    Amazing experience with O'Sole Mio. Book now!

    We had an amazing day with Captain Fabrizio. We did the Positano and Capri option and loved every second. The boat was is great condition and had everything we needed. Fabrizio provided fruits and cheeses, beer and champagne, sunscreen and towels, and even swimming equipment like noodles and snorkeling masks. Fabrizio is what made our day so special. He was timely, polite, friendly, hospitable, and even acted as tour guide as we cruised along the coast. He is the owner of the company so working with him was very easy leading up to the boat day. I cannot recommend Fabrizio and O'Sole Mio Charters enough. Book your trip!

    Response from the operator: Hi Cristian, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure having you on board for your Positano and Capri experience. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed every moment and appreciated all the little details we provide to make the day as comfortable and special as possible. Your kind words about the boat, the hospitality. I'm passionate about sharing the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and Capri with my guests, so knowing that he helped make your day memorable is the best compliment we could receive. Thank you again for choosing O'Sole Mio Charter and for recommending us so warmly. Hope to welcome you back on board again in the future for another unforgettable day at sea! Warm regards, O'Sole Mio Charter

    An Unforgettable Day on the Water with 'O Sole Mio Charter!

    We had the absolute best time on our boat ride from beginning to end! Even before we booked, Fabrizio was incredibly helpful and answered every single question I had right away. His communication was exceptional throughout the whole process! Once we stepped onboard, his hospitality was next-level. Fabrizio is so friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home.The boat itself was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and had plenty of room for the 6 of us to relax comfortably. It even had a very convenient and comfortable area below deck where we were able to easily get changed. Fabrizio went above and beyond by serving us fresh fruit, tarale, and limoncello, which made the day feel extra special. We loved being able to jump into the beautiful ocean to swim. He also took us to Capri and gave us plenty of time to walk around and shop, which was amazing. To top it all off, he took us to a fantastic restaurant right on the water for an amazing meal. It was a perfect day and truly the highlight of our trip. Fabrizio put his heart and soul into making sure our day was spectacular and memorable!! I cannot recommend 'O Sole Mio Charter enough—if you are thinking about booking with Fabrizio, just do it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words! 🙏 I'm so touched reading this, I always puts his heart into making every trip special, and it's wonderful to hear it truly made your day! We're thrilled you loved the boat, the swim, Capri, and that lunch spot by the water. Thank you for recommending us so warmly, hope to welcome you back aboard soon!

    Private Capri Tour Done Right

    Very fun tour! I booked directly with O' Sole Mio Charter via WhatsApp for a private Capri tour, and everything about it was seamless — pickup and drop-off were both right on time, and the boat itself was spacious and comfortable. Our first stop was the famously touristy Blue Grotto, and our captain managed to get us in without the usual hour-long wait (a small tip to the rowman there helped). It's a truly unique, must-do experience, and we were so grateful to skip the line. From there, we cruised around Capri while our captain pointed out all the major highlights — he's a great storyteller and clearly knows the island well, which made for some great photo ops. We stopped at a beach restaurant for lunch (the food was excellent), then went for a swim in the warm, crystal-clear water. After a bit more exploring, we headed back to our base in Positano, with the captain snapping some beautiful photos of us along the way. Turns out photography is his "second job," and it definitely showed. All in all, it was a fantastic day — the snacks, champagne, and endless water and drinks were a great touch. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Wow, thank you for such a detailed review, John! 😊 So happy the private Capri tour checked every box, smooth pickup, comfy boat, and that Blue Grotto skip-the-line moment! I'm delighted to hear the compliments (photography included 📸). Hope to have you back on board again soon! ⛵

    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 $1,432 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 49 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 17 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 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 Tour of Capri and the Blue Grotto from Sorrento?

    +

    Included: Prosecco, limoncello, beer; Snacks; Toilet on board; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Wi-Fi. Not included: Gratuities; The Blue Grotto ticket 18 euros per person; and anding and/or facility fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
