Capri Tours

Capri boat tours from Sorrento start from €65 per person for a group departure including the sea crossing and guided island time. Private boat charters to Capri range from €400 to €900 depending on the boat and duration. Blue Grotto entry (approximately €16) and island transport (cable car, chairlift) are additional costs paid on site.

A dedicated tour boat is far better for the experience. Public ferries are convenient for independent travellers but offer no stops, no guide and no flexibility. A BlueKeys boat pauses at the Faraglioni, includes a Blue Grotto stop and provides personal attention from a local skipper throughout. For groups, the cost difference is minimal.

A standard Capri day tour from Sorrento runs approximately 8–9 hours: 25 minutes crossing each way, 1–2 hours at sea around the island (Blue Grotto, Faraglioni, natural arch), and 4–5 hours on the island itself. Our earliest departures leave around 9:00 and return around 17:30–18:00.

Yes, all our Capri tours include a Blue Grotto stop. However, entry inside the grotto depends on sea conditions — if the swell exceeds 40 cm, the entrance is too low to enter safely and remains closed. This happens on approximately 25–30% of days. In this case we tour around the grotto exterior, which is still spectacular.

Capri has remarkable variety: the Piazzetta and luxury shopping in Capri Town; the Gardens of Augustus with Faraglioni views; the Villa San Michele in Anacapri; the Monte Solaro chairlift (589 m); swimming at the Marina Piccola beach; hiking the Via Krupp; and boat tours around the entire island perimeter past sea caves, natural arches and the White Grotto.

May, June and September are ideal — warm weather, open Blue Grotto, and manageable crowds. July and August are very crowded and some visitor restrictions apply. April and October are quieter but the Blue Grotto may close more frequently due to weather. Avoid arriving in Capri between 11:00 and 14:00 when cruise ship passengers are on the island.

Yes, absolutely. Capri is easily done as a day trip from Sorrento (25 min by fast ferry or boat), Positano (55 min) or Amalfi (75 min). We recommend departing as early as possible — 8:30–9:00 from Sorrento — to maximise your time on the island before the crowds arrive. Our tours handle all logistics so you can focus on the experience.
