  SO fun! Was a highlight of our trip. We had great weather and thoroughly enjoyed the mix of swimming and exploring Capri. Size of the tour was perfect and our captions were expert navigators!

  The Boat and crew were great! The places we stopped, the information shaed shared and drinks on the way back made it very special. The time listed by Viator for departure was off a bit. As well I think the description of the excursion should include a statement that the Blue Grotto may be closed due to weather or high tide as it was for us so expectations are set.

• 4Fun day taking in the beautiful views

  While the start was confusing and there was a long wait, our captain Marcello was a fantastic navigator and his crew mate/guide Darii was terrific. They were both very fun and made the day very memorable.

• 4Watch for hidden costs before booking

  We booked through Trip Advisor and paid advertised cost but when confirmation came through in conditions they were asking for an additional €40 each for fuel costs & €10 each for landing tax. This was disappointing and more than what we budgeted for. I was informed by the tour operator when questioning that Viator were to blame for adding costs to trip. Watch out for this and cost of trip had reduced within few hours of booking . So disappointed. The trip was good fun with nice host and Captain. Got a cheese tomato sandwich to take on shore with us but no snacks or prosecco during trip as advertised. Only beer, coke or water & shot of limoncello before embarking.

• 5Fab boat trip!

  Great boat trip, the boat itself was really nice and plenty of room for the 12 of us. The skipper was amazing, great skills at handling the boat and felt in very safe hands. The tour lead was also great, had good knowledge and took care of us, we went with two kids 12 and 9 and they had a great time!! Wholeheartedly recommend, we had a brilliant time to Capri!

  We had a wonderful experience on this boat tour! Everything was very well organized, the Bruno was friendly and professional, and the views were absolutely beautiful. The boat ride was relaxing and enjoyable, and we really appreciated how smoothly everything was handled throughout the day. It was a great way to experience Capri and the coastline, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Highly recommend!

About Sorrento

Sorrento perches on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, a charming lemon-scented town that makes an easy base for Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.

The town's centre is Piazza Tasso, from which narrow lanes run past churches, shops selling limoncello and inlaid woodwork, and the peaceful cloister of San Francesco. Steps and lifts lead down the cliffs to Marina Piccola, where the boats leave, and to Marina Grande, a fishing harbour with seafood restaurants right by the water.

Top-ranked sights in Sorrento: Marina Grande, Baths of Queen Giovanna (Bagni Regina Giovanna), Praiano.
