The experience overall was not bad but certainly different from how it had been presented to us. They picked us up from the hotel at the scheduled time (9:00 am) and we arrived at the meeting point on time. After checking in, we waited 45 minutes in the sun for the boat to arrive (instead of leaving at 9:45, we left at 10:30). The excursion included a soft drink and a taste of limoncello, which did not happen. The guide was very vague in providing us with information. The thing I most want to emphasize is that upon arrival in Capri, instead of disembarking at Marina Grande, the boat stopped in the middle of the sea to have us transfer to a rubber dinghy with which we reached the shore. This obviously was not specified on the brochure (otherwise we would never have chosen this excursion). In my opinion, it would have been appropriate to specify this transfer change, as some passengers could have had difficulty moving from one boat to the other (as indeed happened). The girl who accompanied us throughout the excursion only introduced herself at the end of the tour, unlike the skipper who was certainly more affable and helpful. Furthermore, the excursion should have lasted 8 hours but it lasted less (They must have started counting the 8 hours from the hotel pickup). Scam or misunderstanding?) Value for money is average considering the period (August) and that Capri is expensive in itself.

Itinerary
Your memorable tour starts from Sorrento, the price includes the pick-up from your hotel or meeting point to the port of departure. Jump on board and depart to Capri.
The White Cave is a sea cave located on the island of Capri, Italy. It derives its name from white incrustations of calcareous matter upon its sides, and from clusters of white stalactites which hang from the roof and fringe the entrance.
It is a sea cave located on the island of Capri, whose green light upon the rocks stems to be a composite effect due to blue light reflected and transmitted from the water, playing upon the yellowish-hued sides and roof of the cave.
A coastal and oceanic rock formation eroded and shaped by waves. The three rocks outcroppings peeking up from the sea create one of the most recognizable and captivating landscapes in the world!
Marina Piccola, a charming seaside village famous for its waterfront restaurants and crystal-clear waters. Here you can take a refreshing swim, or simply relax and soak in the Mediterranean atmosphere.
Cruise past Punta Carena, home to Italy’s second most powerful lighthouse. Set on a dramatic rocky promontory, this is one of the most scenic and lesser-known spots on the island.
Suspended above the turquoise sea, this huge rock has been naturally cut into the shape of a gigantic arch. The landscape is magnificent. Further down is the entrance to the Grotta di Matromani, a grandiose natural cave transformed in the Roman period into a luxurious nymphaeum, adorned in molten glass mosaics and stucco.
Our skipper will stop you on the Island where you will have about 3 or 4 hours to discover the island. Don't miss the chance to visit LA PIZZETTA of Capri the city centre and its narrow streets full of hand made sandals shop.

Rosa and Luciano were very attentive and extremely spiritual, they are both great with kids, they answered all of our questions and some more. It was a great experience, we recommend it. Lots of hugs from Ingrid, Florian, Sofia and Tudor.
We had the most amazing day yesterday. Our guide (Bepe) and our skipper (Aldo) were the perfect hosts! They explained the history of the island, took us around the island for a swim in the sea. They were friendly and funny and made our day extra special. The island of capri is beautiful and plenty to see and explore. I would highly recommend this day trip with this company. Excellent value for what is included. We will cherish the memories from this day forever! Thank you.
The time on the boat was amazing! Everyone was super attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable and had drinks/ snacks. I’d spend more time on the boat than Capri if that was an option
The skipper and boat hand were so accommodating, offering drinks and checking we were okay. Explained everything very well, especially as they did so in 3 languages. Lovely boat. Explained the plan for the day and gave recommendations in capri. Capri itself was lovely but wouldn't rush back, the boat tour and experience was exceptional, let us swim, showed us all the notable along the coast. Cannot fault this. Looked through lots of different tours with fuel surcharge etc etc, this was by far the best option, with drinks and a sandwich aboard.
This trip was amazing. We were promptly Picked up at our hotel and taken to a marina Where we were met and checked in. Within a Short period of time we were escorted to our Boat. The boat was clean and spacious for Our group of 11. Our guide was very friendly And informative. Fabrizzio had very clear English. We saw many sites and had plenty of time to shop and eat.

Best boat tour ever. They picked us up where we were staying and drove us to and from the marina which was so nice. We had so much free time in Capri to do whatever we wanted and they gave us recommendations on how to get around. After we got back on the boat they took us to see the most amazing views and let us connect to the speaker. They had drinks and snacks for us and took probably a million photos for us without complaining. Our guides were the best, shout-out Gianni:)) Literally would do this tour everyday over and over again if we could. We loved it so much we booked another private sunset tour with them. If you go to Sorrento you must do this!!

The staff was great however some things were not up to par. On the itinerary it explicitly said we would stop in capri for 3 hours, but we had a 5 hour stop instead. We were hoping for a full boat day but we only were on the boat for 2 hours and 30 minutes total. The advertising needs to be changed. Additionally, they did not give us the option to do the Blue Grotto. If I could go back in time I would not book this boat company.
Dear Laney L, I would like to apologize for your disappointment. The tour is advertised correctly, in our itineraries it is clearly explained that we give from 3.5 to 4 hours free on the island and also the Blue Grotto is not included during thr boat tour but you can visit it during your free time .
