Private boat tours around Capri

A private boat tour puts a whole boat and skipper at your group's disposal — no strangers, no fixed schedule, no waiting. You decide where to swim, how long to linger under the Faraglioni arch, and whether to chase the quiet coves on the far side of the island. For couples, families and small groups it's the most relaxed way to see Capri, and split across four to six people the cost is more reasonable than it first looks.

Most private tours use a traditional wooden gozzo — comfortable, stable, unmistakably Capri — while speedboats suit those who want to cover more coast or reach the island quickly from the mainland. Prices are quoted per boat, not per person, and typically start around €500 for a half day, rising with boat size, season and duration.

Expect a local skipper who knows exactly when the Blue Grotto will be open, where the water is clearest, and which cove empties out when the group tours move on. Many private charters include drinks, snorkelling gear and hotel-pier pick-up.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much is a private boat tour in Capri?
Private charters are priced per boat, usually from around €500 for a half day, more for larger boats, full days or high season. Split between a group it's often comparable to premium shared tours.
What kind of boat is a gozzo?
A gozzo is the traditional wooden Capri fishing boat, now the classic choice for private tours — stable, shaded and comfortable, with a skipper.
Is a private tour worth it over a group tour?
If you value flexibility, privacy and swimming on your own schedule, yes. Group tours are cheaper; private tours give you the boat and the day to yourselves.
Can a private tour guarantee the Blue Grotto?
No one can guarantee it — the grotto closes in rough seas. But a private skipper can time the visit for the best window and adapt the route on the day.
