Gorgeous trip to Capri! Captain Irwin at Exclusive Cruises was knowledgeable, professional and completely dedicated to our family having an amazing voyage. The whole team was organized, professional and friendly and made the trip so easy and enjoyable start to finish. The day on the water swimming off side of boat near Capri definitely a Highlight of our trip. Thank you!
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!
Mario (Captain) and Tony (Mate) were incredible hosts. On time and professional. Their knowledge of the Island was extensive. Their demeanor was confident but relaxed They made our trip to Capri a memorable one.
We’re happy to hear that Captain Mario and Tony helped make your trip to Capri so memorable. Their professionalism, deep knowledge of the island, and friendly, confident approach are what we aim for in every tour. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them! Thank you so much!
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.
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
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!!!
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
10/10 experience. Pick up was super easy. Our captain Giuliano was helpful & knowledgeable. We had such a relaxing day and we would definitely do it again.
It’s great to know that everything went smoothly from pick-up to the end of your trip. We’d be happy to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water anytime! Best Regards, Flora
We had the most magical day! It was amazing. So many beautiful memories. Definitely one of the highlights of our Italian holiday. We had a Fantastic host. Took us to all the beautiful spots and knew the quiet time so we didn’t wait long for the blue grotto. Thank you
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!
We had a beautiful sunset cruise around Capri island. Mariano was an excellent captain that took us to all of the different caves and through the rock formation - Faraglioni. He is native to Capri and had so much knowledge about the island.
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!
