Boat was relax. Great experience and great captain and staff! Highly recommended!
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.
Ludo & Giuseppe were the best guide and captain for our trip. Kind, funny and the best day spent in Capri. Thank you for an unforgettable day!!!
Brilliant trip!! Highly recommend. Francesco is brilliant!!
I honestly can’t recommend this experience highly enough. From the moment we stepped on board Captain Nello’s boat, everything was first class. The boat itself was immaculate, spacious, incredibly comfortable, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect day on the water. His singing and music choice made the experience even more memorable. Captain Nello was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had an unforgettable experience. Nothing was too much trouble, and he went above and beyond to ensure our group was comfortable, relaxed, and having the best possible time. A huge thank you also to Martha, our guide, who was absolutely exceptional. Her knowledge of the area, warm personality, and enthusiasm made every stop even more special. She shared fascinating stories and local history, answered every question with a smile, and truly made the day come alive. She absolutely nailed it! We even shared a rowing boat with martha into the caves m! The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, the swimming spots were stunning, and the attention to detail throughout the day was second to none. It felt like a luxury private experience rather than just another boat tour. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip, and something we’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re considering booking with Captain Nello, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. We can’t wait to come back and do it all over again. Thank you for an unforgettable day!
Wonderful day. Picked up near accomodation. Small boat to Capri and Blue Grotto. Luca and Francesca were great guides. The small group experience was special.
Best experience ever! We had the time of our lives! Even kids ages 11 & 15 loved all of it.
Ana was so sweet and positive. Boat captain has an incredible skills Tour was fun
It was an amazing experience. It started around 9ish in the morning, and we were back by 3ish. I really didn't want the tour to end. It was very, very relaxing and refreshing around the beautiful land and sea scapes of Sorrento and Capri. Our Host Anna was an absolute delight! She was so passionate about having us on the boat. The boat was clean and safe, and our fellow passengers were fun to be around. We got to dive into the sea a couple of times. The best time of my Italy trip! Thoroughly refreshing.
Great day out with Giovanni and Gaeteno (Sorrento to Capri on a boat with a stop in Capri, opportunity to stop at Blue Grotto, swimming and scenic views). Our family of three including 17 year old daughter really enjoyed our day on the boat Relax. Our guides were amazing and worked hard to make us all feel comfortable and get to know them and each other. Highly recommend.
