    Fantastic for all ages!

    I can’t say enough positive things about our private boat tour of Capri and the surrounding sites out of Amalfi. Anna was a perfect guide, bringing information and upbeat energy in equal measure! Captain “K” kept us going in a safe and timely manner throughout the trip. All our needs were met with kindness and respect for all passengers from 20s to a 90 year old in a wheelchair, for the 2 tours I arranged two Mondays in a row for different groups of family & friends! Don’t hesitate, book it!!

    Amazing day off the coast!

    Anna was amazing on our tour with friends! What a beautiful day! I would absolutely ride with them again and definitely do so! Everything was set up perfectly. The cut fruit, the snacks, the Prosecco, and overall amazing experience. Pickup was easy! We did so in Amalfi. Capri had a lot of tourists, so if you’re looking for something ‘quiet’ - I would choose one of their other boat tour options! A highlight of the day was jumping into a beautiful ocean and Anna helped us film and video it all! She’s such a pro- truly high quality images! Thank you for making our tour amazing!!!

    Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amalfi.

    How much does Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $458 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amalfi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Amalfi is not rushed.

    Is Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 83 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amalfi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi?

    +

    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 Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi?

    +

    Around 29 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 Amalfi 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 Amalfi and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi 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 Amalfi 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 Amalfi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Amalfi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hands-On Cooking Class & Farmhouse Tour on the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Private Day Trip with Pick Up, Amalfi Coast Boat Rental: Explore, Swim, and Relax at Your Pace. 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 Amalfi?

    +

    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 Amalfi?

    +

    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 Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Snacks; Professional English speaking skipper; Towels; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Disembarkation/embarkation fee to the island of Capri (150,00 €); Disembarkation/embarkation fee to the Port of Naples, Mergellina (110,00 €) - if applicabl; Snorkeling equipment (you can bring your own or buy it new on board: € 15,00 mask; € 9,00; and Fuel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 162 listed pickup locations in and around Amalfi.

    What languages is Capri Private Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi offered in?

    +
