    The Perfect Day Trip to Capri

    Our full-day tour of Capri with MBS Blu Charter was an excellent experience from start to finish! The meeting instructions were clear, and everything was incredibly well organized. There were plenty of staff members wearing MBS blue shirts upon arrival at the meeting point to help guide everyone, and we were promptly escorted onto our boat. With only 12 people on board, the experience felt comfortable and personal. The tour included a private boat ride around Capri, 3.5 hours of free time to explore the island, and a swim stop on the way back to Sorrento. Our guide, Fernando, was absolutely outstanding! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humor that kept us entertained throughout the day. He explained everything about Capri, took photos for us, and treated us to prosecco, beer, and fresh fruit. He truly went above and beyond to make the experience fun and memorable. A big shout-out to our boat captain, Gigi, as well! Overall, this was a fantastic tour with excellent organization, a wonderful crew, and beautiful scenery. I would highly recommend MBS Blu Charter to anyone visiting Capri!

    We went with Fernando &...

    We went with Fernando & Neno the were so much fun. They truly made the ride so memorable. The company just needs a better way of letting people know where they are for arrival. We went crazy looking all over where we were to meet. Capri was very busy so many people hard to do anything. But the boat ride & water was outstanding!!

    Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore cost?

    +

    Prices start at $113 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 Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore 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 Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 660 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore?

    +

    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 Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore 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 Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore?

    +

    Around 231 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 Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore 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 Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore?

    +

    Included: Soft drink, water and beer; Scuba masks and life jackets on board; Fuel; Bottle of wine per boat; and Restroom on board and outdoor shower. Not included: Fee for assistance and reception service at embarkation and disembarkation; Blue Grotto entrance ticket (optional). Stop not guaranteed; Beach towels; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore?

    What languages is Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore?

    +

    Is Sorrento: Capri Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim & 4 hour ashore wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
