Best Boat Tour Experience
Rosa our guide was a lot of fun!! Salvatore was our captain and he was so impressive with the maneuvering of the boat. We had sunshine on the way to Capri. The boat took a swim stop and we swam through a channel or tunnel in the rock, was incredible!! This tour was the best experience of the trip. The weather was out of their control and rainy, however, we huddled together on the boat, had beer and prosecco as well as a dance party on the way back to Sorrento. Highly recommend this tour, they gave great recommendations for the time on Capri and made the best of this fabulous adventure.

Highlight of our trip to Sorrento
Couldn’t fault our boat trip to Capri, being on the boat was actually the highlight of the tour - super relaxing with a great selection of music and a swim off of the boat in calm beautiful blue waters. Snacks and drinks provided as listed, would highly recommend this tour.

Don't miss out on this tour!
This was my favorite excursion I did in Italy. Sara and Tony were so fun and you can also tell that both are very comfortable with the water. Tony was our captain and the ride was smooth. Sara was knowledgeable and very sweet. We got to swim with fishes, we got lemoncello shots at the end, and it was the perfect size group (10) to travel with. DEF DO THIS!

Fun boat ride to Capri
We enjoyed our boat trip to Capri last week. Our guide, Roberto, was entertaining and fun. He did a great job pointing out interesting sites along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again as a guide. Our captain, Tony, did an awesome job as well!

Fun On The Water and On Capri
We really wanted a small group boat tour and did not want to see the Blue Grotto (or wait for long periods of time to see it) and this tour filled both needs. There were 10 people on the boat. We thought we would swim and see the island first then change into dry clothes to see Capri but we were dropped off on Capri first - which was so much better. Our boats guides advised us to go up to AnaCapri first and then come back down to Capri. They explained about how the transportation worked on the island. All great information! We went to Anacapri first and did the chair lift to the top. It was a great experience, and the views are amazing on the ride up and at the top! When we came down, the line was twice as long as when we started so we were grateful for the advice to go there earlier. The chair lift line does move fairly quickly. We had five hours in Capri/Anacapri. Then back on the boat to swim and tour around the island. It was so beautiful. The Faraglioni rocks were a highlight for me personally. The crew took pictures of everyone with the rocks in the background. We had prosecco and a limoncello shot along the way around the island. For my friends and I, it was our final tour on our Italian vacation, and I can't think of a better way to do it!!

Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island 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 Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 973 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island 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 Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island 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 Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island from Sorrento?
+
Around 341 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 Small Group Boat Day Excursion to Capri Island 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.
