After taking the earliest ferry from Positano to Capri, my husband had already settled on Laser…read moreCapri as the place to buy tickets to see the Grotto Azzurra, aka the Blue Grotto. Even for 10am, it was still quite busy on the dock. We should have stayed on the island of Capri. We paid €18 per person and were told which dock to wait at. Easy process to board the boat. There was a decent amount of people onboard, with an entertaining navigator who made many "interesting" jokes throughout the tour. Apparently it was his first time sailing solo, and I thought he did a good job. We went around the whole island of Capri, in awe at its stunning beauty. Pictures don't do it justice, but I attempted taking videos anyways. Finally we came upon the Blue Grotto (last stop) where it was insanely crowded at high tide... too busy to actually go in. The second half of our ticket was to get on ANOTHER boat for the Blue Grotto tour, which wasn't communicated to us until we were actually looking at the landmark. Kinda frustrating since we went through all this trouble. We didn't feel like waiting 3-4 hours to MAYBE get into the Blue Grotto. Instead we did other tourist things and told ourselves we'd stay on Capri next time and spend more time exploring the island. Everything is absolutely beautiful, and we had a positive experience. It was just blindsiding NOT to do the tour we were looking forward to all week!

Ever wanted to feel like a superstar celebrity or rock star? Well when we took a luxury charter…read morewith Sorrento Luxury Day Charter and Tours, that is exactly how Robbie and his crew made us feel! You'll be on the Tornado 45 Express, a very sleek and luxurious all-white boat. The boat is fully stocked with drinks and small bites and so you can enjoy an impressive array of saltine snacks while indulging on some prosecco or champagne. I mean how cool is that? The ride is so smooth. I normally get sea-sick on any type of vessel but because of Robbie's handling of the boat and the boat's spacious and very luxurious area, I felt fresh as a daisy throughout. After you've taken a dip in that crystal clear blue water, you can use the boat's built-in shower spray to get fresh and clean for the next destination. Definitely got a kick out of that! Honestly you'll get a fair share of people gawking and looking at your charter because how many people can say they had a private luxury boat to themselves? Well, you can once you take a trip with them. Robbie really is the man. He's inherited the business from his father and has been manning Luxury Charter for 10 years now. He and his father have had some of the most high-profile clientele including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Serena Williams, and more! Knowing that, I totally understand why celebrities would want to book with Robbie. He truly makes anyone, from the A-list celebs to regular tourists like us, feel like a million bucks. For the social media savvy, Robbie knows the best spots to get that perfect profile picture for Facebook or get that stellar photo you need to get a ton of likes in Instagram. He'll even take the picture for you and get you in the right poses. He should know, he's pretty active of Facebook and Instagram himself! After traveling with Robbie and Sorrento Luxury Day Charter and Tours, I am convinced there is only one true way to explore the South of Italy. To be truly uninhibited and to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I recommend booking a trip with them. You won't regret it and you'll definitely never forget it. Worth every euro. I can't wait to go on another boat ride with them!

I cannot say enough great things about our amazing experiences with Sorrento Luxury Charter! During…read moreour 5 days in the Amalfi Coast we had 2 charters with Sorrento Luxury Charters - one full day Capri Boat Trip and one full day on the Amalfi Coast celebrating my birthday. I worked with Adele beforehand to make all the arrangements as I am located in the US. She was very professional, provided full details about what would be included with the charter, and worked with me to build a custom schedule for my birthday. Communication beforehand was great, and we were blown away to find out they were offering an upgrade from the 35 ft Gagliotta to the 45 ft Tornado Express for our trip to Capri. Although I have no doubt every boat in Robbie's fleet is absolutely flawless. As expected, Rosa met us at the dock the morning of our departure and when we returned that evening to make sure we had everything we needed. The boat was absolutely gorgeous and the Captain, Eduardo, was simply the best! He was charming and engaging always making sure he stopped to show us the best places along the way and finding little coves for us to stop and swim, a waterfall, taking pictures for us at each spot, and taking us to the absolute best restaurants we ate at during our entire trip. He also made sure we had plenty of snacks and drinks throughout our trip and wanted for nothing. Little did I know that my friend had coordinated with Adele and team to make arrangements for our second trip - making sure that my favorite drinks were onboard, as well as a birthday cake, sparkler candles, a balloon and more! After returning from a stop to swim, Eduardo and his assistant surprised me by bringing out the birthday cake, balloon, and singing Happy Birthday! I cannot describe what an amazing day it was and how much the Sorrento Luxury Charter team did to ensure it was unforgettable. If you have any hesitation in booking with them - don't - they are absolutely the best in the business. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions!

I had high expectations for Gianni's boats, especially since we paid €240 for a boat ride around…read moreCapri. The process it self is easy to book and the boat ride was stunning. This service could be 5+ stars but they lose it in the details. I'll give it four because I loved the view and overall it was a fun experience. Now, onto the details that could be improved. Our boat captain seemed pretty disinterested most of the time, occasionally pointing out sights but we had to ask him for information most of the time. He spent a lot of time on his phone, occasionally driving too fast over the waves, we actually got completely soaked at one point. We also never got the advertised and promised homemade limoncello, which was kind of disappointing. Despite missing out on the finer details, it was a beautiful ride around Capri.

We couldn't have asked for a better day at sea than the one we had experienced with Giannis Boats…read more Our captain Lorenzo was extremely hospitable and took us to all the little spots around Capri. We were picked up at Praiano and went along the picturesque Amalfi before heading to Capri. The boat was large and comfortable, allowing the 4 of us to layout and relax on the journey. Oh and the boat was sponsored by Veuve which made for perfect pictures! @thesfcouple

I've kayaked all over the world and this might have been my top favorite kayaking adventure ever…read more Kayaking along the Amalfi coastline was a workout. I mean seriously. A workout. I lift weights 3x a week and I was still sore from my fingertips and arms, shoulders, and back. My whole upper body got quite a workout in those 3 hrs. -The water was very choppy from just the fact that it's the sea, but all the boats make it even more so. This was not a kayaking adventure for the weak and I'd never recommend for a non swimmer. The waves could overturn your kayak and although you're wearing a life jacket, if you can't swim, that situation wouldn't be fun. A 3 hr adventure cost €69 per person. You meet near the Amalfi Port. We had a car and chose to drive there and park. Amalfi fills up very fast. We arrived at 8:30am and there were plenty of spaces at BERMA parking, but by 8:45, every space was taken. We arrived early and grabbed croissants and cappuccinos before our 10am time slot. Amalfi is nice to enjoy in the early hrs before the town explodes with people. Nice guides. Good equipment. Stunning views. And the Italian men were nice to look at.

So this tour was very Adventurous and it was so much fun. To get to the tour, You can either take…read morethe steps down from the top of Amalfi or you can take free ferry. I recommend the ferry, unless you want the great exercise from walking the 400 steps down. One of the guy's name was Antonio and he was really nice and really funny. The other guys name was tiny tony. My wife and my daughter were on it and they were in the back of the group so tiny tony pulled them in and according to my wife, "he saved her". Antonio and Tiny Tony explained all about the villages and it was really interested. Also, there was no way I would have made it if he didn't teach us how to do it. Then we started going in the the gulf and he explained to us which side to go on. Also some people were falling behind so Little Tony helped them and Antonio helped us. We had a great time kayaking and then we reached a beach and they let us take a break. During the break they gave us a towel, crackers and bananas. We also got to jump off a 12ft rock. Also they made some funny jokes. It was very hard work so make sure your not tired for the tour! It was so much fun and I totally recommend you doing it. The staff was phenomenal and it was very organized. If your looking for some good views and a great tour this is a good thing to do.

We decided to rent a boat in Sorrento and cruise around Capri ....after a long search we came…read moreacross Zaccheo Boat Rental through TripAdvisor and read through many of the excellent reviews. I emailed to get information about reserving a boat and I received a response very promptly and was able to get a reservation just two days away! The whole process was super easy, when we arrived they went over how to get to Capri and what we could do around and on the island... then when we got to the boat they gave us instructions on how to drive the boat since this was our first time driving a boat. They even provided us a cooler with drinks and wine with some ice packs and suggested a deli next door for some sandwiches. They also let us borrow some goggles! When we were done for the day they gave us some homemade limoncello! It was only 120 euro for the boat and 38 for gas.... that less than competitors were charging just for the boat! Overall, it was the best experience we've ever had... we will always remember this trip! We definitely recommend them if you plan on renting a boat in Sorrento!

We called him back and he said he would make sure we were able to sail around Capri and he checked in with us EVERYDAY. It was time for us to leave to Positano but we actually came back on our 2nd to last day in Italy to take our trip! Marco was our tour guide/boat captain and he is great! He's young, I forgot what he said around 23/24 but he's fantastic and super knowledgable. He somehow convinced my normally reserved husband to jump off the cliff into the water. It was such a memorable moment!! We did the private tour which was right around 4 hours. The boat had clean towels, prosecco, water, soda and we had brought some snacks for ourselves. Bring sunscreen & a hat! Capri Whales is located by the marina when you get off your ferry from Naples/Positano/Wherever. They have a cute dog name CJ and he is usually sitting outside. If you are afraid of the language barrier, Wendy and her family are actually from CT so she speaks english perfectly.

Great choice among many options…read more In Capri last week, and looking for a boat, I walked into Capri Sea Service (on the east side of Grand Marina (the blue awning says SercoMar Rent Boat). I spoke to Shana and she was straightforward, helpful, and priced fairly. She arranged for a boat to pick us up from lunch/beach at Griglio di Tiberio and take us to the grottos. I wish I had done this INSTEAD of taking a tour on one of the boats with other people. Since we had 8 in our party, it made much more sense to have a private captain (Capitan Enzo was friendly and relaxed - a good driver on a fast boat) who took us to all the grottos (Blue Grotto was closed that day).
