We were then dropped off at a dock and were provided light breakfast during our orientation and then we were escorted onto a speed boat to begin the adventure.

Full Day Private Tour from Sorrento to Capri by speedboat

12.Full Day Private Tour from Sorrento to Capri by speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 71 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $755 for the boat, seats 5

Take a seven-hour private speedboat from Sorrento to Capri with your own group of up to five. Stop at Bagni Regina Giovanna, the White and Green Grottos, Marina Piccola, Punta Carena, and possibly the Blue Grotto. Alex and Virginia may assist, though captain language can vary. Capri docking and Blue Grotto fees cost extra.

“A beautiful day on the water. Be mindful though that you need to pay 100euros to dock in Capri. They give you a workaround option of booking a table at a seaside restaurant. But it is very expensive and it is not close to the town. We skipped visiting the township because we had to wait so long for our meal. I would pay the 100euros and research and book your own restaurant near the town if you want to visit there.”

Guides such as Robin and Rian have been praised for helping swimmers spot turtles, rays, and coral life.

“Enjoyed the tour. We got to see 3 manta rays but only one of them were at the first snorkeling stop. When we got to Turtle Bay seeing the manta swim with the schools of fish were magical. Then seeing a few sea turtles just doing their thing, unbothered by swimmers, was stunning. The reefs and Coral are so beautiful here. What I like about the guides when you're in the water is they come up above the water to call people over so they regularly keep you together, and tell you when they see something really cool so you can see it too. The boat was nice and well…”
