The red cave: it is also called the Coral cave due to the red color of the coral that emerges on the surface of the walls of the formation.
The Natural Arch is a rock structure present, in the form of an arch, formed on the island of Capri, of natural origin, following exogenous and endogenous erosive processes that have affected the rocks. Stop for bathroom.
The symbol stacks of Capri are three rocky peaks located southeast of the island of the same name, famous all over the world thanks to the evocative and historic panoramic view offered by the gardens of Augustus. Stop for the bathroom and photos.
Marina Piccola is a locality known for the lively and sheltered bay of the same name on the Tyrrhenian Sea. From the lively terraces of the restaurants you can admire the view of the rock formations of the Faraglioni, while walking along the characteristic Via Krupp you reach the Gardens of Augustus. Stop to visit the island price for use of the main port for landing 100 euros, otherwise if you have lunch in a restaurant you can visit the island without a landing fee.
The Green Grotto: The water around the cave gives off a beautiful green colour, an effect caused by the reflection of light. swimming stop for snorkelling.
The Punta Carena lighthouse is the second largest in Italy in terms of lighting power (after Genoa), as well as being one of the oldest: it was lit for the first time in 1867. Going slowly down the road that starts from the Caprile area of Anacapri, you can admire the jagged coast that forms enchanting coves, the rich Mediterranean vegetation, the pine forest that overlooks the small bay, the rocky ridge where the "Grotte dei Caciocavalli" open and on which the Torre della Guardia stands imperiously.
The Blue Grotto: is bathed in a brilliant blue or emerald light. The quality and nature of the color within it is determined by its unique combination of depth, breadth, clarity of the water and source of the light. (The price of the blue cave is not included in the tour price.
Already in Roman times, patrician families used to spend long holiday periods on the Amalfi Coast in Marina del Cantone: a habit that has not been lost, given that the Nerano beach remains one of the favorite destinations of the inhabitants of the area who come here from end of March to end of October. Next to the main beach, easily accessible since the road practically reaches the sea, there is the beach of Recommone, which can be reached by an easy path, and the Bay of Leranto, where instead it is necessary to face a much more demanding route. .

Giuseppe was a wonderful skipper, informed us of everything we were looking at and was a good host. Lovely day in Capri. However… I booked through the TripAdvisor app and it did list some exclusions, but the exclusions ultimately equaled 400€ for port fees and gas. $460 more… The trip was already $650.00 so I was surprised by this amount and the exact amounts were not listed on the app nor through the confirmation email link. The owner also did not contact me until 8:40pm the night before leaving no room for cancellation if desired due to cost of the trip almost doubling. Caution - Just read the website additional information on this listing and not only the app because the price of this trip is VERY misleading.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read your review, especially considering the effort we made to accommodate your requests and ensure you enjoyed your day in Capri. We would like to clarify that the extra costs for fuel and port fees are clearly stated in the tour description and listed among the exclusions. These charges are not hidden and have been part of our tour conditions for many years. We have been operating these tours for over 10 years, and thousands of guests have booked with full awareness of these additional costs. If the TripAdvisor app did not display all the details as clearly as the website, unfortunately this is not something we can control. The information is provided in the official tour description, where all exclusions and extra costs are specified. Regarding our message the evening before the tour, this is our standard procedure for all guests. We contact customers to confirm the meeting point, departure time, and skipper details. The purpose of this communication is not to introduce new charges, but simply to remind guests of information that is already included in the booking details. We are also disappointed by your comments because, despite your concerns, we chose to cover the €100 Capri port fee on your behalf as a gesture of goodwill. We did this to help avoid further inconvenience and to ensure you could still enjoy the experience. We are pleased that you appreciated Giuseppe’s professionalism and hospitality and that you had a lovely day in Capri. For this reason, we feel your review does not fully reflect the efforts we made to assist you and the overall quality of the experience provided. We wish you all the best and thank you again for visiting Capri with us. Kind regards, Sorrento Rent Boats

We’re also glad you had plenty of time to explore Capri and create special memories along the way. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! Sorrento Rent Boats ⚓😊🌊
Would not recommend this trip. Tour guides could not speak English properly. Beware of the fuel costs. The company demands you pay 100 euro for the skipper. Regardless of service. 300 euro for fuel and they demand cash. Did expect PayPal for payment. The fuel costs should be billed as part of the original payment. Not during the excursion. Frustrating and ruined the experience.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the additional €100 charge was not for the skipper, but for the mandatory Capri port taxes and landing fees, which are imposed by the local authorities and are outside of our control. Regarding the €300 fuel cost, this amount corresponds to the actual fuel consumed during the excursion and is paid directly at the fuel station. For this reason, we kindly request cash payment whenever possible, as card payments involve additional transaction fees that we would otherwise have to absorb. We would also like to point out that both the Capri port fees and the fuel costs are clearly listed in the “Not Included” section of the tour description. Unfortunately, it seems there may have been some misunderstanding regarding what was included in the original booking price and what was not. We always strive to be transparent about all costs before departure and regret that this affected your overall impression of the tour. Kind regards, The Team

We had an amazing experience on this private boat cruise, especially under the direction of our Skipper Giuseppe, who is very nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.
We booked a boat for 3 of us for the day and we had an amazing time! Our skipper was named guissepe and he was very nice. He took us thru the grottos and made us a reservation for lunch on capri! We were able to explore the island as well. He had various drink options and was very nice! Would recommend booking with this company! It was worth it! A must do!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing day on the water! Giuseppe and Pasquale were so friendly and skilled navigating the caves. Sadly the Blue Grotto was closed due to high water levels, but they took us to the other caves to give us as similar an experience as possible. While they don’t speak much English, they made sure we were well taken care of. They arranged a great lunch on Capri, gave us time to explore, and we ended with swimming and rock jumping near Positano. Truly unforgettable!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🌊✨ We’re delighted to hear that, even though the Blue Grotto was closed, Giuseppe and Pasquale made sure you could still enjoy the magic of the other caves and have an unforgettable day. Our goal is always to create special memories with a mix of relaxation, adventure, and local flavors. We truly hope to welcome you back on board soon!
Grazie mille！ The skipper Giuseppe and the sub-skipper were truly nice guys, kind, and made the boat trip really enjoyable. I checked other companies’ tours as well, but this one was the most reasonably priced, and the content was completely satisfying. The restaurant at the beach club you recommended was absolutely delicious, and we were able to enter the Blue Grotto without having to wait too long. Once again, thank you so much. See you again! スキッパーのジュゼッペもサブスキッパーも本当にナイスガイで親切で楽しい船旅になりました。 他社のツアーも調べましたが、この会社が最もリーズナブルで、内容も完璧に満足できるものでした。 紹介してもらったビーチクラブのレストランも最高に美味しかったし、青の洞窟そんなに長く待たずに入ることができました。 改めて本当にありがとう。また会いましょう。
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We're truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the boat tour with Giuseppe and our crew – we always do our best to make every guest’s experience unforgettable. We're also glad the recommended restaurant and your visit to the Blue Grotto met your expectations. It was a real pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure at sea! Warm regards from all of us! 🌊⚓
