Amazing, would do again! Be aware though that Capri/Anacapri is NOT easily walkable. You will need to pay for some mode of transportation (walking from the Port to Capri center is possible though, even if I wouldn’t do it in the heat) Pickup went great and arrived on point. We drove to Piano Di Sorrento to get onto our beautiful little Italian yacht after we had paid our landing fees (in cash) at the office. Luisa (our amazing know it all who also played our lifeguard, entertainment, photographer and guide) and Guiseppe (our amazing captain) did everything to make sure we had an amazing day. Throughout our day, we were pampered with plenty of soft drinks, alcohol, a Limoncello, a very delicious sandwich and a little sweet treat. Plus of course music! We did not go to see the blue grotto since there were already heaps of boats there when we arrived and our boat group (8 people) agreed to rather spend your time on something worth our money. We got so see many other nice caves for free with no other boats around and the most stunning blue/turquoise water. We stopped for a fun swimming stop in the beautiful warm sea and got some floaties and goggles to watch the fish and enjoy our scenery. Afterwards we continued our journey past the Faraglioni around Capri where we got plenty of information and opportunities to take stunning pictures. With our sandwiches ready we got off without problems in the Port of Capri with around 3 ½ hours of free time. Be aware that there is absolutely no shade and it’s very hot! Capri is EXPENSIVE, Anacapri not as much but still… Furthermore, it’s basically impossible to walk to Anacapri and that you will need to spend (even more) money for some sort of transportation. All eight of us decided to get separate tickets for a semi-private bus. These stop at the Marina, Capri center and Anacapri center and can be used as many times as you’d like throughout the day. They leave every 5-10 minutes. A ticket costs 25 euros PER PERSON and can be paid cash or card. We took the Chairlift in Anacapri which is a definite must-do! Afterwards we had enough time for a quick stroll through the touristic Anacapri and Capri (maybe an hour more time would’ve been even better). The busses worked perfectly and we were picked up by our lovely crew without problems (while getting jealous stares from other tourists). We were vibing! On the way back we stopped for another beautiful swimming spot close to a fishing-village before already heading back to the Porto Di Sorrento where our driver picked us up and got us safely back to our hotels where we arrived around 3 pm (15:00 h). We (two adults and 11 year old child) had the most amazing day thanks to our lovely crew and the amazing weather. The boat and the atmosphere were perfect and we would always do this tour again for sure. Thank you very much to Luisa and Guiseppe for making this one of our favorite days here!
Amazing. We took the boat “Relax” with Giovanni and his boat partner. He’s a great navigator and captain, and him and his partner were very friendly and welcoming. You can’t go wrong with taking this journey with them - you’re in great hands.
Lucas and Francesco are incredible!! They made our day absolutely perfect! We highly recommend
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.
It was an amazing experience. I wouldn’t want to do it again without Ana!
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 .
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!
Wonderful day!! We loved it!!
Nice one good experience for entire services
Amazing day! Couldn’t fault it, raffy and geanna were the best crew, helpful, answered all our questions and made the day run smoothly. Would highly recommend :)
