    Day charter in Capri

    Tony and Alberto were great guides. Friendly, and attentive. We had a private 40ft. charter which had a cabin to change and was very much as it was shown on their website. We had a tender for the day with the Ritz Yacht Collection and they coordinated with the ship and made the connection seamless. My only recommendation would be to ask for an option to have lunch up in the town center where the atmosphere is much more in line with what I would have preferred had I known (as this was our first visit to Capri). Bring swimsuits for a very much needed refreshing swim. They have spots to do that and they were some of the best moments of the trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 😊 It was a pleasure welcoming you on board and coordinating your pickup from the Ritz Yacht Collection. We're delighted to hear that everything went smoothly and that the boat met your expectations. We're especially happy that you enjoyed the swimming stops—those crystal-clear waters are truly one of the highlights of the experience! Thank you as well for your valuable suggestion regarding lunch in Capri town. We always tailor the itinerary to our guests' preferences, and for future visits we'll be happy to recommend the town center if you're looking for a more vibrant atmosphere. We truly appreciate your kind words about Tony and Alberto, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable day at sea! 🚤☀️🍋

    All great, snacks could be better and very rushed and choppy!!!! beautiful place though. jumpy, jumpy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had an overall good experience. We appreciate your comments regarding the snacks and will take them into consideration as we continuously work to improve our service.

    Private Boat Tour to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.

    How much does Private Boat Tour to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $744 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 to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience 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 to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 59 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 to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience?

    +

    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 to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience 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 to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience?

    +

    Around 21 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 to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience 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.

    What is included in Private Boat Tour to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience?

    +

    Included: Drinks (Coca Cola, Coca Zero, Lemonsoda, Beer, Limoncello, Prosecco); Snorkeling masks; Snack - Appetizer; Toilet on board; and Skipper. Not included: Surcharges on fuel; and Blue Grotto entrance OPTIONAL. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Is Private Boat Tour to Capri from Sorrento – Exclusive Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
