Just wow! A must experience ! Something so unreal and so unforgettable!!

Boat trip to Capri and the Blue Cave
530 euros paid in advance. Now, 250 euros had to be paid for fuel and 60 euros for the blue cave. All in all, far too expensive.

Best Day Ever!
The most amazing experience of our trip! Luigi our captain and guide was the best! His boat was perfect. It was clean and had the perfect amount of space and speed! Luigi was not only the captain, he was an amazing guide. He showed us so Many cool things on the tour outside of the normal things to show! He stopped and let us get off and have lunch, shop, etc. He provided snacks and drinks and special surprises throughout the day! Luigi became our friend and we would recommend this amazing tour and definitely his boat and knowledge to anybody looking for an amazing adventure!

Total misrepresentation. Never book with this tour operator.
Awful. They actually sent 5 of us on a skiff for the day with a skipper who smoked all day. We reserved a small motorboat captained for a day. The skiff was barely able to handle the water and if my family wasn’t from Florida and used to being on the water, we would never had made the day without getting sick. We tried to find another excursion same day but everything was sold out at that last minute. The tour operator had terrible customer service before and during. I would never book again through Trip Advisor or with Amalfi Coast Lovers directly. This was a scam.
Response from the operator: Lisa DeFalco, Let’s make this very clear from the start: YOU booked this ECONOMIC tour, the one clearly advertised with small boats and RIBs, exactly as shown in the photos on Viator. If you, Lisa DeFalco, had wanted a yacht or a larger luxury boat, we have plenty of options starting from €2,000/day and up, but you decided to go cheap. You cannot now turn around and pretend you were “scammed” because you chose the lowest category tour. All of our boats, even the smaller and more affordable ones, are brand new, equipped with all the necessary comforts, and fitted with modern low-consumption engines. This allows guests to reach Capri from the Amalfi Coast comfortably and at a low fuel cost, which is exactly what you did — you enjoyed a full day on the water, reached Capri, and spent much less than you would have on a bigger yacht. Calling our agency a scam is false, offensive, and dishonest. We have been working for years with integrity, offering unforgettable experiences to thousands of happy guests. What you wrote damages real, hardworking people who put their heart and soul into this job every single day. Lisa DeFalco, you saw the listing, you saw the photos, you read the description. If you didn’t understand the difference in boat category or “expected more,” that is entirely on you. Small budget = small boat. Bigger comfort = bigger price. That’s how this works everywhere, not just in Italy. Next time, before you throw around damaging words like “scam,” make sure you actually read what you’re booking. And if you can afford more, simply choose one of our luxury yachts instead of writing false, harmful reviews about honest people who delivered exactly what you paid for. We will continue to work with honesty and professionalism, but we will not tolerate being insulted publicly with lies.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Boat Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amalfi.
How much does Private Boat Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day cost?
+
Prices start at $628 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amalfi 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 of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day 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 Amalfi is not rushed.
Is Private Boat Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amalfi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Boat Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day?
+
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 of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day 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 of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day?
+
Around 2 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 Amalfi 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 Amalfi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Boat Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto in One Day 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 Amalfi 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 Amalfi?
+
On Outty we rank every Amalfi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hands-On Cooking Class & Farmhouse Tour on the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi Coast Boat Rental: Explore, Swim, and Relax at Your Pace, Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour with Snorkeling & Drinks. 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 Amalfi?
+
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 Amalfi?
+
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.
