Capri Tour from Naples: Your Tour Around Capri

Was a lot of fun being on the boat and with the crew. Everything was very clean and well organized. Would highly recommend

An Absolute Highlight of Our Trip – Flexible, Professional, and Family-Friendly Rating: ★★★★★ This review is for a 7-hour charter I made for my family of four for Tuesday, April 7th. I was able to search, chat, modify and lock-in from Connecticut roughly 2 months before our trip. And it was hands-down the best day of our vacation. If you are hesitant about booking a boat from afar, or just not sure which charter companies to trust then I hope to put some of that at ease. The communication and transactional details were seamless from start to finish. And given the early season there were a few requests that had to be tweaked along the way. All were handled in a timely fashion by text, Whatsapp and mail alerts (via click&boat). A few things that were important to us, which proved accurate in their description and subsequent communicaitons included: - The length of charter: plenty of options - Ability to modify stops: once we understood the tradeoffs (or rather spatial limits) of “hitting” Capri and Positano we were able to find a base charter and modify details - The kind of boat: we wanted a more refined vessel with higher stance, wooden deck, toilet, changing area and hand shower. I think the one we had was by Apreamare. - Splitting payment between deposit and day-of - Specifics about what was on the boat and what I needed to bring: e.g. they’re happy to take you to fishing spots but you’ll need to bring poles The Crew: Luca & Federica Luca and Federica were the perfect skippers. They hit that rare balance of being incredibly informative about the coast while giving us the space to enjoy a private, family affair. They were particularly great with our two boys (ages 10 and 12), making them feel welcome and included. Perhaps most importantly, my wife—who is usually quite cautious and anxious on boats—felt completely safe and relaxed the entire time. The Itinerary & Flexibility Before confirming the reservations, the online staff helped us customize a route that combined both Capri and Positano with lunch in-between at a smaller beach. They were happy to swap the Green Grotto for the more distant Blue Grotto – and helpful in alerting us well before the trip that the Blue Grotto was closed due to the early season – and firming up a few alts. In Sorrento itself, despite a late start on our end (we didn’t leave the Sorrento dock until 9:15), the crew was incredibly helpful with pickup. Ultimately by choosing to anchor off-coast rather than docking to go ashore, we maximized our time on the water, anchoring at Capri and Positano – and avoided the heavy crowds. Life on Board The boat was gorgeous and pristine. The finer details of the better boat were appreciated like the lattice-like step platform of teak off the back. For periods we enjoyed some italian music. In others we were treated to local refreshments: chilled Prosecco in the morning and a wonderful Limoncello/Meloncello pairing in the afternoon. The boat could easily host more people, but with just four of us it felt pretty luxe. A few additional, less obvious considerations: - They will work with you on time of departure. Online it said 9am. We modified it to 8am when we thought we could reach the Blue Grotto. That shifted back to 9am when we learned it was closed. The later departure was better in April – warmer weather during the trip. - The water in early April is definitely cold! We brought our own wetsuit jackets (a detail I confirmed via email after booking but before traveling). That allowed us to swim in the Green Grotto and snorkel a bit. It was worth it—the water is crystal clear and teeming with large schools of fish. Would’ve been a shame to not get in the Mediterranean. - If you want to fish, they can find places. But the vessel is primarily for travel, anchoring and snorkeling. You’ll need to bring your own poles. Final Verdict: Returning at 4:25 PM, we felt like we had seen the very best of the Amalfi Coast without the stress of the tourist traps. Our only "regret" was not having even more time to stop at some of the smaller, less-touristy beaches like Cantuccio Nerano, but that just gives us a reason to book with Luca and Federica again next time.

It was a great day on the boat everything went as expected! They brought pizza for us which was nice. But I might have done it differently by doing lunch on land which would break up the trip a little. 7 hours is a long time on the boat and we ended up getting off 1.5 hours early

We enjoyed a private three hour Sunset tour up the coast from Sorrento to one side of Capri. Luca was our skipper; Nicola and Luca were both friendly and professional. Pick up at Marina Piccola was easy if very busy spot for all the private boats .. fun to watch. Sitting up front with snacks, sparkling wine with the blue water and setting sun was magical. Luca shared details about the historic sites and ancient legends. Seeing the cliff sides of Capri and rocky outcroppings up close was unique. A relaxing swim ended our tour. The journey back to port at night was serene. Luca is a skilled skipper and wonderful host. He truly cares about his guests.
