"My husband and I took a private charter on our Honeymoon and it was the highlight of our 2 week trip!!! I was pleasantly surprised how communicative this company was and the day before our captain, Michele contacted us, ensuring we got out on the water early enough and picked us up! Throughout the tour he educated us on the history/structures on Capri, pointing out great picture spots AND took pictures/videos as well. He set up an incredible lunch for us at a restaurant that wasn’t packed on the water (incredible meal and view). When we ran late while purchasing an item on capri he didn’t make us feel rushed at all. The focus was on us the whole time and he made our trip absolutely amazing!!! At the end he gave us recommendations of restaurants/places nearby in Sorrento and Positano too. I couldn’t recommend this enough!! 10000/10 stars"

"This was such a beautiful experience. Raffaele was a perfect captain. We found him and his co-captain Enzo easily. He checked in on WhatsApp on the morning of our trip to assure everything was on schedule. The sea was a bit choppy but he Raffaele handled the boat with ease. Lemoncello was delicious, of course. Definitely take this tour. You will love it."

Frequently asked questions

How do I book a tour?

Send us your date, your group size and where you're staying — on WhatsApp, by email or with the form below. We reply quickly with availability and a quote for the whole boat. A deposit holds your date; the rest is paid on board.

What is included in the price?

Your private boat with an English-speaking local skipper, fuel and VAT, snorkelling gear, welcome prosecco, water and soft drinks, and towels. Not included: lunch ashore, island landing fees and grotto tickets, which are paid locally.

Can we rent a boat without a captain?

No. Every tour comes with a local skipper, so you don't need a licence or any boating experience: you swim and relax, and the skipper takes care of the boat.

What should I bring?

Just swimwear, sun cream, a hat and a light cover-up. Towels are provided — everything else is taken care of.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first: your skipper decides whether the sea is safe and may adjust the route. If the weather stops your tour, we offer you a new date or a refund of what you've paid.

How many guests can come aboard?

Every tour is fully private. Capacity depends on the boat — up to 6 guests on the Ranieri International 24, up to 8 on the Gozzo 26, up to 11 on the Gozzo 30 and up to 10 on the Apreamare Gozzo 35.

Where do the tours depart from?

From Marina Piccola in Sorrento, or from the Spiaggia Grande pier in Positano (see our tours from Positano). On request we can also start from Capri — tell us where you're staying and we'll quote from the right departure point. We confirm the exact meeting point when we finalise your booking.

Can we customise the itinerary?

Absolutely. The boat is yours for the day — tell your skipper what you'd most like to see and we shape the route around you.
