Best day in Capri

The entire day was amazing. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable about Capri. He suggested a place to eat on the amalfi coast and i think it was the best meal we ate in Italy. This boat tour was probably the highlight of the trip, 10/10 recommend!

Great skipper, great cruise

The skipper, Peppe, was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the local area as well as Italy and the Med in general. He is also an avid fisherman and shared stories of exploits including squid & octopus catches. His boating skills were superb, especially in the crowded grottoes.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. If anyone needs a skipper who can avoid boat traffic and drop some octopus wisdom, Peppe’s your guy! Kind Regards, Flora

Great boat trip to Isle of Capri

Our family went out yesterday and had a blast! The captain took us around Capri showing us the island and also stopped so we could swim for a bit. We then went into port and spent a couple of hours on the island shopping and eating. The boat was beautiful and the captain and first mate took great care of us. Two thumbs up!!!

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're happy you enjoyed the beautiful boat and had a chance to relax and explore Capri. Your two thumbs up means the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back on board soon! Kind Regards, Flora

Wonderfully Whimsical!!!

Our Capri boat tour with Mario and Toni was an unforgettable experience! If it were up to us, we'd choose them for every boat tour. They were not only incredibly kind and funny, but also immensely informative and entertaining. From the rich history of Capri, including fascinating stories about the Pirate Towers, to the geological wonders of stalagmites and stalactites, they shared it all with such enthusiasm and knowledge. The boat itself was also impeccable… modern, clean, comfortable (in better condition then most hotels 😂) Mario and Toni went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort, making sure we had the best time possible. Their warm personalities and great sense of humor made it a joy to spend the day with them. They truly made our day special and memorable. We couldn't have asked for better guides. Highly recommend!

Amazing boat tour around Capri

We had a private boat tour of Capri from Sorrento and it was wonderful. Our captain, Roberto, was friendly and knowledgeable. The boat had a bathroom, comfortable seating, Bluetooth speakers so we could play our own music, towels and noodles for swimming and a cooler with drinks. Roberto took us around the island and showed us interesting grottos and various coves and bays. There is no better way to appreciate the beauty of Capri. We also stopped to swim (with a bottle of Prosecco they provided!) and we stopped at the main dock to get off the boat and walk around town for a couple of hours. We were sorry the trip had to end, but Roberto brought out some lemoncello to make it a little easier. Overall a fantastic experience!

Book with Exclusive Cruises - professional, courteous, knowledgeable, amazingly fun!

The Exclusive Cruises company provided exceptional service well in advance of our trip to Capri as well as before the cruise. Day of we were with Skipper Guglielmo and his first mate. They were outstanding - young, energetic, knowledgeable, accommodating, and ready for whatever type of day we had envisioned. 5 stars and a high recommendation.
