Amazing Private Boat Tour of Capri, Positano, and Grottos.
I rented a private boat charter through Charter System Sorrento that picked us up in Sorrento and tooks us around to see Positano, Capri, and the Grottos. Our skipper provided drinks and snacks while on the boat, set up a nice lunch on the island of Capri, took us swimming, and made the whole experience amazing. Thanks to the whole team at Charter Systems: Antonello, Ester and our skipper Carlo for making the day one we will never forget. I highly recommend using them.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🙏 We’re truly happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience with us. It was a pleasure having you on board, and I’ll make sure to share your kind message with Ester, Carlo, and the whole team. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another beautiful day on the sea! ⛵✨

Beat day of our holiday
My wife and I just had the best day of our holiday. From the minute we got picked up to the minute we got back our hosts Anselmo (captain) and Giuseppe took care of us all day. We were offered drinks and fruit all day and the boys explained every part of our trip in perfect English. The communication at every stop was very well explained and we did not have to wait more than a few minutes to be picked up at the isle of capri. They even gave us some Italian cooking tips lol. The boat was in exceptional condition and very well looked after. I would recommend this day to anyone thinking of a day to the Isle of Capri or anywhere on the amalfi coast.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your day with Anselmo and Giuseppe was the highlight of your holiday. It’s great to know you enjoyed the comfort of the boat, the refreshments, and their detailed explanations along the way. We love that they even shared some Italian cooking tips with you—it’s those little touches that make the experience unique. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable journey along Capri and the Amalfi Coast!

Must Do!
Our experience with Charter System Sorrento was amazing! From start to finish. I had many questions prior to our tour day and the staff helped with everything and was extremely easy to deal with. Andrea(our Captain) was so friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating and flexible. The tour itself was curated to exactly what we wanted which was a relaxing time with great views of the coast and a few pit stops to cool off and swim. They arranged a transfer to and from the port and made a reservation on at a fantastic restaurant on Capri for us! Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to know that everything—from the planning stage to the day of your tour—was smooth and enjoyable. Andrea will be thrilled to hear your kind words about his service and flexibility. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the personalized itinerary, swimming stops, and the restaurant on Capri. We’re also glad the transfers made your day even more seamless. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back on board for another unforgettable journey!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private boat tour Capri & Positano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private boat tour Capri & Positano cost?
+
Prices start at $1,654 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 tour Capri & Positano 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 Private boat tour Capri & Positano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 tour Capri & Positano?
+
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 tour Capri & Positano 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 Private boat tour Capri & Positano?
+
Around 10 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 Private boat tour Capri & Positano 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 Tour with Olive Oil, Limoncello, and 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.

Not included: Blue Grotto ticket (optional, EUR 18/person); Marina Grande port fee (EUR 100/boat, optional); and fuel coast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private boat tour Capri & Positano?
+
the meeting point is at the port of Capri in "big marina" Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private boat tour Capri & Positano offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
