"We had a magnificent day. Would do it again and again. Antonio, and Rosa added to this trip with great humor, warmth and knowledge of Capri. The chair lift in Annacapri is a must!!"

What Guests Say
"We had an amazing trip around Capri with boat. A perfect day with great guides."
"The boat trip over to Capri was brilliant, Roberto and Salvador were great, very informative and very good driver"
"I’m a stickler for customer service and this exceeded all expectations! Everyone helpful and attentive. Going around the island is a must! This tour allowed plenty of time to use chair lift, grab a bite to eat, shop and explore Ana Capri and Capri. If you have any questions, ask the service and they will explain how to get from point A to point B. Our guide, Antonio was excellent! He was the highlight of the trip and kept us entertained the whole trip. Explained all main sights: caves, houses of the rich and famous, island history, etc. Captain Salvatore took you into the caves- crazy! Excellent all around."
"Wonderful experience from pickups and drop off at our hotel the fantastic duo Mario and Roberto, our skipper and guide. We have a fantastic time between the accommodations, scenery and, last but not least, the wit of our exemplary hosts. Thank you Roberto and Mario for a memorable day!"
"We had the best day on our visit to the island of Capri. Pick up and drop off from our hotel made everything so easy! On the boat, super Mario, Bob & Pepe were fantastic hosts, very knowledgeable, friendly and made the time on the boat fun aswel as informative. On the island itself we travelled from the marina to Anacapri on the semi private blue bus. From there it was a very short walk to the chair lifts that take you to the top of Monte Solaro where we enjoyed the panoramic views. Once back down the chair lifts we caught the bus to Capri, grabbed a cannnoli & frozen lemon sorbet and we walked to the gardens of Augustus. I would recommend doing it this way as you can then return to the marina along via Krupp, which winds its way down the cliff side. All in all my wife and I really enjoyed our trip and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone, especially with Vervece Charter!"
"Really enjoyed my day, Joseph and Antonio were brilliant guides and made it very enjoyable for everyone"
"We had a fantastic day visiting Capri. Everything was first class and we couldn’t recommend it more. A big shout out to Mario, Roberto and Guisseppe who made the trip lots of fun and so enjoyable."

"What an awesome day! Joseph and Tony were excellent guides. Informative, funny, kind, professional, thoughtful. Our day trip to capri was a great success and a fantastic memory and experience. This company had it down. Picked us up at the hotel on time, got us to Capri quickly. Gave us tips on where to go and what to do. Highly highly recommend this company for the capri day trip!!"

"Amazing tour. We now understand why you have to see Capri by sea. Amazing tour, amazing guides, and a beautiful boat as well. More than adequate time to explore capri with the 4 hours given. Would highly recommend. Worth every Penny!"
"Had a fantastic time with roberto and mario , made the trip to and from the island fun and had some great tips once we got to the island. Would very much recommend this service."

"The operator was good communicating prior to the trip. Although the trip included a pickup at a hotel, we chose to meet at the marina and the operator shared the address and marina meeting time with us. The boat was comfortable for the eight guests and crew. The captain and host were locals that both spoke English so that was fabulous. I highly recommend this trip for a chance to see Capri in less than a day."
"We had a great time with the crew that took us to and around the isle of Capri. They were friendly, informative, and helpful on our trip. They provided useful tips so we could go ashore and know how to catch the shuttle bus to Anacapri, and from there, to get to the chair lift to the top. We watched our time, to make sure we got the last bus back to the harbor in time to make the boat."
"Both our guide Tony and our captain Tony did an amazing job. We had a small group of 10 making the entire trip enjoyable."
"This is the way to see Capri, for sure. The transportation with Lello to and from the marina was enjoyable. The time on the water with Giuseppe and our captain was spectacular. This is a must do."
"SO GOOD! Raffi and Joseph were amazing guides. Joseph was also an impressive Captain in navigating caves, etc. On the way out, Raffi talked about different landmarks and told funny stories. We saw grottoes and famous homes (Valentino) and stopped for a swim. Beer, prosecco and soft drinks were offered along with snacks. Then we had 4 hours to spend in Capri. Lots of shopping, eating and of course, gelato. On the way back, Joseph pulled into a grotto where we saw the blue water. So cool. (Not the blue grotto but just as cool and not crowded). This full day trip was totally worth the money. We were also picked up and dropped off right at our hotel. 4 stars for transportation because the guy that drove us BACK to our hotel was driving like a mania and I kinda feared for my life. . The man that took us TO the port was a very good driver. Do it! You won’t regret it!"

"Nous avons passé une très bonne journée en compagnie de Guiseppe et Raphaël. Malgré qu’ils ne parlaient pas Français comme c’était demandé et prévu, ils ont su nous animer et orienter, et surtout nous ambiancer avec Prince 😜. Encore merci à eux. Les fans de Prince"

"El tour fue muy lindo!! Vale mucho la pena ! Gracias Mario y Roberto, muy divertidos! :)"

Most tours include ferry, boat cruise, lunch, and guide. Free cancellation available up to 24 hours before departure.
Group tours include round-trip ferry, boat cruise around the island, English-speaking guide or captain, swimming stops, lunch at a waterside restaurant, and hotel pickup/drop-off. Blue Grotto cave entry costs extra (~$15). Snorkeling gear not always included — check the tour description.
Start with a full-day boat tour from Naples (8–10 hours): Blue Grotto entry, tour of Anacapri town, swimming at Marina Piccola, lunch, and plenty of time to explore. This gives you the complete Capri experience. ($88–$140 per person.)
Yes, most full-day tours include both. You visit the Blue Grotto by boat, then take a small ferry or minibus to Anacapri town to explore shops, try limoncello, and visit hilltop viewpoints. Typically 1.5–2 hours in Anacapri.
Yes, most Capri tours offer full refund if cancelled up to 24 hours before departure. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a fee (usually 10–50%). Check the specific tour's cancellation policy when booking.
Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen (SPF 50+), sunglasses, comfortable shoes, light layers (boats can be breezy), waterproof bag, €50–100 cash (for tips, meals, shops), and a camera. Leave heavy luggage at your hotel.
The ferry is generally smooth April–October (mild motion). Winter trips can be rougher. About 20% of passengers experience mild motion sickness on rough days. Take Dramamine before boarding. Ginger candy and fresh air also help.
Yes, tours accommodate families. Children under 4 usually ride free, ages 4–12 get discounts. Life jackets are provided on boats. Children 6+ typically enjoy the full experience. Discuss any concerns (swimming ability, motion sickness) with the operator before booking.
Rough seas can close the cave entrance (especially November–March). Tours with 'weather guarantee' offer rescheduling or full refunds if the grotto closes. On non-guaranteed tours, your boat still visits other Capri highlights if the grotto is inaccessible.
On full-day tours: 3–5 hours for independent exploration. On shorter boat-only tours: 1–2 hours. Enough time for lunch, shopping in Capri Town, and a gelato break. Guided portions of the tour are included.
