Incredible day ⛵️

Highly recommend this tour. Semi private was the way to go for sure. Great size boat for the people, drinks provided, quick entry into the blue grotto, plenty of swimming stops and door to to door service from your hotel. Definitely worth the money.

Amazing time!

This was an amazing yacht experience. Ana was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. We did not got to blue grotto because we did not want to wait an over an hour but we swimmed through a cave and got to do whatever we wanted in Capri. ( Shopping for my group) Had soo much fun and the water and scenery was amazing. Felt like a billionaire for the day! There is a 25.00 euro travel fee and 25.00 euro bus fee in Capri but totally worth .

Amazing time

Ana and our boat driver were amazing. They were fun, kept us engaged.. We partied , we shoped in Capri. It was an amazing time I do suggest if you don’t want to spend money don’t book but if you want to have an amazing time on a private yacht, book!

Must do!!

This was one of the best days on the Italy trip. The captian, Massimo, and David were great tour guides. The Blue Grotto was not available but we were able to see other areas of the island. We toured Capri, had lunch, and returned to the boat. We swam and had some refreshments. It was a wonderful trip. Be prepared to transfer to a smaller boat to go to shore. There is an escalator to take you to the city of Capri. You don't need to take a cab/ bus.
