Via Krupp
Between Marina Piccola and Faraglioni rocks, we find an historic hairpin turn paved footpath on the island of Capri, connecting the Charterhouse of San Giacomo and the Gardens of Augustus area with Marina Piccola. Commissioned by the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp, the path covers an elevation difference of about 100 m (330 ft). Built between 1900 and 1902, Via Krupp was ostensibly a connection for Krupp between his luxury hotel, Grand Hotel Quisisana and Marina Piccola, where his marine biology research vessel lay at anchor. Secretly, however, this path also conveyed him to the Grotta di Fra Felice, a grotto where sex orgies with local youths took place. When the scandal surfaced, Krupp was asked to leave Italy in 1902.

The faraglioni of Capri are three small rocky faraglioni named Stella, Mezzo and Scopolo. Their notable shapes result from erosion due to wind, rain, and sea waves. Their short distance from the shore create a scenic effect. We stop in front of them to take memorable photos!

The best day of our honeymoon
We had the most incredible day in Capri thanks to Fabrizio. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was so knowledgeable and took the time to show us all the beautiful spots along the way, sharing local insights that made the trip even more special. He also recommended the perfect restaurant for us, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our honeymoon. What really stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating he was. Before our trip, he even advised us to move our booking to a different day because the weather would be much better, which made a huge difference. He was incredibly flexible with pickup and drop-off, and throughout the day he was warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had an unforgettable time. Fabrizio is not just a fantastic skipper—he's a wonderful person. If you're planning a boat day in Capri or along the Amalfi Coast, don't think twice. Book with Fabrizio. We couldn't recommend him more highly, and we'd choose him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making one of the best days of our trip so memorable!

The best day ever!
The most magical day on the Amalfi Coast with Fabrizio! We were recommended to Little Prince Charters by our AirBNB host in Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi (Casa Laura) and we couldn’t have picked better! We felt so comfortable and had the absolute best day. We are a family of 5 with children from 22-11 and finding activities for everyone can be tricky. All 5 of us agreed that this was our favorite day in Italy. Absolutely reasonably priced and highly recommended!

Epic Birthday
My husband and I booked a private boat for my 40th birthday and the experience did not disappoint. Little Prince Charters helped create a customized tour and focused on what would make it most special. As someone who can get seasick I highly recommend the bigger boat (38ft) as it was well worth the money for the smoother ride. We were blessed to have Fabrizio as our captain. He is a local from the area and went over and above to ensure a fantastic day. We were having trouble booking with a local restaurant (as we don’t speak Italian) and he graciously called for us, let them know it was birthday and they came out later with a complimentary dinner. This was absolutely a highlight of our trip. Skip something else and put the money into a boat tour. You won’t regret it 🤍

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Sorrento: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does From Sorrento: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT cost?
+
Prices start at $1,259 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: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT take?
+
Plan for about 8 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: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT?
+
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: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Sorrento: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Sorrento: Private Capri Island VIP Tour with Apreamare 38FT 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 Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello 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.
