How does a private boat charter from Capri work?
Updated June 2026
A private boat charter from Capri is a full or half day on a boat reserved just for your group, departing Capri's port with a professional skipper. Prices run from €2,400 to €4,680 per day depending on the boat, which seats up to 6 or 8 guests. You book by request and a BlueKeys concierge confirms the boat and date; there is no instant payment. By sea you can reach the Faraglioni, the Blue Grotto, Marina Piccola, the Punta Carena lighthouse and Nerano bay on the mainland.
Capri is best seen from the water. The island drops almost vertically into the sea, so the most striking parts of the coast - the towering Faraglioni stacks, the sea caves, the sheer rock walls below Anacapri - simply cannot be reached on foot. With a private boat and skipper, you spend the day moving along this coastline at your own pace: pausing to swim where the water is deepest blue, ducking into grottoes when the light is right, and dropping anchor for lunch in a sheltered bay.
Your skipper knows the timing that matters here. The Blue Grotto opens and closes with the swell and the tide, the Faraglioni passage is calmest early, and the south-facing coast around the Punta Carena lighthouse holds the afternoon sun. A full day is enough to circle the entire island and still have hours to swim and relax; a shorter trip focuses on the highlights closest to the port. Two boats operate from Capri - the Pershing 37 for up to 6 guests, and the larger Riva Rivarama 44 for up to 8.
Because the mainland is close, a Capri charter doesn't have to stay around the island. Nerano bay, on the Sorrento peninsula opposite, is a calm, protected stretch of water ideal for a long swim and a lunch at anchor, and the boat can just as easily point toward Positano, Amalfi or Sorrento for a coastal cruise. You tell the concierge what kind of day you want, and the route is built around it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book a private boat from Capri?
You send a request with your date and group size, and a BlueKeys concierge confirms the boat's availability and the final details. There is no instant online payment - we check the boat is free before anything is confirmed.
Is a skipper included?
Yes. Every charter comes with a professional skipper who handles the boat, plans the route around sea and tide conditions, and knows the best spots to swim and visit. You never drive the boat yourself.
Is fuel included in the price?
It depends on the boat. Fuel is sometimes included and sometimes charged on top based on the route and distance covered. The concierge confirms exactly what's included for your chosen boat when you book.
Do I need a boating licence?
No. Because a professional skipper is always on board, no licence or boating experience is required from you or your guests. You just relax and enjoy the day.
How many guests can come, and where can we go?
It depends on the boat: the Pershing 37 takes up to 6 guests and the Riva Rivarama 44 takes up to 8. By sea you can reach the Faraglioni, the Blue Grotto, Marina Piccola and the Punta Carena lighthouse around the island, plus Nerano bay on the mainland and cruises toward Positano, Amalfi or Sorrento.
