From Marina Grande, you circle Capri by boat with an Italian and English speaking captain, passing the Faraglioni, Casa Malaparte, sea caves, lighthouse, and Blue Grotto. The grotto requires a separate wooden rowboat and €18 fee, with access shaped by weather and waiting times.

“Unfortunately the Blue Grotto was not open so we only went as far as the Faraglioni Rocks before heading back to the Marina. That said the coastline is beautiful and it was still worth doing this trip.”

“Luisa and “bad boy” captain Jack were fantastic! Despite some choppy conditions, we still had a great time, and we were given more time to swim on the calmer side of the island. We had drinks and some snacks provided, and finished with some home-made limoncello. If you’re visiting Capri I definitely recommend this tour!!”

“This was a great affordable tour to see the island. We had fun and saw lots of beautiful things. I will say it was a value tour, not as luxurious as others. We climbed aboard the boat as the other people climbed off. I had to wipe the seats of their sweat and the guide literally rinsed the other groups dirty wine glasses in the ocean and then expected us to drink wine from them which we were grossed out by and he was offended we were hesitant. He did let our 9 yr old drive the boat for a few minutes which he thought was so cool :) All…”

Circle Capri by private boat with captains such as Stefano, Luigi, or Paolo. Choose a 2 to 6 hour outing, stop to swim, see the Faraglioni and sea caves, and possibly enter the Blue Grotto. Towels, goggles, cushions, shade, water, and soft drinks are included.

“I’m a seasoned traveler and use Viator extensively — in fact, I used it daily over a 10+ day trip through Italy with no issues… until this tour. What was promised was a beautiful, authentic wooden boat — something I specifically chose for my wife and two young children (7 and 9). What showed up was a fake, unsafe-looking “junk boat” that looked nothing like the listing. When I asked why we weren’t getting the wooden boat advertised, the captain (who claimed to be the owner) told me, “You don’t get to choose the boat. The pictures are just stock images we upload. I pick what you get.” He then…”

“I don’t even know where to begin my review. From start to finish, Gennaro was the most accommodating, entertaining, knowledgeable captain. We had so much fun with him. The laughs were endless. The experience was just a dream. My son (he’s 9) always said he would get married in Italy. During the excursion, he turns to me and says, “I will invite Gennaro to my wedding!” 😂😂😂 I can’t say enough about him. Would highly recommend. And would only recommend this tour company.”
