About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Rustydancer0 contributionsGreat staff, great comfy boat ride.. the rest forget about it.Great day and well looked after by the staff. Boat trip a treat, great driver who picked me up near hotel. But state clearly please that it’s opposite L’Cento Garden Bar not Near. House numbers mean nothing around here. Capri itself is overpriced, overrun with tourists and guides trying to walk them in single file.it’s organised chaos packed with designer shops. I wouldn’t recommend the trip to anyone.Written 3 October 2024
- kimsX5429GL0 contributionsUnforgettable Experience!Our boat tour to Capri from Sorrento was absolutely amazing! Our captain, Norro, and our guide, Francesca, were fantastic!

- johnvstel0 contributionsAbsolutely wonderfulOur tour was led by Louisa (tour guide) and Giuseppe (captain) for the Sorrento to Capri tour. I couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone interested in the area. Louisa was wonderful at showing us the sites and keeping everyone entertained, Giuseppe was able to get us to everywhere we wanted to go very smoothly. 110% worth the price!Written 1 October 2024

- W9377GYmichaell0 contributionsFun day with Anna and LucaAnna and Luca were excellent! The boat ride was definitely the highlight of our day. We weren’t able to get into the Blue Gratto which was disappointing, but the rest of the boat stops were beautiful. The stop at Capri was just okay. We got dropped off there in the morning when there wasn’t much to do, and we did not get many directions or advice, so we spent most of the time just walking around. It also cost an extra 20 € a person just to take the bus to get around the island (which was a bit frustrating we weren’t told beforehand like the other additional costs) Probably could have done without the Capri stop. But, we loved being on the boat with Anna and Luca.Written 1 October 2024

Beautiful way to see the coast.Written 29 September 2024

Absolutely loved the day! Our skipper Alexander Raf was fantastic, Ex Italian Navy and completely professional throughout the day, if we needed a snack or a drink it was already in your hand! He looked after all of us as if we were his own crew and made the tour what it was. I also took my drone and was able to get incredible pictures with it, they also stopped the boat when I needed to land it and did not hesitate about anything. All in all an amazing day and highly recommended. The skipper and the pilot were both lovely, funny, ecstatic and most of all caring. Couldn't ask for more from a trip! Thank you very much guys!

My family were guests of Federico on the full island boat tour with swimming earlier this week, and had an amazing time. Federico made sure all of the 12 guests on the boat felt as though they received individual attention, as he skillfully piloted the boat from Sorrento to Capri while simultaneously educating us about the island and providing us with snacks and drinks. He took the time to patiently answer questions, found refreshing and safe areas for us to swim, and even gave us great advice on how best to explore Capri once we landed on the island. It truly was full-service from start to finish and I would highly recommend You Know! and Federico to anyone.

This activity is a MUST!!
For reference our guide was Francesca and our skipper was Nello. Both were very kind and professional, and Nello went out of his way to stop and turn our boat to help a passenger get a particular photo and also offered to take a photo of my friend and I when he noticed we didn’t get one in a particular location. Overall were in great hands with Francesca and Nello.
I had done a boat excursion in Capri before but never with this company. We were looking for something that wouldn’t take our entire day, that we can enjoy the sun, the water and some snacks, and this trip had it all! It does not visit the most famous grotto because the line is generally long to get in, it also costs extra, and this was perfect for us, the other grottos that we saw were probably just as impressive, and as it turns out, the blue grotto was not accessible by boat while we were there anyway due to the high tide. My best friend and I sat at the head of the boat where there’s a soft mat-like covering, we put down our beach towels and enjoyed the endless views and gorgeous weather. (tip: sit on the right side of the boat for the best views) There’s also a seated shaded area towards the back of the boat if you prefer to not be in the full sun. They offered us water, snacks, fruit, prosecco, limoncello and a desert at different times during the ride. The swim in the gorgeous water was easily one of my favourite parts. They even had some noodles to borrow that my friend used in case you are nervous about the water. All in all a perfect experience on this boat ride in capri.

Francesca and Nello were our amazing guides. Nello was driving the boat all aroud Capri and the grottes. Good work Nello chapeau!
Francesca did a great job by telling us what we were looking at and giving background information.
We were on the boat for a good 4 hours and having a lot of fun. There was good music on the boat and we have got a lunch so we could spent our time on the island. We visited Annacapri (with the cablecar) and Capri itself. Amazing views!
We were given drinks during our ride along Capri and had Prosecco and romantic music when we passed through the Rock of Love. When the sun was going down we were drinking Limoncello until we arrived in Sorrento and had the best day ever. We loved this tour! Thanks to Francesca and Nello. Highly recommended..it is worth it.

It started rather bad since the boat was 20 minutes late but it didn't impact he overall experience. Our captain and his assistant was very enthusiastic and tried there best to make us special even though they probably to this several times a day every week so all cudos the them! The boat ride round capri was fun and informative around the history of the island. You probably get möte out of this kind of trip alone or from a yacht but for the proce at 150 euro per person you got very much for the money! 3-4 plus experience but Manuel, our captain made the experience worthy of a 5!

I want to personally thank Capitan Giacono and guide Luisa for an amazing half day to Capri! First of, Luisa’s positive attitude is super catchy and she made us all smile the whole trip! She was also super knowledgeable and some people were sitting in front and some were in the back and she made sure that everyone got the information/facts about the sights we were passing by.
The Capitan Giacono was absolutely the best! He went to the best spots for swimming, found the clearest water, drove us through tiniest places like a PRO! He was also very friendly and sweet!
Lastly, the food and drinks were so fresh and kept coming all 4 hrs of the trip! You made the whole group very happy! You know boat service is a super organized company, including hotel pick up/drop off.
Many thanks!

If you plan to go to Capri don't miss this incredible tour. Everything is just perfect: from the communication before the tour, through the customer care on board... Federico went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and very spoilt. We booked a 12 pax tour but ended up to be just the two of us ("perks" of the Covid time): he took us to great spots, told us few stories, made sure we stopped at great caves to swim. Snacks, drinks and limoncello all part of the adventure. If you want a treat just book this tour, you wont regret it. Everything was simply fantastic!

I enjoyed the boat tour around the island, but the organization and instructions were very chaotic. We had to arrive 40 min early to check in and switch boats multiple times. They did not tell us we had to pay an additional tourist tax in cash, so we were unprepared for that. Hard to hear & understand the tour guide at times. It was a nice way to get to Capri over the public ferry, but I probably would not do it again.

Francesca and Nello were wonderful guides on this trip. We were provided with a ciabbata sandwich for the time we spent on Capri. The options were taking a bus to Anacapri (an extra $15 per person) to ride the cable car and then taking the bus to Capri to shop and walk around the town. I would recommend doing this to minimize walking.
We returned to the boat at 2:00 to visit the Blue Grotto (there was an hour wait that day - so many boats lined up - so we could not do that part of the tour). We continued on to anchor and swim in the beautiful waters along the coast and saw the Faraglioni rocks and the Punta Carena lighthouse. Truly amazing. We had fruit, champagne, little cake snacks and limoncello on the boat. Our guides also had soft drinks and beer.
I highly recommend this trip!

My husband and I loved this boat tour. I let our guide, Roberta, know that I tend to get seasick. She and the captain, Nino, took excellent care of me and I did not experience any motion sickness that day. They let me be the last one on and first one off the boat, including while swimming in the Mediterranean, and checked in with me each time the boat went fast or through choppy waters to make sure I was okay. I thoroughly appreciated their care. They also provided a great tour of Capri and created a fun, relaxing environment. I highly recommend this experience!

we took the trip from Napoli. We met at the train station at 8:30am. I don’t think u can start in Capri because half the fun was the boat ride from Naples to Capri and stopping to jump into the sea.
