Capri is the day everyone books, and the boat you choose shapes all of it. Below are the best Capri boat trips from Sorrento: which ones lap the Faraglioni, which make the Blue Grotto, how long you get on the island, and what each seat costs, so you can pick the right one before the summer dates fill.
Small-boat cruise from Sorrento to Capri with snorkeling, 4 hours ashore, and an optional Blue Grotto timed to reduce waiting.
“Really nice experience! The captain and the rest of the crew were really nice and explained everything so that we could make the most of it. Grazie mille”
Small-group boat day from Sorrento to Capri with early Blue Grotto timing, grottos and Faraglioni views, plus snorkeling and free time on Capri.
“Our skipper was attentive and showed us some lovely places by the coastline. He made sure we had drinks and some lovely fruit. I would say though that the Grotto was a rip off, I would not do it again (not the skippers fault of course!) What really bothered us though was the constant reminders from the skipper and the boats at the Grotto to tip them. We are always happy to tip (and we did tip everyone!) but to be told every hour or so to tip, tip, tip and then the expectation when we were arriving that we should be tipping the skipper 20 euro per person (!)…”
Small-group Capri boat day from Sorrento with grottos, swimming, drinks, lunch, and hotel pickup. Blue Grotto ticket extra.
“We had such a great time on our trip! We didn't get to see the Blue Grotto due to high tides, but our boat captains made up for it. They took us to another inlet which had beautiful turquoise water. The drinks flowed, the music was great and the company was fantastic. We also had an amazing time on Capri. I highly suggest eating at Billy's Bar. The views are amazing and the food was delicious. I would 100% do this excursion again in the future!”
Small-group Capri speedboat day from Sorrento with swimming, snorkeling, and a best-chance Blue Grotto visit (weather dependent).
“Our trip was led by Vincenzo and Elena. They were absolutely amazing from start to finish, we couldn’t have asked for better hosts! Elena gave the factual information in a fun manner, so it didn’t feel like a history lesson and really made all on the boat feel warm and welcome. We have been on another boat tour during our trip to Sorrento, and this has definitely been the best experience. Thank you so much- we couldn’t have asked for more!”
Capri by small-group boat from Sorrento with grottos, Faraglioni views, a swim stop, and 3 to 4 hours on the island.
“The boat trip and crew were very good. The organization and transferring us before we got to boat was horrible. No one said anything to us it introduced them selves. If we didn’t see them walking in one direction we would not have known where to go. Not one word from anyone.”
Jetfoil from Naples or Sorrento to Capri with Anacapri, Villa San Michele, chairlift views, and Blue Grotto when sea conditions allow.
“Four adults travelling. Our guide was very welcoming and helpful throughout the trip. We travelled towards the end of October so we were very lucky not to have to wait on line for all of the attractions. The island was beautiful and well worth visiting. We got to visit the Blue Grotto, without queues, so were very fortunate to have that extra time. The chair lift to Montesolaro was the highlight for me, views fantastic. Ana-Capri was lovely and was the location for shopping & lunch. Capri itself- full of designer shops and expensive so I personally would have preferred to have that time at the port instead. Our guide…”
Small-group Capri boat day from Sorrento with hotel pickup, cave-and-views cruise, a swim stop, and hours on Capri for Piazzetta wandering.
“100% would recommend! The staff was fun and learned a lot throughout our stops. I did not realize they would stop at the blue grotto as it said it was optional but they do stop and it is just not included in the price at the time of booking if you want to do it. I would recommend planning your time on the island ahead of time since some of that time is taken up by getting up to where you wanna go and back down to the marina.”
Private Capri boat tour from Sorrento, Positano, or Capri with snorkeling gear, cave stops, Faraglioni, and emerald-water swim time.
“We had an absolutely amazing day out on the boat with Lorenzo. He is the epitome of Italian hospitality! He took us all the way around Capri by boat, showed us a great place for lunch and then waited while we toured a little bit of Capri. He was very knowledgeable, and friendly, and an absolutely skilled captain. Would highly recommend this excursion!”

“Small boat with only 8 people. So if it rains even then enough room under shelter. Very helpful and polite people.”
Small-group Capri boat day from Sorrento with grotto stops, a swim, and about 4 hours on Capri, plus drinks and masks.
“This was the best excursion of our trip to Italy. The crew made the trip fun and exiting. The way they showed joy for each and every landmark of Capri made the trip even better.”
Small-group boat cruise from Sorrento to Capri with hotel pickup, grotto views, swim stops, and 4 hours on the island.
“This boat cruise was such a fun day and the perfect start to our weeklong trip to the Amalfi Coast! The crew, Viviana and Tony (the Captain!) were great - telling jokes and entertaining us with stories throughout the day. The crew gave us great insider tips on the best ways to get around the island to maximize our time and see the sites we were interested in. We also enjoyed Giovanni's mini-tour to Anacapri - he was highly entertaining! We spent four hours in the morning on the island. This ended up working out perfectly because the island was so busy by the time we left. We then spent…”
Fast boat from Nerano to Capri with onboard guide tips, 6 hours on your own, plus Ieranto Bay and a full-circle return cruise.
“Fantastic! From pick up to drop off everything was so well organised. The guides were great, giving all the information you need to enjoy your time in Capri and Ana Capri. On the boat they offer a shuttle bus service (26 euros pp) from the marina up to Capri where you have approx one and a half hours to explore, they will then pick up and take you to Ana Capri where you have two and a half hours to explore, you are then picked up and taken back to the marina for approx half an hour until the boat arrives. The boat trip back to Sorrento was so beautiful…”
Sorrento to Capri by small boat with grottos, swim stops, snorkeling gear, drinks, and 4 hours to explore the Piazzetta.
“Our Captain Mario and First mate Orlando were both very knowledgeable of the area and helpful with excellent service during the boat cruise around Capri Island, giving us tips on things to do in our free time there. Also served as photographers for everyone and great music onboard. Two great personalities enjoying their ‘jobs’ and taking care of business at the same time. We had perfect warm weather and calm seas which made for a great day. Will recommend this trip to friends who will be traveling there later this year.”
