Capri & Blue Grotto Small Group Boat Day Trip from Sorrento

So when my partner and I were first planning our romantic Amalfi Coast vacation we hesitated a bit on a small boat tour due to the cost and various boat size options and tours available. We eventually went with this, the smallest (non private) boat we could get and hands down it was not only the best experience but also the best value of our entire trip!! Every single minute of our day on this tour was an absolute joy and our 2-man crew could not have treated us and the family of 6 which joined along with us any better. They treated us all like family from the first minute we arrived! The tour itself started with a 30 min cruise out to the island being served drinks (wine and beer) from the moment we stepped on the boat and pointing out historical ruins around Sorrento as we left. NOTE: Although the tour states entrance options to the Blue Grotto they showed us the crowd waiting to get in and basically talked us out of it as not worth the extra time and expense which in hindsight was absolutely the right call. Once we arrived at the island they gave us sandwiches to take with us as well as offered up their suggestions for how to best tour the island as well along with when and how to get back to the boat. We stayed with the family (which had quickly become friends) and ended up taking the chairlift up to Anacapri, relaxing in the shade at the bar and enjoying a couple hours of the spectacular views. From there we went back down and walked around Capri by the docks until the captain met us with the boat. From there we spent an hour or so slowly cruising around the island with more drinks and pointing out amazing rock formations and just the scenic beauty of it all. Finally, we anchored at a popular area for swimming and spent a glorious half hour or more diving off the boat and swimming up to and around the rocks of the cliff before cruising back to Sorrento. We did and saw many amazing things on the Amalfi Coast during our visit but hands down nothing was as enjoyable or relaxing as our day spent on the boat and island with this most fantastic tour company! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough nor suggest strongly enough to book the smallest group tour boat you can find (in our case this one, 8 people max). It's hard to imagine going back without doing this tour all over again. Don't let the cost dissuade you, it's worth every single penny and will hopefully make your vacation as enjoyable as ours!

Traveled with Italyure yachts. We did the tour from Sorento to Capri. Our boat crew were Pepe and Fernando. Highly recommend booking and requesting these two. Both were very informative and showed us a great time. They did two beautiful stops for a swim, took us in for a magnificent lunch. Finished the and cruise off with a lemon cello tasting.

Marika, Francesco and Captain Antonio did an amazing job showing off the coast and many other beautiful caves around the island of Capri. This private tour was certainly worth it as we did everything on our own timeline and explored the area as the captain recommended. This was certainly an item on the bucket list, I certainly recommend it.
