Pass by without stopping
Bagni Regina Giovanna
The Baths of the Queen Joan are located on the promontory of Punta Capo in Sorrento, to be precise they are located on the coast of the Protected Marine Area of Punta Campanella. It is a magnificent natural swimming pool just a few steps from the center of Sorrento, a small natural oasis. The Baths are also an archaeological site characterized by history and nature, the remains of the villa of Pollio Felice are surrounded by a crazy sea and crystal clear water.

Marina della Lobra - Spiaggia e Borgo Marinaro
The place has all the characteristics of the typical fishing village of southern Italy: houses perched on each other connected by stairs and walks, restaurants on the sea and a small marina. An exceptional and little known place, suggestive at dawn and sunset thanks to its glimpses, immersed among the lemon groves and shrubs typical of the Mediterranean scrub.
Pass by without stopping
Punta Campanella
Punta Campanella is the extreme tip of the Sorrento peninsula. In front there is only the sea and the island of Capri. A place on the border between land and sea, which since ancient times has been covered with a sacred aura. Here Ulysses met the sirens and had a temple erected to the goddess Minerva who had protected his journey.
Pass by without stopping
Blue Grotto
It is the most famous attraction of Capri. People from all over the world come to see it, even for a few minutes. At its entrance long queues form. It is the Blue Cave: 25 meters wide and 60 meters long with an entrance less than one meter high. To enter you must lie on the bottom of a rowing boat that slides through the small arch. Inside you find yourself floating in the dark, on a water so blue to seem transparent. Access to the site is subject to favorable weather and sea conditions.

Punta Carena Lighthouse
Cruising along the coast, look up to see this iconic pink lighthouse standing on the edge of the island. It marks the southwestern corner of Capri and offers a dramatic backdrop for photos against the rugged cliffs
Pass by without stopping
Grotta Verde
A magical cave where the water shimmers in vivid green, offering a truly unforgettable experience thanks to the sunlight transforming the sea into a mesmerizing emerald wonder hidden in Capri’s cliffs.
10 minutes here
Capri
Time to disembark at Capri. You have free time to visit the island on your own. You can choose to visit the glamorous Capri town for shopping and the Gardens of Augustus, or take a taxi/bus up to Anacapri for the chairlift to Monte Solaro. We will agree on a meeting time and point for re-boarding to continue our boat tour.
180 minutes here
Spiaggia di Marina Piccola
The bay of Marina Piccola is the right place to go if you are looking for a beach with views of the Faraglioni. Marina Piccola is located on the south side of the island, protected behind by a steep rock wall: for this it is always warm and poorly ventilated and the best place to take a swim!
60 minutes here
Faraglioni
Think about Capri. The first image that comes to mind is surely that of the Faraglioni: three peaks of rock rising from the sea a few meters from the coast. Each Faraglione has a name: the first one united to the land is called Stella, the second, separated from the first by a stretch of sea, Faraglione di Mezzo and the third Faraglione di Fuori or Scopolo, that is cape or promontory on the sea
15 minutes here
White Grotta
See the White Grotto of Capri, a hidden sea cave where sunlight turns the waters into dazzling shades of silver and white.

Best day of the vacation
We had an amazing time with Austin! He took us all around and showed us all the spots and grottos. He told us about the history and was very knowledgeable. This was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend!

An out of this world experience!
My husband and I spent 15 days of September in Italy, and our day on the boat was probably our favorite day of the whole trip! We splurged and reserved the boat just for the two of us, and it was absolutely luxurious. Our captain, Riccardo, was simply the best. He is an expert captain and so skilled at maneuvering the sea! What’s more, he pointed out landmarks, explained the history of various sites, attended to our needs, and was extremely kind and accommodating. My husband and I went ashore to have lunch on Capri, but the crowds were massive and as soon as we finished eating, we wanted back on the boat! The feeling we had, leaving the chaos of Capri Town while lounging on the front of our Sparviero sipping a glass of prosecco, was simply unmatched! The views of stunning Capri from the water were unlike anything we could have imagined. Riccardo and his skill, knowledge, and attentiveness made this an experience we will never forget. What an incredible day. We would highly recommend this tour!

Private Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $401 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 42 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento?
+
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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento?
+
Around 15 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento 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.
