Head through the Tyrrhenian Sea, passing alongside the scenic fishing village of Marina Grande and Bagni Regina Giovanna, an ancient Roman villa. Continue your journey past the Faraglioni, sea stacks that were first documented in Homer's Odyssey before making your way to Capri, where you'll have time to explore independently.

We had a great experience with our guide Elena and driver Lucca. The boat was spacious enough for 8 passengers and we enjoyed all the stops along the way in Capri. Would highly recommend booking this boat trip to Capri while in Italy. Great way to spend a day!!

THE BEST!

Jordan_V, Jan 2024

THE BEST! My boyfriend and I did this tour in August 2023. We were greeted at our meeting point and all split into groups, we were lucky enough to be a small group with only two women who were amazing!! We enjoyed Capri but enjoyed being on the boat even more. Our captain and host we incredibly inviting, they made sure we had the best time, took us to the perfect swimming spots and kept our drinks full. Made the best memories, new friends and can’t wait to do it again the next time we’re in Italy. Don’t hesitate to book this tour, I’m convinced this is the best company providing this service. Worth every single penny! Thank you MBS Blu Charter, Francesca and our captain!

The only way to visit Capri

Daniel_C, Nov 2023

We had fantastic weather and the crew Rafael and Salvadore were outstanding professional, excellent boat handlers and personable. We would highly recommend

Staff was wonderful, company bad about refunds

Forrest_D, Oct 2023

Would like to give the staff and boat trip 5 stars, they were absolutely amazing. Our trip date was changed though due to weather and we were told we would be refunded 4 people out of 8 due to half our group being unable to go in changed date. We were reassured this multiple days before but when we requested the refund it was denied and no response multiple times from the company.

A day on the Blue Toy

Margie_V, Oct 2023

A perfect day in all ways! Captain Sebastiano and 1st mate Renato were first class. Weather was perfect and we were able to see all the grottos and had a great time exploring Capri.

No blue grotto

Alexandra_S, Oct 2023

The good: the captain and first mate were fantastic. Great personalities and made it fun The bad: they do NOT take you to the blue grotto. This is important for customers to know as this was one of the main reasons we took the tour. We came back to Capri the next day to do it, and it was closed. Very upsetting.

Perfect day!

Cammy_H, Oct 2023

What an amazing day! Everything was perfect. Wow, I wish I could go again. Our captain and his son were amazing.

Beautiful boat tour

Noelle_L, Oct 2023

Our boat tour to Capri was phenomenal. Sebastiano and Renato were very informative, they showed us many grottos and gave recommendations on where to eat while on the island. After a few hours of exploring the island, we swam off of the boat for about half an hour, but could have swam longer if we returned to the boat earlier. There were 12 people total on the boat but there was plenty of space for everyone. Overall, a wonderful experience, worth every penny.

Fabulous tour with a mix of everything!

Cyndi_T, Oct 2023

Everything was meticulously organized, on time and sooo much fun! Alessandro was our guide and Sergio , our captain. They were wonderful! The drinks, snacks and wine flowed easily. The picture perfect day and boat ride while viewing the most magnificent sea and scenery is not to be missed. The blue grotto was gorgeous but a bit of a ripoff at $18. pp for literally 6 minutes tops. when the rowers of the small boat into the grotto suggested $10 pp for a tip I felt it was extremely tacky and i did not comply. Capri is beautiful but very pricy so be prepared! overall, we had a fabulous day and i would highly recommend this tour!

Great Boat Trip - Sorrento to Capri!

hayley_n, Oct 2023

Best experience in Sorrento

Denise_G, Oct 2023

We had a wonderful day with Ronaldo and Captain Sebastiano. The views were stunning, the boat was beautiful with plenty of room for everyone (there were 12 on board). We toasted newlyweds with Prosecco, had fresh fruit, listened to great music, met some cool people and spent a few hours on our own in Capri. We were even lucky enough to go inside the blue grotto while our Italian guide in the rowboat was serenading everyone. Ronaldo and Sebastiano couldn’t have been kinder or more accommodating. We had a great day!! Highly recommend

100% recommend!

Sydney_D, Oct 2023

Sebastiano and his son were fantastic! They were so welcoming and made sure the need of every passenger was met. They were both knowledgeable about history of the local areas and exceeded our expectations. The tour was flexible and catered to what the group wanted to see. Our group is in our mid 20’s and they made sure to keep the vibe upbeat while also ensuring older guests felt comfortable. Drinks and fresh cut fruit were severed throughout the tour. We hit every major attraction and they made the Blue Grotto experience seamless. A must see tour! 100% recommend!

Capri Boat tour

Rachel_N, Oct 2023

Our crew was awesome, thank you so much for taking of us. We had a great day! The boat was clean and nice, provided snacks and water :)

Wonderful time seeing the island of capri from the water and land

Erin_B, Sep 2023

The tour around the entire island of capri was so beautiful and fun. The captain did a great job making sure everyone was comfortable and happy and stopping to swim was a highlight. The island of capri was very crowded but still great for a quick visit. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic day on the water around Capri

Mykel_D, Sep 2023

The Captain (Flavio) of our boat was fantastic. Extremely skilled, knowledgeable, and a nice, genuine guy. We we're unable to go into the blue grotto due to weather, but we went swimming twice, including snorkeling which was picture perfect. The water was warm and very clear. Capri town is pretty but it's insanely busy. We had 3hours which was enough for the main town, but not to get to Anacapri and do the chairlift. You would have to do 1 or the other, and if you choose Anacapri/chairlift, you'll have to pre-book a bus or transfer service.

Beautiful and Fun Day

Delaine_R, Sep 2023

This was such a fun and beautiful day! Our captain and our tour guide (Pasquale) were so much fun! Highly recommend this tour.

Overpriced and Glorified Ferry Service!

Elizabeth_W, Sep 2023

I really regret booking this. Extremely overpriced. Basically a glorified ferry service. There was nothing special about it at all. I was really disappointed that there was absolutely no info provided by your operators about Capri or anything we were seeing, especially for the cost. We were just aimlessly dropped off and picked up at Capri. Also really disappointed we only stopped to swim for literally less than 10 minutes, as I was really looking forward to that. The grottos were closed the day I went, which isn’t their fault, but it made the tour even worse. I was really underwhelmed by this. During my 2 weeks in Europe, this has been my least favorite activity. Choose another company.

Excellent

Leigh_D, Sep 2023

We had a great day under very trying conditions. Francesco did a great job and looked after us extremely well. Highly recommend.

Great full day experience

Lisa_K, Sep 2023

The caption and second mate were very entertaining during out outing. Lots of history, laughter and good times. Especially loved the blue grotto. Swim time was a beautiful experience.

Perfect day in Capri!

James_N, Sep 2023

What a fantastic day! Our tour guides were amazing!! They were so much fun! A great way to spend the day. Perfect mix of time on the island and on water!

Great time on the boat! The highlight of our trip!

Melissa_P, Sep 2023

We loved our day on the boat and the tour around Capri. We were able to see some cool spots and they even made sure that we got to experience the blue grotto. They were experts!!! Pasquale and the captain were awesome! Pasquale made sure we had a great time and was very entertaining! I would highly recommend it to others and would do it again!
