Great day with Gianluigi and Capri
Great day trip with Gianluigi to Capri. Spent the day boating around the island to different grottos and other unique spots. Boat was great for 6 people with plenty of space and was clean. Gianluigi was very hospitable, friendly and funny. He booked a restaurant for us on the water with an incredible view and great food. My only recommendation is that if you want to have more time to spend exploring the island, I would not do a sit-down lunch as this ate up most of our time to explore. It didn't bother anyone in our group. Ideally, I think you would need two days to explore both the island and waters well but if you did a quick lunch of snack on the island you could have about 2 hours to explore. Great trip overall. Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled you had such a great day in Capri with Gianluigi and enjoyed the boat, the stops, and the restaurant experience. We really appreciate your suggestion as well—it’s very helpful for future guests planning their day. Hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure, maybe next time for two full days! 🚤✨

Incredible Day - Worth Every Penny!
This was definitely the highlight of our recent trip to the Amalfi Coast!! Gianluigi designed the perfect day for us, and he was such a wonderful and accommodating host. Our family of four adults were so comfortable on his spacious and immaculate boat. We enjoyed prosecco while exploring the coastline and several grottos. Seeing the Blue Grotto was on my bucket list but it isn't always possible due to the long lines and rough water conditions, at times. Gianluigi made it happen for us and I couldn't be more grateful! The trip to Capri was beautiful and Gianluigi made lunch reservations for us at a restaurant on Capri where they pick you up in a boat and serve you fresh fish that was caught that morning. I was able to communicate to Gianluigi via What's App very easily and he was extremely responsive. He also took and shared with me the most amazing photos - he could be a professional photographer in addition to a phenomenal boat captain! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who comes to the Amalfi Coast!! Incredible and worth every penny!

Amazing Experience Exploring Capri!
We had an amazing experience with Sorrento Rent Boats! It was one of our favorite days of the trip. Our captain was friendly and accommodating. He made sure to fit in everything we wanted to do. It was the perfect amount of time to see the coast and venture into the city of Capri. The captain made us a reservation at a restaurant right on the water with a beautiful view. The boat was clean and a great size for 2 couples. I would highly recommend!!!

We had a great day with Gianluigi. He was very patient with us as our group gathered and had interesting stories of the sights. The boat was like new and very comfortable for our group. Hope that someday we can return and do it again.

Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni cost?
+
Prices start at $858 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 Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni 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 Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni?
+
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 Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni 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 Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Boat Excursion from Sorrento to Capri and Faraglioni 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?
+

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.
