Mario provided the BEST experience for my fiancé and I on the tour. He took us to the best spots, gave detailed explanations and got some amazing photos of us. We had breathe taking views and a lifetime experience. Would highly recommend if you’re in Capri. Truly enjoyed this experience with uninterrupted time!

Good, Should Have Been Great

Lee_P, Nov 2023

Family really enjoyed the boat ride, despite getting boat sick towards the end. Boat captain made a couple of stops for swimming, and tried his best to tell us about landmarks on the island. Was a nice man overall and took pictures for us. Plenty of refreshment options. Huge callout, however, was that we never visited any of the actual grottos! He noted the Blue Grotto as we passed by, but stated there was a line and we may not have enough time. When I mentioned the other grottas, however, he seemed confused and did not give a clear answer as to why we could not stop at them. I email Customer Service about this and they could not provide an explanation either, other than possibly the weather (which was not the issue). So overall, a good experience, but the grotto piece is promoted heavily and shouldn't be an afterthought. My recommendation is to communicate to the agent that greets you when you arrive that this is important to you, so he/she can make sure it is clear to the boat captain (especially as there may be a language barrier).

Well Worth The Money!!

Diana_R, Oct 2023

We LOVED our tour! The tide was high and the sea was a bit rough that day so we were unable to go into the blue grotto. We were so disappointed but our guide showed us the other grottos along with many details about the island. He was so kind and was an awesome tour guide! We would highly recommend this tour - it was worth the money!!

Great time!

Diane_H, Oct 2023

It was a beautiful day and it was so fun to be able to stop and swim for a little. We loved going up the entrance of two of the grottos. The blue grotto was closed.

Donna_M, Oct 2023

A great way to see the island. The views from the water are amazing with interesting information provided. Highly recommend.

Worth it!

Ally_L, Oct 2023

Two hours fly by on the boat around Capri! We had a great trip, going around the island and seeing the blue grotto. It was peaceful just the 4 of us, definitely worth the extra $$ to go private. You also get closer to the Blue Grotto and get in more quickly being on a smaller boat.

The best tour!

Ashleigh_C, Oct 2023

Wow!!! The highlight of our time in Capri! He took pictures for us and knew all the great spots! Best way to capture the beauty of the island. High recommend.

AWESOME experience!!

LeeAnn_A, Oct 2023

We had an absolute blast on this tour with Ciro!! He showed us all the best locations and grottos and even took pictures of us at each stop along the way. It was completely private and my mom and I were able to have an amazing experience celebrating her birthday! I would 100% recommend and this would also be lovely for couples too. 12/10!!!

Beautiful Capri!

Shahida_H, Sep 2023

Thank u Alessia for greeting us and showing us around. Enzo was great and showed us around Capri with some facts and information and a stop to swim in the beautiful ocean too! He helped with photos etc too.. My only comment would be to have more drinks available (even if some options are chargeable, I think it would be ok).

Darren_B, Sep 2023

Boat was lovely , and we had a nice time , but our service from the skipper was really poor, didn’t feel welcome at all. Hardly spoke to us

Wow

Ashley_M, Sep 2023

Amazing!! We had such a great time, we are on our honeymoon and it was a perfect fun day. The views were amazing and jumping in the green groto was the best part. The water was so beautiful. Our tour guide was amazing, showed/explained to us what everything was, and he was also very fun to spend the 2 hours with. He met us connect our music and was singing with us. When it was time to jump into water he gave us noodles and towels when we got out. I would 10/10 recommend this and easily do it again.

Excellent tour!

Bret_C, Sep 2023

Excellent tour of Capri with an outgoing guide who explained all the sites as we passed them and close up views of all the grottos! It was just my wife and I on the boat and it was wonderful!

Very exclusive feeling experience

Dan_W, Sep 2023

The boat was so comfortable and our driver, Antonio, was gracious and knowledgeable of the area. We had a memorable time and would definitely do it again!

Great private boat tour of Capri

Jordan_L, Sep 2023

The trip was excellent. Booked the same day and the operator Mr. Constanzo was prompt about reaching out and confirming our reservation and pick up point. Giorgio was our captain and was knowledgeable about the island, took us to see a ton of sights, and was great about taking pictures for us especially when we swam in the grotto!

Stunning!!

Carlie_P, Sep 2023

Absolutely wonderful experience!! Especially our swim in the green cave 🥰 it made our daughters 21st birthday extra special!!

The best date with your loved one

Anastasia_B, Sep 2023

The best date we’ve ever had!!! Our driver was very generous and gave us Prosecco and we had an amazing experience overall, the weather was perfect, not too hot not too cold, definitely doing this again next time for 4 hours

Private Boat Tour around Capri Island

Karlie_M, Sep 2023

I arranged this private boat tour around Capri Island for my husband and me. The company contacted me the night before to reconfirm and provide the meeting location for the check-in point. They were organized, and the boat ride started on time. Our captain/guide was friendly, took our photographs as requested, and provided information about the island as we went around each highlighted spot. The only negative was that the boat ride ended about 15 minutes before I paid for the allotted timeslot. I didn't realize this until we were off the boat. I feel I should receive a small refund for not receiving my full boat tour as paid for.

Don't hesitate - just book it. You won't regret it.

Georgiana_D, Sep 2023

This was a really great private excursion. We have visited Capri previously and wanted to see the Island by boat. This tour was a perfect escape from the crowds and a fabulous way to see the beauty of Capri. Captain David was very knowledgable and made the trip very enjoyable. The communication with the organizers was excellent and we easily found the meeting spot. Thanks to Alessia and David.

Caroline_B, Sep 2023

Our skipper Chilo!!!! Highly recommend. Couldn’t get off of the main land of Capri fast enough. The best way to see Capri is on a boat away from people hands down.

Worth the money !!

jlleong71, Sep 2023

Definitely worth the price for the private boat, the captain Ciro was great and accommodating. One suggestion would be that they include a water or basic drink.

The most memorable trip ever

Alisha_G, Sep 2023

We had the most amazing and unforgettable time during this private boat tour by Mr Costanzo. He gave us tour of the beautiful coast of Capri Island and also told us about the history of its important atttactions. Moreover, an experience to cherish forerver. Will 1000% recommend using Mr Costanzo to everyone who wants to do a private boat tour of Capri!!
