Italy · BOAT TOURS IN CAPRI
Good boat tours in Capri fill up weeks out and the best ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Sail Capri’s coast for sea-cave views and Faraglioni rocks, with optional Blue Grotto entry and plenty of skipper commentary.
“I booked the tour with swimming and it was fantastic! the guys on the boat were nice and helpful, the boat was half empty (I think because everyone goes to the blue grotto), the swim stop was reaaaaally nice and long. nothing felt rushed. The price-value-ratio is Amazing!”
Naples to Capri by ferry plus a guided boat loop of caves and Faraglioni, with 4 hours on the island and optional swim stop.
“Great day trip. We loved the boat trip around the island with the swim stop- just beautiful. Anastasia, our guide, was wonderful, very impressed that both the guides could speak three languages!”
Small-boat cruise from Sorrento to Capri with snorkeling, dramatic views, and optional Blue Grotto for a 5 to 8 hour day.
“This was by far the best part of our 9 day trip to Italy with Mt. Etna a close second best part of our visit. Fabricio (sp?) was such an excellent and entertaining guide. He took some of our favorite photos of us that day and gave us information on the various things to do on the island such as the high end shops in Capri and looking for the goats going up the chairlift. We found the goats on our hike back down to the marina from the chair lift. What a great experience! I also want to thank our captain of the boat that did such an amazing…”
Early Capri boat tour from Sorrento with a small 12-passenger group, Blue Grotto sights, swimming, and Capri free time.
“So glad we chose this over a crowded ferry! Great tour guides, small boat (12 passengers. Plenty of room!), the most scenic views, got to explore alcoves we def couldn’t have had we been on a boat. Lucky to have calm waters and experience the grotto with very lil waiting (oct was less busy). Bring your suit! We got to stop & snorkel in the clear waters which was fabulous! Fresh fruit & drinks on the open water was a great touch! The chair lift on anacapri side was a great experience, despite being afraid of heights it was not scary at all! Great views at the top! Great nautical…”
Capri 2-hour boat tour from Marina Grande with sea-cave stops and an optional Blue Grotto rowboat entry add-on for extra cost.

Sorrento to Capri by boat with grottos, Faraglioni sights, optional Marina Piccola swim, limoncello tasting, and 6 hours on the island.
“We really enjoyed this day trip to beautiful Capri. Very well organized and Benedetta was so wonderful. She gave us all the information for our day and even checked on us via Whatsapp to make sure everything was going well. We had a lot of time on the island without feeling rushed and the island tour was breathtaking. Thank you Benedetta and team for an unforgettable exercise. I would highly recommend booking this tour!”
Small-group speedboat from Sorrento to Capri with Blue Grotto odds, swimming and snorkeling, plus real time in Capri town.
“Wonderful day out on the water. Lucio was an excellent tour guide and made sure we all enjoyed ourselves. Tour is well organized. We were unable to enter the Blue Grotto in the morning but they just changed our itinerary around and we visited in the afternoon. Highly recommend MBS for a Capri day out.”
2-hour small-group Capri boat cruise with White and Green Grotto stops, Arco Naturale, swim time, snacks, and limoncello.
“My friend and I chose this activity because it was a small group and we 1000% recommend to anyone to do this option! It was the perfect amount of time in the sun and we saw so many beautiful sites. Just make sure you back your own beverages to sip on! We had the lemonchello provided though and that was so yummy! 5/5 👏🏽”

“absolutely amazing! raffe was the greatest skipper ever!!!! book this if you want to go to capri!”
2-hour boat tour from Giardini Naxos to Isola Bella, Faraglioni, Blue Grotto, and Mazzarò Bay, with swim and snacks.
“I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. Antonio was our guide, and we had the best time exploring the coastline with him. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to make the experience unforgettable to even taking beautiful photos of us at every stop. The views from the boat were absolutely breathtaking, and seeing Taormina and the surrounding coastline from the water is a completely different experience. We passed stunning sea caves, crystal-clear waters, and hidden coves that you simply wouldn’t get to see from land. The team was also incredibly flexible and accommodating; they kindly adjusted our booking time without any hassle. Everything felt relaxed yet…”

“Great. Opportunities to swim; excellent info from skipper and crew. Highly recommend. Fun day!”
Capri island cruise from Sorrento: pickup to Nerano, guided boat trip, 6 hours free time, and Ieranto Bay views.
“This was an unexpectedly good trip due to timely and friendly transportation, first by bus pickup at hotel and later boat to Capri. Our guide was very personable. He nicely tried to dissuade me from breaking away from the group to find Villa Jovis (Tiberius’ palace ruins) as it is quite a trek and I might get lost and miss the boat back. I broke away from our group. It was a long walk, I almost did get lost, but I made it. The guide congratulated me on the boat ride back. I basically booked the tour to have professionals get me to the island so that I could venture…”
Capri boat day trip from Naples with grottos, swim stops, limoncello, and 3 to 4 hours to explore the island by yourself.
“This was an amazing experience and I am so happy we booked it! Bus transfer took us from Naples to port of Sorrento and then we were collected in groups to go on the boats. We were given champagne, wine, snacks, sandwich, and recommendations for Capri when they set us loose for a few hours on the island. Boat ride is quite rough at times but no sea sickness. Stopped to swim for about 30 minutes. They took us through the Love Arch/Faraglionj rock formations by boat as well!! No blue grotto included (the grotto is very busy and a little overpriced). An incredible trip!Read more”
Every kind of day out in the country, and the best of each.
