Z30 Speedboat

We booked a 4-hour private boat tour with Take Me Out Capri Tours, expecting an enjoyable and informative experience around Capri, but unfortunately it was extremely disappointing and concerning. The skipper seemed immature and uninterested throughout the tour. There was almost no interaction or explanation about the surroundings, which was disappointing because this was supposed to be more than just being driven around the island. We expected to learn about Capri, the sights, and the places we were passing, but we were mostly just left sitting there without any proper guidance or engagement. Before the tour, I had specifically confirmed that snorkeling masks would be available on board. However, when we stopped for swimming and asked for them, the skipper simply said he did not have any. There was no explanation, no apology, and no attempt to resolve it. The most concerning part was the safety issue. We had two children with us, so we asked about life jackets to make sure everyone was safe. Shockingly, the skipper said he did not have them. Only after we showed concern did he pull the boat aside, call his boss, and then try to locate them. This was very worrying because if the skipper himself did not know where the life jackets were, what would have happened in an emergency? The Blue Grotto experience was also handled very poorly. We asked how long the wait would be and were told around 30 minutes, with only a few boats ahead of us. Based on that, we agreed to wait. But instead, we ended up sitting there for around two hours in the sun, with no wind or movement, while other boats kept pushing ahead. Our skipper did not seem proactive at all and did not communicate properly with the other boats or keep us updated. Two people in our group became seasick while we were waiting. After wasting almost half of our 4-hour tour, we were then told that the Blue Grotto was closed. I understand that the Blue Grotto opening depends on conditions and is not fully in the company’s control. However, the poor communication, lack of professionalism, missing snorkeling equipment, and confusion around life jackets made the whole experience feel badly managed and unsafe. For the price of a private 4-hour tour, this was simply not acceptable. We left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and honestly shocked by the lack of basic preparation and professionalism. I would not recommend this tour, especially for families with children.

Fantastic experience with the legendary skipper Giuseppe. He told us details and anecdotes related to life on the island and the history of the caves. We had a great time!

Beautiful experience managed with care and professionalism by Take me out Capri. A tour of the island guided with rare mastery and abundance of details and information by Peppe, a skilled long-time sailor, Caprese doc. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience with this new company, everything was perfect from the reception. We did the tour in the afternoon so we didn't find much crowd at the blue cave. I would definitely recommend it.
