Capri Boat Tour
Highlight of our trip to Italy! Our captain, Fabrizio, was so accommodating for our group which consisted of 2 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. He ensured the trip was safe, suitable and enjoyable - honouring our booking for another day due to bad weather on the day we had originally scheduled. Provided fruit, snacks, drinks, sunscreen & pool toys. Highly recommend - would book again in a heartbeat.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Lauren, for your wonderful review! I'm absolutely delighted to hear that your boat trip was one of the highlights of your Italy vacation. ❤️ It was a real pleasure having you and your family on board, and I'm so happy that I could make the experience comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, including your little ones! Truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation. I would love to welcome you all back on board again in the future. Until then, we wish you and your beautiful family many more unforgettable adventures! ☀️⛵️

A Must Do!
Our day on ‘O Sole Mio with Fabrizio was hands down the highlight of our entire week in Italy! We had two families with young adults ages 18 - 22 and they agreed. Every aspect of was exceptional! If you don’t book a day trip with Fabrizio you are definitely missing out!!

Best part of our Sorrento trip!
We had a fantastic day celebrating my 50th birthday! Communication prior to our tour was seamless. Fabrizio explained our options as soon as we boarded to ensure we experienced exactly what we wanted. We were an extended family with six adults and two children ages 15 and 12. We arrived at Capri early and followed Fabrizio’s instructions so that half of us could do the chair lift to Anacapri while the other half rode the funicular to Capri center. The blue grotto was closed due to wind but he took us to other beautiful grottos for sightseeing and swimming!! We enjoyed prosecco and limoncello as well as various Italian beer, soda and wine options. This private boat tour was worth every penny and the best part of our trip. I can’t recommend it more!!! Fabrizio was the best!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure celebrating your 50th birthday with you and your family. I'm so glad you enjoyed the day, even though the Blue Grotto was closed, and that we could make it a memorable experience. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot. I hope to welcome you back on board O' Sole Mio again soon!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $1250 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 Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto from Sorrento 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 Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". 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 Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto 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 Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto from Sorrento 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 Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto 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 Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine 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.
