Our skipper Enrico was wonderful! Unfortunately we we had to cut our adventure short by a few hours due to sea sickness. Enrico secured a spot for us to have a wonderful afternoon at the beach club.

Everything worked fine. Easy to pick up the boat. We went for a day trip around the Capri island. They do not provide an accurate map but it is easy to navigate. We stopped at a couple of places with the anchor. There is a minifrigo box on the boat so bring ice to keep it cold. We were lucky to find a table Gradola but ended up swimming from the boat to the shore because they told us it was full. Make sure you book a table at one of the restaurants around the island.

Planning your boat rental in Capri

When planning your Capri boat rental, choose your timing wisely for the best sea and weather conditions. The island of Capri provides opportunities to explore its coastline, with boats available from Marina Grande and Marina Piccola.

Whether you opt for a half-day or full-day excursion, booking at least three hours allows you to sail on a tour of the island and discover its locations. Spring and summer offer the best conditions to rent a boat when the sea is suitable for exploring the southern coast and taking photos of the cliffs.

Exploring the island of Capri and the Amalfi Coast by boat

Multiple locations are offered by the island of Capri can be viewed effectively from the sea. Your private boat tour allows you to cruise around these places at your own pace, avoiding tourist crowds while seeing the coastline. Speedboats and motorboats are ideal for those looking to cover more ground and explore both Capri and the nearby Amalfi Coast in a single trip. Many visitors choose to combine their tour with a trip to Naples, creating four hours of exploration around various coastal locations.

A trip to Italy's island includes visiting the famous Blue Grotto. This natural formation, along with the Green Grotto and White Grotto, displays geological features. The blue cave entrance requires small traditional boats, and there's an entrance fee to access this location. Your captain will guide you through these sea caves, where you can swim in the clear waters of the bay and relax while discovering the island's caves.

Capri boat options: from traditional boats to luxury yachts

The Capri boat fleet provides different options for various preferences and group sizes:

  • traditional boats offer a standard experience, while luxury yacht rentals provide additional comfort for those seeking an exceptional experience;
  • speedboats work well for travelers who want to cover more areas, while classic tour boats offer a steady pace suitable for families.

Whether you choose a motor boat or a yacht, each option includes a professional captain to handle navigation and provide information about your trip.

Licensing and qualifications for boat charter

When you rent boats in Capri, no special course or license is required if you hire a captain. You can hire professional captains at both Marina Grande and Capri Marina, with experience navigating the waters around the entire island. They know the locations for lunch, swimming, and sightseeing, making your boat rental experience safe and informative.

For those wanting to rent without a captain, Italian boating licenses are required for boats with engines of 40 horsepower and above, but in most cases, you can rent a boat without a license in Capri lands.

Costs and pricing for Capri boat rental

Rental prices vary based on boat type, rental length, and season (with summer months typically being more expensive). Half-day rentals typically cost less than full-day charters, with pricing affected by whether you choose speedboats, motorboats, or luxury yachts.

Additional costs may include fuel, entrance fees for attractions like the Blue Grotto, and optional services like lunch or transfers. The port fees at Marina Piccola and Marina Grande are usually included in your charter package.

Tips for a successful boat rental experience

To get the most from your boat tour, arrive early at the marina to avoid crowds and secure good departure times. Pack sunscreen, water, and appropriate clothing for your sail around the coastline. Consider booking transfers to the port if you're staying on the mainland. Weather conditions can affect your excursion, so keep flexibility in your schedule. Most importantly, relax and enjoy the experience of exploring Italy from the sea.

Your Capri boat adventure provides a combination of relaxation, exploration, and coastal viewing. From the moment you board at the marina until you return to land, every hour spent on the sea shows different aspects of this island. Whether you visit for the classic tour experience or create your trip, boat tours provide access to Campania's coastal sights and create memories for your visit.
