Real experiences from real travelers
The private boat tour was worth every penny. Our captain, Marco, showed us caves we never would have found on our own. The Prosecco at sunset near the Faraglioni was magical.
We chose the small group tour and it was fantastic. Only 10 people on board so it felt very personal. Plenty of time to swim and explore Capri town. Highly recommend!
Capri is busy in July, but being on the boat made it so much better. The Blue Grotto was closed due to waves, but the Green Grotto was a great alternative.
Booking through this site was so easy. The tour was exactly as described. The swim stops were the best part—the water is unbelievably blue.
We did the 8-hour tour and felt we saw everything. The skipper was very knowledgeable about the history of the Li Galli islands. A must-do in Positano.
The boat was beautiful and very clean. Snorkeling gear was provided and we saw so many fish. Best day of our honeymoon!
Wonderful way to see the coast. Just wish we had more time in Capri town, but the boat time was so relaxing.
From the moment we met at the pier to the drop off, everything was professional. The captain was a great host and the boat was very comfortable.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The direct boat ride from Positano to Capri takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes, but tours usually take a scenic route along the coast lasting 1.5 to 2 hours before reaching the island.
Most tours visit the Blue Grotto, but entry depends on sea conditions. Please note the entrance fee (approx. €18) is usually not included in the tour price and must be paid in cash to the rowboat operators.
Private tours give you the entire boat and a customizable itinerary, perfect for families or couples. Group tours are more budget-friendly and allow you to share the experience with a small number of other travelers (usually max 12).
Yes! Almost all tours include at least two or three stops in crystal-clear bays like the Green Grotto or near the Li Galli Islands for swimming and snorkeling.
Our captains are experienced in finding calm waters. However, if you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking a preventative remedy 30 minutes before departure and staying on the deck in the fresh air.
Most tours provide light snacks, fresh fruit, and drinks (water, soda, and often Prosecco). Full meals are rarely served on board, but captains can recommend excellent seaside restaurants on Capri for lunch.
If the sea conditions are unsafe, tours will be cancelled. In this case, you will be offered an alternative date or a full refund through our partner platform's policy.
Full-day tours typically allow for 3 to 4 hours of free time on the island to explore Capri town or Anacapri. Half-day tours may offer less or no time on land.
Tours depart from the main pier at Spiaggia Grande (Positano's main beach). Look for the representative holding a sign with the tour operator's name near the ferry ticket booths.
