About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Passport590114836340 contributionsCapri ExclusiveOur day in and around Capri and Anacapri with Viviana and Luciano was phenomenal! We had the BEST day!! We will certainly use Vervece Charter again!!Written 14 October 2024
- katherinesX2924KJ0 contributionsWorth itSuch a worthwhile trip! The opportunity to see the whole islands at our pace and swim in the Mediterranean was everything we wanted and more. Our skipper, Marcello, was knowledgeable and good- humored. We had some issues on our end (including some sea sickness), and he was helpful and kind. We recommend this tour and especially the swimming. Ask your skipper for a snorkel and check out the beautiful fish right below you.Written 8 October 2024
- BackPacker7562390 contributionsGreat communicationThe weather was too rough for our trip to go ahead. Mr Corstanzo contacted us in good time to let us know and refunded us immediately.Written 27 September 2024

- Q1584LSvictoriab0 contributionsPerfect Honeymoon Excursion!Enzo was the best, the trip was great value for money. Can’t wait to get back and do it again. The island was so gorgeous and all the spots we stopped at were beautiful, had a great time swimming as well, water was perfect.Written 30 August 2024
- bjbrennan880 contributionsNot-to-Miss Private Capri Boat Tour!!This private boat tour of Capri with our captain, Ciro, was absolutely the HIGHLIGHT of my 16 day Italy trip! Ciro explained every landmark we went past, took us to the must-see swimming spots and caves around Capri, took video and pictures of me and my 17-year old son, pointed out places where my son could cliff-jump, and the boat was perfect - - a classic wooden boat with canopy, equipped with towels and snorkeling gear! I cannot recommend this company enough! There are free non-alcoholic beverages included, but when we arrived, we were also given an option to purchase made-to-order alcohol beverages, packaged for the tour in safe, plastic dispensers. I got a limoncello spritz container for the ride….it was delicious and refreshing! The water color was surreal, the cliffs and caves jaw-dropping, but it really was the knowledge and service of our captain, Ciro that made this a not-to-miss tour!Written 17 August 2024
- JodieHawkes750 contributionsRound Island Boat TourMy favourite day out in Italy, the boat was beautiful, the tour guide informative and the trip around the island of Capri had many hidden gems. Loved the swimming & paddleboarding too. 4 hours was a perfect amount of time. The Blue Grotto better than anticipated. 10/10.Written 12 August 2024
- matteon9040 contributionsPrivate Tour CapriGreat private tour. All personnel polite, professional and immediately available to answer your questions or solve any problems that might arise. Definitely recommended.Written 3 August 2024

- Go5945580 contributionsBook this experience!We had an awesome day trip to Capri in large part due to the private couples boat tour! The tour took us around the island’s exterior learning about the history and local story of the island. We stopped along the way to swim and explore a few grottos, too! In addition to the adorable boat and great tour guide, there was a cooler on board stalked with drinks and snacks! Would highly recommend Mr. Costanzo for those interested in seeing Capri from the water!Written 20 July 2024
- Happiness389697553190 contributionsAmazing experience!Our boat tour around Capri is by far one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Francesco, our captain, was such a wonderful guide. He took us to so many beautiful and amazing spots for swimming and told us so much about the island and history. If you are in Capri and looking to see the island, I would absolutely recommend booking this private boat tour. We truly loved everything about this experience!Written 18 July 2024
- Vacation071726435600 contributionsBest boat trip in CapriThe trip was amazing and Marcello (our captain) is not only very knowledgeable but he is a great guy! Everything was very smooth from booking the trip and we were really impressed with how beautiful the boat is!!! Thoroughly recommend as the experience was second to none!!! Thanks Marcello for giving us great time!Written 16 July 2024
- cdignan2220 contributionsAbsolutely must for first timers to Capri! Ask for Emmanuel and Gaspar :)We had the BEST time on this 3 hours tour with Emmanuel & Gaspar! They were the best captains we could've asked for, Emmanuel had amazing knowledge of Capri, having grown up on the island, and Gaspar navigated like the professional sailor he is. Definitely go first thing in the morning (9am) as you'll beat the heat and the crowds, specifically waiting for the Blue Lagoon (which isn't always guaranteed). We had a chance to swim, relax on the boat, and coast along the entire perimeter of Capri. This was our favorite day over a 2 week span, and something you can't miss, especially if you've never done it before.Written 14 July 2024
- peytons2540 contributionsAmazing ExperienceWe had a great time on the private boat tour with Marcelo our Captain. He had a great, quaint boat that took us all around Capri capturing some great views and stopping for swimming spots that were also picturesque and refreshing water. We learned a little history along the way but the island was absolutely beautiful and the tour was fantastic. Definitely a highlight for our trip!!Written 13 July 2024

You can’t beat the private boat experience, it’s worth every euro. Our guide Francisco was so nice and accommodating. 2 hrs was perfect to do it all - we saw all of the major landmarks, took a quick dip at the green grotto, and cruised around the island with Peroni beers on board! This was a day trip from Positano for my husband and I. We took the ferry from Positano and the company gave us clear instructions on where to meet in the marina. You won’t regret booking this, especially when you see the crowded shared tour boats driving by!

An amazing tour of Capri!! Our captain was so fun/professional :) highly recommend!! Got to swim in the green grotto…if you are trying to visit the blue grotto you need to book a 3+hr or full day boat ride.

The private boat tour was incredible-absolutely must do activity to see the beauty of the island from the ocean. The boat was clean, very comfortable, and felt very safe especially on the day we went out there were huge swells but the boat and captain handled it all well. Our boat captain was great and when we arrived early the tour operator let us hop on a boat at that time instead of waiting. All around great experience!

So the tour was lovely and my guide Ferdinando was an absolute gem. From him I learned a good bit about the island and was happy to see it from another angle.
That being said: In reality I paid 300$ for one loop around the island 🫠 I was really looking forward to the blue grotto and a couple of stops for swimming. But we only stopped once for a quick dip in the green grotto and the blue grotto was very busy so we didn’t make it in at all as it would’ve exceeded the 2 hour limit.
So I’d just say if you’re wanting to see the blue grotto for sure, book a dedicated trip to it. If you’re wanting to stop of at some spots and do some swimming, book a dedicated trip for that. If you’re just wanting to see the island from a different angle - this one is your trip to book.

Beautiful Tour however this wasn’t a yacht it was more of a oversized sailing boat. The Skipper we had was Georgio and he was very nice. He allowed us to connect our speaker and also pointed out all the notable areas. He also turned into our personal photographer.
The reason I gave three stars is because I felt the boat was older and not a yacht. The other issue is that I know for sure I booked the boat in April 2023 for an August 2023 yacht tour for three hours. The time some how was changed to a two hour tour. Apparently August is the busiest time of year and I believe that the time was changed because they were over booked.
I was also told we would have time to swim and snorkel as well however, there was only a five to ten minute swimming session aloud and the skipper only had two noodle devices. The tour was booked for four people. Not sure why there were only two noodle’s available in the Mediterranean Sea , but ok.
We were told to bring lunch however that was a waste because there was no place to really eat and not bathroom on the boat.
Other then that the water was nice and cool, the photos came out beautiful and the experience was definitely once in a lifetime.

Firstly, we had a booking for 12 pm. When we finally found someone to talk to about our booking (there are no signs, nothing to mark who we should speak to about Mr Constanzo boat trips), we were advised that our trip would not go until 12.30 pm.
Annoying when we only had a short time on the island of Capri.
Secondly, the description of the trip makes it sound as though everything can be achieved - i.e. the Blue Grotto, trip round the full island, and a stop to swim in the sea. That is not the case.
If you stop to go into the Blue Grotto, you are unlikely to get round to the other side of the island.
Even though we went into the Blue Grotto at a time that was described as ‘not busy’ it then made it very restricted as to how far we could travel around the island afterwards.
The boat is not fast, not like some of the others that move swiftly through the water.
Also, soft drinks are listed as included.
Our sailor did not offer them at all, and we had to ask for them when we were 5 minutes away from arriving back into port.
All in all……even though the Blue Grotto was amazing, this boat trip is not the best, over promised - and offered a disappointing service.

5 out of 5. Our first tour with a different operator was cancelled when we due to weather. This was a private tour with 4 adults. 2 hour experience that should not be missed. The skipper drove the boat around the island at a good slow pace with an opportunity to swim at the green grotto.
All places described were visited. We also saw Sophia Loren’s house. A must see experience of the island !!

Wake up early to explore Capri, which we can't wait to visit.
Boarding the Molo Manfredi in Salerno, after a stopover in Amalfi then Positano (1h50 crossing), the island is in sight and we disembark at the port of Marina Grande...we are not the only ones 😉....
Superb landscapes, the island is beautiful but the visit is spoiled by this mass tourism (and it is the end of September, what must it be like in peak season)
Capri rhymes with discord and the locals are unfriendly
Transportation on the island:
Several small bus companies, no information on who does what, and impossible to obtain even one piece of information... they don't care!!! ...no need to take a day ticket (ATC) it is only valid from Marina Grande /Capri/Anacapri.
Monte Solaro chairlift
There is a minimum of 2 hours in line...
We had planned to take the last boat to make the most of our day and we changed our return course by the 4:25 p.m. boat...
As the song says

My friend and I booked a private boat tour with Mr. Costanzo and is exceeded our expectations! The boat arrived on time, the staff was very friendly, and our skipper, Pancho, was amazing! He made sure to have our experience be memorable explaining every passing grotto and also being the best DJ! We LOVE PANCHO!!!

This was the highlight of our trip in the Amalfi Coast!
First off, the team is extremely responsive and accommodating. Traveling between the different cities in the Amalfi coast was very challenging, which was worse due to the weather conditions, so ferries were delayed and/or cancelled. Despite being an hour and a half behind schedule, they still allowed us to go on the tour. The boat was very clean and well kept.
Mario was such a fun, knowledgeable, observant, and considerate captain. Our time in Capri was cut even shorter because the last ferry was canceled, and he accommodated the tour to make sure we were able to make it back on the ferry. Despite our time being cut short, we never felt rushed. He managed to take us around the whole island, stopped and explained the major viewpoints, and even took amazing videos and photos of us throughout the tour.
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a private tour of Capri!
