Fake Offer
This was a false offer; the guide failed to appear or respond to calls. As a family with a child, we found the situation quite unpleasant.

Capri Private Boat Tour
Arranging the tour in advance is a must as you will be bombarded with solicitations as you get off the ferry from Naples. Doing a three hour private tour around the island was amazing. The boat was nice and relaxing, the captain was a great tour guide, and the stops were breathtaking. The blue grotto is part of the stop, we decided to skip that as the wait in line is at least an hour and then you sit in a boat waiting for your turn to go in for 5 minutes. Beware that it will be closed for rough seas. This tour was exceptional, great communication from the operator, perfect length of time. We would definitely use them again when visiting Capri.

Highly recommended for a beautiful view of the Capri coastline.
We had an amazing 3 hour boat trip which took us around the whole coast of the Island of Capri. Our guide was very knowledgeable and robots of interesting facts about the numerous grottos we visited and coastal areas. We were particularly impressed with his boating skills, he navigated some of the grottos beautifully enabling us to see some of the fascinating rock formations and crystal clear turquoise waters. We were blessed with good weather which made for a perfect excursion. We have never been on a boat trip like this before as we are nervous at sea but it was a really lovely and relaxing experience because we felt like we were in safe hands.

So glad we did this!
This experience was fantastic!! The boat tour was definitely the highlight of our entire day in Capri! Gianlucca was amazing and so kind. He was full of information and took photos of our group anytime we asked. The waters and cokes were a nice touch to the 3 hour day on the water. It was a beautiful day and we had a terrific time seeing beautiful Capri! Unfortunately, the blue grotto was closed due to the high tide but this excursion allowed us to see the other grottos so the day was not lost! Thank you!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Capri excursion in a private boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Capri.
How much does Capri excursion in a private boat cost?
+
Prices start at $381 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 excursion in a private boat take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 excursion in a private boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 104 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 excursion in a private boat?
+
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 excursion in a private boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Capri excursion in a private boat?
+
Around 36 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Capri excursion in a private boat 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.
