Capri Blue Grotto Small-Group Boat Day Tour From Sorrento

2.Capri Blue Grotto Small-Group Boat Day Tour From Sorrento

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,511 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $131

Join a small boat from Sorrento with up to 12 people, guided by a professional skipper such as Flavio, Agatha, or Alessandro. Visit the Blue Grotto early, circle Capri’s grottos and Faraglioni, enjoy drinks and fruit, then spend three hours exploring the island before swimming back toward Sorrento.

“Overpriced. The crew was very nice and helpful. The circumstances were not their fault. Did not get into the Blue Grotto due to rough seas. The whole reason for booking this excursion was to go into the Blue Grotto. I truly believe the best customer service would be to give a partial refund if the grotto is closed for the day. It was the most disappointing day. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and we paid a lot of money just to go to Capri and spend more money for lunch and a bit of souvenir shopping. Complete waste of a lot of money. I would not recommend this tour.”

Join MBS Blu Charter for a small-group speedboat trip from Sorrento to Capri. Guides such as Lucio, Agatha, Alessandro, and Raffaella share local stories, serve drinks and fruit, and help you make the most of swim stops, the Blue Grotto, and free time on the island.

“This was an unbelievable experience. Luciano and Dario were AMAZING!!!! We had two little kids with us (4 and 1.5 years old), and they were so friendly and accommodating. Capri was so busy- we tried to visit Anacapri, do the chair lift, and visit capri but it was too much. We recommend picking one or the other. Our favorite part was being on the boat with Luciano and Dario more than being on capri. And we loved the blue grotto! We will definitely do again!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,500 reviews · 8 hours · from $62Best value

Take an eight-hour boat trip from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi, with about two hours in Positano and two and a half in Amalfi. This is self-guided, organized boat transport rather than a narrated tour. Bring water, sun protection, and patience for busy ports.

“Excellent value for money. Even using the public "ferry" the journeys to each destination were good but busy, get there early to ensure the side (left) you need for the best view of the Sorrento coastline and entry to Positano and Amalfi.”

Salerno: Amalfi Coast Cruise with Lunch, Aperitif & Swimming

11.Amalfi Coast Cruise with Lunch, Aperitif & Swimming

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 879 reviews · 6 - 6.5 hours · from $88

Sail from Salerno Manfredi Port to Positano and back in six hours, with commentary in English or Italian, three swimming stops, local snacks, pasta lunch, and a welcome aperitif. This is a scenic boat day, not a shore-excursion tour, so you stay on board in Amalfi and Positano.

“Our family of 5 had a fantastic day out on the cruise. There were three swimming spots spaced out between a snack and lunch. The coast is beautiful! I’d recommend putting lots of sun cream on throughout the day and take some water.”

Spend about four hours on a small-group gozzo cruise from Amalfi or Positano. Your skipper, often Rafael, Raphael, Cristiano, or another crew member, takes you past sea caves, Furore, Praiano, and Positano, with two swim stops, snorkeling gear, fruit, prosecco, limoncello, beer, and soft drinks.
