Perfect Day with Hermes
Hermes is the owner and operator of a very nice, well maintained, large cruiser. The boat is very smooth in water that can be rough at times. Although this boat can easily accommodate 8 or more, only my wife and I took an all day cruise to Capri and glad we spent the extra money on a larger craft. Hermes is very accommodating and was able to adjust the itinerary to our exact preferences. He is a very good communicator and since you are dealing directly with the company boss, you get instant feedback and a perfect experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!!! It was a pleasure, all the best and see you the next time 😃👋

Amazing trip to Capri
My brother and I took our daughters on a private boat excursion from Positano to Capri for the day. It was amazing! Our captain, Hermes, was polite and knowledgeable. The boat itself was spacious and comfortable. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a tour out to Capri.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, was a pleasure!! Cheers 😃👋

Private tour to Capri and Amalfi Coast
We had the best day out on the water with our captain Hermes exploring Capri and the Amalfi Coast! He was super friendly, easygoing, and clearly knew the area really well. He took us to some amazing hidden spots to swim and relax, and gave us just the right amount of local info without overloading us. We stopped for a wonderful lunch with amazing views. The boat was super comfortable and clean, and everything felt really well taken care of. We never felt rushed—he let us go at our own pace and made sure we were always having a good time. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water! Want me to include any specific places you stopped or something unique he did? We had the best day out on the water with our captain exploring Capri and the Amalfi Coast!

Private Boat Tour of Capri Island: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Private Boat Tour of Capri Island cost?
+
Prices start at $2,231 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 Private Boat Tour of Capri Island 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 Positano is not rushed.
Is Private Boat Tour of Capri Island worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private Boat Tour of Capri Island?
+
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 Island 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 Island?
+
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 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Boat Tour of Capri Island 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 Private Boat Tour of Capri Island?
+
Included: Carbonated beverages. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Private Boat Tour of Capri Island offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Boat Tour of Capri Island?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Boat Tour of Capri Island wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
