"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"

"We had a wonderful day sailing Capri! The hosts were spectacular and made the day easy. We made several stops for sightseeing, food and drinks along the way. Would highly recommend!"
A full day around the island
We leave Sorrento in the morning and set course for Capri, cruising at an easy pace so you can take in the coastline as it wakes up. Your private skipper knows every cove and every change of light — and the day is shaped around you, not a timetable.
We circle the island to admire its most famous sights from the water: the towering Faraglioni rocks, the Green Grotto and White Grotto, the Natural Arch and the lighthouse of Punta Carena. Wherever the sea is calm and clear, we stop to swim and snorkel in water that turns every shade of blue.
The Blue Grotto can be visited depending on sea conditions and queues on the day — your skipper will advise you honestly so you make the most of your time.
Free time in Capri
We moor near Marina Piccola or Marina Grande so you can step ashore for two to four hours: a stroll up to the Piazzetta, a long lunch, a little shopping, or simply an espresso with a view. Then back aboard for a relaxed cruise home along the Sorrento coast.
The itinerary

Departure from Sorrento
We cast off from Marina Piccola in the morning and cruise across the bay toward Capri, the island rising ahead as the coast wakes up.

Along Capri's wilder side we take in the White Grotto, the Green Grotto and the Natural Arch from the water, with a first swim wherever the sea is calm and clear.

The Faraglioni
We glide past the towering Faraglioni rocks — the image of Capri — slowing down for photographs and the view.

"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."
"Exceptional client service from Rafaele. We needed a personalized boat tour and he was very flexible to accept our requests, the boat was very clean and the drive went smoothly."

Frequently asked questions
Is lunch included?
No — lunch is ashore and at your own expense, during your free time in Capri. If you book lunch at our partner sea-view restaurant, you come ashore with its private water-boat service and skip the €100 Capri port fee.
Can we visit the Blue Grotto?
We take you there when the sea and the queues allow, but entry can never be guaranteed — it depends on conditions on the day, and your skipper will advise you honestly. The ticket, about €18 per person, is paid on site.
How do we book and pay?
Send us your date, your group size and where you're staying — on WhatsApp, by email or through our booking form. We reply quickly with a quote for the whole boat, in euros. A deposit holds your date; the rest is paid on board.
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.
We're on a cruise. Can we do this tour?
Yes — all our tours adapt to your port call. Send us your ship, port, date and all-aboard time: we build the day around your ship's schedule with a generous safety margin, so you're back in port well ahead of all-aboard. More on our cruise shore excursions page.
