We had a great time on...

We had a great time on the boat trip to Capril Island! Wonderful views and tour of the island. We would have gathered a little less time exploring the island and more time on the boat, but it was an enjoyable excursion! Luisa our guide and Giuseppe our captain were fabulous and friendly!

Best Day of our Trip

The best part of our whole trip! Obviously the views, visiting Capri, and getting to swim in the sea are beyond words, but Awna and Catello made this experience! They treated our family as their own and made it so enjoyable. We loved every minute!

Amazing!

Anna & Catello made this the most enjoyable experience! We had such a blast sailing around Capri that we asked Anna and Catello to turn the boat around to do it all again!

My favorite activity of our Italy vacation

When people ask “What was your favorite part of your trip?” my answer is always “The day we were cruising around Capri.” Our captain, Nino, and our skipper, Annie, were informative, knowledgeable and friendly! The views were out of this world. We were able to enter the Blue Grotto and cruise around to see all the other sites. We had the best weather and the group we were with were all friendly too. Could not have asked for better!
