Best day of our holiday!
The best day of our holiday!! An excellent day with an excellent host, Raphael. Collected first thing in the morning in a very nice and clean minibus, and taken straight to the boat. Jumping off the boat into the hot sea with tropical fish was just incredible. Then coming on board again to a cold Peroni!? Magic! Even my 9 year old son was jumping off the side into the sea and loved it. You have to be aware that, ‘the optional Blue Grotto’ is due to potentially high tides or choppy water. That’s why it’s optional. We didn’t get to go into the cave, however, this did not make a slight difference to our day. Wonderful experience, highly recommend it.

Amazing Private Boat tour of Capri
Amazing Day on a private tour from Massa Lubrense (Sorrento) to Capri. Our captain (Lorenzo) and our guide (Renzo) were amazing. Once we boarded the boat we were able to completely customize our day. We cruised completely around the island of Capri and saw all of it from the water with stops at special grotto's and swim spots. We were then dropped off in Capri for our own exploring of the island and when we were done, with a quick phone call we were picked up and off again to explore by water and take another amazing swim. Our captain Lorenzo was quite the skilled captain, taking us super close to the grottos and sights on the island. Our guide Renzo was super knowledgeable and there was not a question he couldn't answer (even if off the topic of Capri). It was the best way ever to visit and learn about all the treasures of Capri. Highly recommend.

Excellent
From start to finish this was an excellent tour! We were picked up and taken to the Marina, met our Captain Renzo who was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about Capri and the the places to see and experience along the way. Renzo was a very competent captain and host. He was very pleasant and helpful with suggestions. Our first stop was the blue Grotto for the most amazing experience. Renzo took us to several locations for excellent swimming experiences. He was very thoughtful with pool noodles and googles as well. Renzo was a wealth of knowledge and full of the most interesting facts. Renzo made the experience so pleasurable and entertaining. I would rate this experience a 10 out of 10! I would book with him and Lorenz Boats again for sure!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sorrento: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Sorrento: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto cost?
+
Prices start at $1300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Positano usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sorrento: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto 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 Positano is not rushed.
Is Sorrento: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Positano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sorrento: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto?
+
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: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto 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: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto?
+
Around 10 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 Positano 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 Positano and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sorrento: Exclusive Capri Private Boat Tour & Blue Grotto 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 Positano 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 Positano?
+
On Outty we rank every Positano experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cooking class with Pasta, mozzarella and Tiramisu with wine, Capri and Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Day Trip from Sorrento, From Sorrento: Positano & Amalfi Coast Boat Tour with Pick Up. 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 Positano?
+
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 Positano?
+
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.
