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!

Best day in Capri
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!

Outstanding Capri private boat.
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.
Response from the operator: 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!

Great skipper, great cruise
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.
Response from the operator: 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

Great boat trip to Isle of Capri
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!!!
Response from the operator: 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

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Capri.
How much does Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $1,062 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Capri usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Capri is not rushed.
Is Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Capri, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Capri can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Capri and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Capri within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Capri?
+
On Outty we rank every Capri experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Capri Island Boat Ride with Swimming and Limoncello, Kayak tour in Capri between caves and beaches. Photos included., Private Capri Island and Blue Grotto Day Tour from Naples or Sorrento. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Capri?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Capri?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion?
+

+

What languages is Capri by Sea Private Boat Excursion offered in?
+
