Address
Via Provinciale Marina Grande, 25 - Capri

Capri Blue Wave offers private boat tours departing from Marina Grande. Each departure is reserved exclusively for your group, with no other passengers on board. Tours are run by two brothers, Enrico and Stefano, both born and raised on Capri, with years of on-water experience and working knowledge of English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The Skippers

Enrico and Stefano grew up on the island and know its coastline in every season, the caves, the inlets, and the way the sea shifts throughout the day. Sailing with them means getting local context alongside the route, not just navigation.

The Boats

The fleet includes two Fratelli Aprea vessels: a 7.80-meter open boat and a 7.50-meter cabin cruiser. Both are equipped for a full day at the sea: sunbathing area, sunshade, cooler with water and ice, towels, and snorkeling masks. Each boat accommodates up to nine passengers plus the skipper. Sandwiches, wine, and prosecco are available on request.

Dogs of all sizes are welcome on board. Small strollers and hand luggage are allowed, up to two pieces per group.

Island Tours

Tours around Capri run from 2 to 6 hours, covering the coastline past the Faraglioni, the sea caves, the Natural Arch, and Punta Carena lighthouse. A stop at the Blue Grotto is available as an option on longer tours, subject to sea conditions and wait times that the skippers assess on the water and keep you updated as you go. On the Full Day tour, a lunch stop at a coastal restaurant can be arranged with booking.

Swimming stops are included at quieter spots away from the busiest areas.

Off-Island Tours

Two routes extend beyond Capri. The Nerano tour combines coastal navigation with lunch at a restaurant in the bay. The Positano tour includes a landing in the village with free time to explore before heading back. Neither of these tours includes a Blue Grotto stop.

Sunset Cruise

The Sunset Cruise departs in the late afternoon. Exact timing varies by time of year. A bottle of prosecco is included in the price.

Book your tour with a skipper who knows this island year-round. Choose your duration and focus on the water.

Best boat tour in Capri - what a birthday treat!

My daughter booked a 2 hr boat trip around Capri with Stefano for my birthday. It was amazing, with perfect weather, just simply the best day, and I wanted to do it all again. Stefano was so professional & knowledgeable, he pointed out all the sites & explained the history behind them. My daughter jumped in for a swim and he took some pictures for us. The boat was immaculate, he has towels, glasses & water on board, we took some fizz to enjoy. He couldn't have been any more accommodating. We did the tour as soon as we arrived on the island & he told us the best times to take the chair lift and he was spot on, we didn't even need to queue. I would highly recommend booking with him if you are lucky enough to go to Capri, it is simply stunning. Thank you Stefano!

We arrived in Capri and felt a bit overwhelmed with the choice of boat tours. After strolling around to see which looked the best for the best price, we bumped into Stefano. He wasn't pushy at all, he advised us of our options then stepped back for us to decide on what tour to go on so naturally we agreed. He is local to Capri, so knew all the interesting facts and took us on an amazing 2 hour trip of the island. We went to all the grottos, including blue grotto which was incredible. You have to lay in small rowing boats, so this is worth bearing in mind if you want to go in the grotto. We got some snacks and drinks from the local store before getting on the boat and had a really good and comfortable ride. If travelling on a chillier day, take a coat and definitely go to the bathroom beforehand! I made this mistake, but luckily there was a stop at the grotto. We'll definitely return later in the year for sunnier weather and go swimming, it was way too cold to get in the water but it looked beautiful!

We had a fantastic time on our boat tour around Capri! Stefano, the owner, was so friendly and professional. He absolutely loves his home island of Capri and happily shared all of the highlights and points of interest as we toured around the island. We were able to get out and swim at least twice. The water was a gorgeous blue and so, so refreshing because it was HOT in late June when we were there. I would recommend paying a little extra and booking the 3 hour tour. It was hot during the summer and being on the water that long kept us cool and refreshed. Plus, you get to tour the entire island and really get a feel for all of Capri. The tour was fairly priced, and I loved knowing that we were supporting a local business. Stefano is a hardworking family man with two school age boys. If we were to return to Capri (and hopefully someday we will!), I would book with Stefano again in a heartbeat. The boat tour was the highlight of our day trip to this beautiful island!

Enjoy Capri by boat

Arrived in Capri and met Enrico at the port! Lucky we met him, gave a fabulous tour around the island in English and knew his history. As the busy season comes, I’d recommend contacting him before arriving and take him up on a boat tour
