Stunning location, even better service - It was an incredible experience to see the grottos, red coral and rock formations by sea. We had the best time with Roberto and Salvatore who were so knowledgeable and fun.
Travelling with our toddler we were a bit nervous but they made us feel very safe.
Absolutely would recommend 👌

Great way to see amalfi coast - We did the half day boat trip around Capri Island, what a great day it was ! Tony and the captain were brilliant and very knowledgeable. Stopped twice to go swimming, the water was so warm and clear, would definitely recommend ! It was a little choppy in parts, so pending how your sea legs are might be worth taking some tablets prior but don’t let that put you off ! The mini bus picking us up in Sorrento was great.

Super Captain / Amazing coastline - Beautiful coastline, lots of opportunities to swim in the sea, and a great captain (Tony) who made us feel very relaxed and welcome on the boat.
Highly recommended.

Great day out at Capri, boatour around the island, swim, quick lunch and able to do the chairlift for a magnificent view - Hello
We had the best day, although initially disappointed we didn’t get to see the blue grotto, the replacement full day tour was awesome! Giovanni was a great host, loved the tour around the island and the swim. We were lucky enough to do the chairlift and lunch and be back in time for a quick drink before setting sail back to Sorrento. So we thank you for the alternative tour, both Scott and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. The guides and boat were more than we expected, so thank you. Kerry & Scott 🇦🇺

Just OK - Our tour consisted of 6 people on a fairly small personal boat. Our captain Salvator was an experienced navigator, without a doubt. His assistance for the tour was a 16-year-old young man named Franco. The captain did not speak English and Franco has fair but limited English. While they were both pleasant, Salvator was focused on navigating and Franco did his best to engage our small group, to the best a 16-year-old can do. We went past the grottos but there was apparently a 1 hour plus wait and did not go in. We did stop a few times for us to jump in the water, and we did. We were offered sodas, beer and water throughout the voyage but no food or snacks at all. A homemade limoncello was offered near the end of the voyage, one very small shot each. My rating is in consideration of the price of this tour. This is not a cheap excursion and would expect better service overall. While Franco did a great job for a 16-year-old, it is not the experience we paid for. I would recommend verifying the details of your tour before booking.

Not great! - We went on the boat trip on Monday 16th September 2024. Unfortunately, we found it very disappointing.
We were not informed at any point the trip was not from Sorrento port which was misleading.
The sea was very rough and whilst we understand it is ok for regular sailors it wasn’t great for ordinary people who occasionally take boat trips. No one on the boat felt comfortable to get off and swim as it was too rough. Both my husband and I have a number bruises from when the boat lurched suddenly and our bodies were impacted by the boat. Only some people on the trip had seats. We had to sit on the front of the boat hanging on the metal railings. We would have preferred to be given the option to cancel.
The cave we really wanted to see was the blue grotto which was closed. We suspect it is usually closed in the morning at this time of the year due to the tides. It would make more sense to schedule the trip for the afternoon. I realise it is not a guaranteed feature of the trip but the description feels misleading.
We usually only write positive reviews but we do feel strongly that this trip was misleading and expensive for what we did.
Over the years we have been on a couple of boat trips which were amazing. This one was not.
We requested a refund as this fell so far short of our expectations, but no one has had the curtesy to respond despite contacting the tour operator a couple of times.
