Small group boat day
Overall this day was amazing!! Boating around the island of Capri and swimming in the sea was so beautiful. We had an awesome captain and skipper. We also were with a wonderful group of people that we enjoyed talking with all day. We had drinks, snacks, and noodles (for swimming) offered to us. Our only negative experience was the blue grotto. I would recommend just staying on the boat and skipping that part. Our row boatman was not kinda at all and told us probably 4 times (we were on his boat for 5-10 minutes) that the tip required to him was 10-20 euros per person. We had NO intention of tipping that considering we had already paid 19 euros a person to go in the cave. Him constantly reminding us about the “required” tip ruined the experience. He also was very rude to us when we refused to tip him more.

Fantastic
We had the best day visiting the island of Capri best tour with captain Luigi and Fernando - very knowledgeable and had lots of laughs and fun. Would highly recommend this tour ♥️👏🇮🇹

LUEGE & ROBERTO - MUSTS to book for the tour!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND THIS SMALL GROUP BOAT TOUR TO CAPRI!! It was better than we expected. Plan to meet them in the marina - they will move you to restaurant for a coffee while you wait for your groups to be formed. We booked online directly with them and would highly recommend this method to avoid the add on costs from the other companies. Same tour and lower price. We absolutely LOVED our guides!!! Luege & Roberto were so fun!!! Good duo and they kept the 8 person group laughing and answered all our questions. Good combination of laughs, history, and questions! We went to Capri via the Marina Piccola - which was amazing because it was the higher end and way less busy side. So we did 1 hour boat ride from Sorrento to this Marina & then 20 euro taxi to the city center. Spent about 3 hours on the island. Luege gave lots of activity recommendations and restaurant recommendations! Ask them anything and they will help or answer! We boarded back on the boat. We were told possibly the Blue Grotto wouldn’t be open that’s why we went to the island first. There was a notice it was not open until 10AM or after. We got back on the boat and were SHOCKED!!! It was open and we waited about 45 minutes to go in but they were helpful in letting us know updates and the process. Then from there they took us to a good snorkeling area and we swam for about 1-1.5 hours! PERFECT DAY! Exceeded our expectations and my husband and I truly believe it was because of our guides. They made it’s truly Good to GREAT!!! If you get to ask for a guide I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND - LUEGE & ROBERTO!!!!

Great Trip with Exceptional Captain and First Mate
What a day! We were on a small, shared adventure to Capri and the Blue Grotto - it lasted about 6-7 hours. Our captain (Ciro) and first mate, Lucio, were awesome. They worked hand in glove to make sure we were safe and entertained, and that our time was maximized. They radio ahead to find out in which order we should spend our day - for us it started with a swim, then up to Capri, then to the Blue Grotto and ended with another refreshing swim. (The 3 hours in Capri could have been done in 2). Great day, and a way to experience more than just a day trip to Capri!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People cost?
+
Prices start at $189 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People 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 Sorrento is not rushed.
Is From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 118 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People?
+
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 From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People 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 From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People?
+
Around 41 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Sorrento: Capri & Blue Grotto Boat Day Tour Up to 8 People 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting. 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 Sorrento?
+
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 Sorrento?
+
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.
