Awesome tour of Capri with Nico. He was born and raised on the island and educates you on the history of the island and the surroundings. Highly recommend him for the private boat tour as your captain. 5 Stars!!!

Fantastic choice!!

Olivia_W, Oct 2023

Definitely one of the best days of our trip to Italy. It was so nice to be on our our private boat compared to the packed group tours. We got to swim and Nico provided drinks and a stereo so we could play music. He was fantastic with communication before and had clear instructions for us to meet him. The boat was also fantastic. It looked impeccable! It was such a relaxing and beautiful day!

Private boat trip around Isle of Capri

Craig_F, Oct 2023

Relaxed half day around entire Isle of Capri. Plenty of time to soak in all the sights as well as have a swim in the sea. Nick was the perfect guide. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend

roula_h, Jun 2023

We had a great time on this tour. Nico, our captain, was very nice and handled the boat responsibly. He played music for us and offered us drinks. It was so relaxing having the boat exclusively for us. Well worth the price!!

Incredible

Jeff_S, Jun 2023

Nico our tour guide was very nice and did a great job. The tour had everything we wanted. Was promised lemoncello on description but did not happen

Fun time!

Alan_D, May 2023

Really the whole experience was great. The tour guys were fun and the boat very nice. I’ll be back. Capri is beautiful and you’ll never see a coast line like it.

Completely worth it, Nico is the best!

James_N, Nov 2022

Arguably one of the best experiences on our trip to the Amalfi Coast. Everything was organized easily by communicating through WhatsApp and Nico contacted us the day before to make sure we knew when and where to meet. After the private boat tour, I don't think I could do a group tour because it was just nice to have the privacy of relaxing on the boat for a little extra cost. Completely worth it. Nico took us to a little cove where we dove in and enjoyed the blue waters. We tried to go to the blue grotto, but the line to get in would've been 2 hours, so we decided to maximize our time touring the island and relaxing instead. The next time we come back to Capri, we will definitely give Nico a call and we've already recommended him to all our friends!

Amazing experience!

Christina_S, Oct 2022

Nico was fantastic! Incredible experience! He was very knowledgeable about the island and very accommodating! Have great recommendations on activities on the island and we had the most fabulous meal ever from one of his recommendations! We will be rebooking with Nico next time we visit Capri and would strongly recommend booking with him when you visit!

Great tour!

Kristen_C, Oct 2022

Giuseppe was a great tour guide! He contacted us prior to the tour and was very thorough on the meeting point. He was on time and gave us information on every stop on the tour. We had a great time and wold recommend this tour to our family and friends!

Nico was awesome! He had...

Brian_L, Oct 2022

Nico was awesome! He had great communication and tailored our trip due to sea conditions. He was very knowledgeable about Capri and we were very comfortable on his boat. It is clear that he enjoys his job and knows how to handle himself on the water. Would definitely recommend!

amazing tour

Ramona_M, Jul 2022

Amazing way to experience Capri. Nico took us to all the grottos and has a lot of knowledge about the island. Swimming was our favorite part!

Beautiful boat, great host, and spectacular views

Kyle_K, Jul 2022

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Nico for our boat cruise. He is very fluent in English and shared many things about the area with us. His boat is beautiful! He provided some snacks, towels, and noodles for swimming. Our only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. We will be sure to rebook with Nico in the future.

Go boat around Capri!

Suzanne_L, Jul 2022

We were in the Precious with Skipper Nico. Very friendly and beautiful views! nico also kept in touch with us via what’sapp and made sure we found our way.

Best experience in Capri!

Katelynn_M, Jul 2022

Awesome boat tour!! Our captain Nico, was excellent! He was very communicative leading up to the tour on where to meet and such. He knew a lot about the island and told us facts about grottos and places we stopped. He drove us around the whole island which was about 3 hours! I didn’t even realize it was a private tour which was amazing! We got to stop and swim twice in the beautiful sea! We got snorkels and a noodle too! You are able to stop at the blue grotto and go in but we decided against it because the lines are super long and we would of missed the whole tour! Luckily we saw the whole island and it’s beauty! Would definitely recommend booking with Nico and this boat tour!

Amazing experience

Cathy_M, Jun 2022

Nico was a great boat captain and took us to beautiful coves! He was timely and spoke excellent English!

AMAZING experience

Alexa_G, May 2022

We loved Nico! He was so kind and so quick to respond so that we could find him. You can tell he has a real appreciation for the beauty of Capri and the ride was so smooth! The sea was windy in the morning on our scheduled tour, so he pushed it back for us by 30 min and the weather ended up being gorgeous like he said it would be! AMAZING experience!

1000% recommend booking...

John_I, May 2022

1000% recommend booking the private boat tour with Nico. He keeps a very clean boat, provides a tour based on your interests, and he is very knowledgeable of Capri since his family has been there for generations. This boat tour was the highlight of our entire Italy trip. It’s worth every penny.

Awesome tour of Capri...

Dean_T, May 2022

A highlight of our trip - not to be missed!

Annette_D, May 2022

A perfect cruise on the water taking in the breathtaking sites of Capri! Nico is a fabulous captain and navigated us into the many grottos of the island. This is a fabulous way to experience Capri. There was even time for relaxing and swimming. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Capri!

Wonderful experience

John_H, Sep 2021

Clear information online, easy to book and coordinate. Loved our boat captain: he went to all the best places, was delightful in manner, perfect English! Well worth the cost, best value in Capri!

Amazing trip

Rhiannon_W, Sep 2021

Such a lovely trip! The boat was super nice, Nico was friendly and accommodating, and we went around the whole island in 3 hours. Not sure if the blue grotto tour is worth the money as its super short and you can't see all that much, but you could always choose not to do that and swim for a bit longer - probably a better shout in my opinion! Thanks Nico for the lovely day :)
