Punta Carena Lighthouse
The second largest lighthouse in Italy The lighthouse has been active since 1867. Its construction began in 1862 on a project by the Bourbon engineers and is one of the largest lighthouses in Italy in terms of size and power, after the one in Genoa. It consists of an octagonal masonry tower with lantern and gallery, placed above a two-storey building for the lighthouse keeper. The lighthouse was recently repainted and is now white with red vertical stripes. The caretaker's house is red. The headlight is equipped with a rotating optic that emits flashes of white light with a period of 3 seconds. The focal plane is 73 meters above sea level. The lighthouse has a range of 25 nautical miles (approximately 46 km), and is therefore referred to as a deep-sea lighthouse.

Awesome private boat tour...
Awesome private boat tour of Capri by Captain Enzo. Personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating.
via Viator
Personalized 5 star service and experience
Enzo was awesome! As soon as my trip was booked we communicated via WhatsApp. The instructions were clear and easy. However, the coolest thing about the trip is that it was only my sister and I and he gave us a very personalized tour. He gave us the story of the island and stopped to take pics, he is a great photographer by the way! I could say I made a friend and will definitely be back to book w him!

Beautiful Tour, Confusing Start
The meeting point was difficult to find because the address led to a café across the street. Different people gave us different directions, and the boat captain didn’t answer our calls. He later said he had sent us a WhatsApp message, but we never received it. Once we found the boat, everything was great. The tour was beautiful, we stopped at lovely swimming spots, and the captain shared interesting information about Capri (partly in Italian and partly in English). Overall, we really enjoyed the experience despite the confusing start.
Response from the operator: Dear guests, thank you for your kind words regarding the quality of the tour and the places visited. However, we would like to clarify a few points for the sake of accuracy: Meeting point: The meeting point was not at the café; you ended up on the other side because you likely asked other people for directions instead of sending a message to the official contact number provided with your booking. As is our usual practice, we always send a WhatsApp message to notify you of any changes; if you did not receive it, it is likely that a different phone number was provided or you did not contact us directly. Language: Regarding the language, the skipper was explicitly asked if he could communicate in both English and Italian, and you confirmed that you wanted both languages. Thank you once again for choosing Waves of Capri, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Great boat trip in Capri
Wonderful afternoon spend with Enzo, who was our captain/skipper, a very nice and chatty guy😎 FYI, the tour is a private one and the boat is small thus best suited for 2-4 persons. No changing room no bathroom on the boat though... Definitely recommend the trip. water and coke available to grab, bonus👍 Must give a thumb up and shout out to Enzo again,yay🙌 ask him to play his best 90s songs playlist and you will love it😍
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! It was a pleasure having you on board. I’m glad you enjoyed the day, although I’d like to clarify a few points to better help future guests understand our unique experience. Our 3-hour tour on the traditional Gozzo is designed as an intimate, authentic, and cultural experience, rather than a standard, 'run-of-the-mill' sightseeing trip. That’s why I take pride in sharing the history and secrets of Capri—like the story behind the Green Grotto—so you can truly appreciate the island beyond just seeing it. Regarding the music, I’m surprised by your comment! I was happy to let you connect to our Bluetooth system so you could play your own favorite songs, which I actually enjoyed listening to with you. As for the vessel, our 7.50-meter Gozzo is spacious and comfortable; while it is certified for up to 8 passengers, we limit it to a maximum of 5 to ensure our guests have plenty of room to relax—you had huge space for just the two of you! Regarding amenities, these traditional boats are chosen for their style and heritage rather than for having onboard bathrooms. We always suggest that guests check boat specifications or contact us beforehand if these facilities are a priority. There are many 'mass-tourism' operators in Capri that offer different setups, but we are proud to offer a more personal and traditional service. Thanks again for joining us, and I hope you enjoyed the beauty of our island!

The Perfect Capri Experience with a True Local Guide
Such a relaxing and unforgettable tour of beautiful Capri. Enzo was incredible—he took amazing photos and videos for us, shared fascinating insights about the island’s history, and brought us to some stunning swimming spots. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Skip the large commercial operators and book with a local who genuinely loves and knows the island. The personal touch made all the difference. Highly recommended—Enzo is an absolute legend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was a true pleasure meeting you and showing you the beauties of my island. I am so happy that you appreciated the personal touch and that the memories (photos and videos) are worthy of the fantastic day we spent together. I hope to see you back on board the classic Gozzo soon for another unforgettable day. Sending you a big hug! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and enjoy Capri and Italy!

Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Capri.
How much does Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $328 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 Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 64 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 Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience?
+
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 Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience?
+
Around 22 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Capri Secret Corners : Private Classic Boat Experience start and how do I get there?
+

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.
