Full Day Private Tour from Sorrento to Capri by speedboat

13.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.”

Tips: remember to bring lunch, we forgot and there’s nowhere to buy food aside from the first stop! Also consider bringing a floatie device if swimming in deep water makes you nervous.”
