    We loved this tour!

    We loved this tour! Lucio was our guide and Roberto was the captain. They did everything they could to make our day special, from tailoring the route to take advantage of the weather and avoid the rough seas, to finding the best swim spots, avoiding crowds, taking us to the blue grotto at the right time (closed shortly after we visited) to the Capri recommendations and the food and drink on board. The following day Lucio was still messaging on WhatsApp and sending us recommendations for Ravello! They truly made our day feel special, and our family loved it. Would recommend this tour, and especially Lucio and Roberto to anyone.

    Wonderful!

    Had a wonderful time with Francisco and Raphael boating from Sorrento to Capri and back. Saw the Blue Grotto, all the sites along the Capri coast, Anacapri, Capri, had lunch, and went swimming. A gorgeous, memorable day for our family!

    Best Boat Tour Experience Ever!

    We had an amazing Capri boat tour with Captain Chiro and our guide Teresa! They were both excellent from start to finish. Chiro made the experience so enjoyable with his calm and relaxed energy, and Teresa was incredibly informative, helpful, and patient throughout the tour. They made us feel comfortable the entire time and shared so much interesting information about Capri. Their kindness and professionalism made the day even more special. We truly had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Capri!

    Best experience of my life

    Our family spent a full day on a private boat tour to Capri with MBS Tours in Sorrento, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The boat was beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably maintained, but what made the experience unforgettable were our captains, Massimo and Luigi. They were professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and Capri. They took us to stunning spots around the island, shared fascinating local insights, and made sure every member of our group felt comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Their warm personalities, sense of humor, and exceptional hospitality transformed a great excursion into a magical and unique experience. Capri itself was breathtaking, but experiencing it from the water with Massimo and Luigi made it even more special. We created memories that will last a lifetime. If you are considering a boat tour in Sorrento to Capri, do not hesitate to book with MBS Tours. Ask for Massimo and Luigi—you will be in the best hands possible. Thank you for an unforgettable

    An incredible day trip to to Capri & the Blue Grotto!

    We just returned from a full day trip from Sorrento to the Isle of Capri and the Blue Grotto. We were not only blessed with incredibly nice weather, but fortunate to have Francisco, an incredible tour guide/ host (And entertainer extraordinaire!), and Raphael, whom is very adept at controlling the boat. It was worth every penny and our entire group became friendly, making it a very worthwhile excursion and simply awesome day! Highly recommend!

    From Sorrento or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does From Sorrento or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,146 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Positano 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 or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour 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 Positano is not rushed.

    Is From Sorrento or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Positano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Sorrento or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour?

    +

    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 or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour 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 or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour?

    +

    Around 19 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 Positano 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 Positano and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Sorrento or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour 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 Positano 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 Positano?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Positano experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cooking class with Pasta, mozzarella and Tiramisu with wine, Amalfi : Prepare fresh pasta, mozzarella and tiramisu with wine, Ravioli & Tagliatelle Cooking Class at a Local's Home in Positano. 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 Positano?

    +

    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 Positano?

    +

    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 From Sorrento or Positano: Capri Island Private Boat VIP Tour?
