Frequently Asked Questions

Is a private boat worth the extra cost?
For groups of 4-8, absolutely. You control the itinerary, swim stops, and timing. No waiting for other tourists. Cost per person often similar to group tours. Perfect for families with kids or special occasions.
Is the Blue Grotto always open?
No - it closes for rough seas about 30% of summer days. Morning visits have best success rate. If closed, boats visit other grottos like Emerald or White. Check weather morning of tour.
Can I swim during boat tours?
Yes! Most tours include 2-4 swimming stops in crystal clear coves. Water is warmest June-September (22-26°C). Boats provide snorkeling equipment. Some spots have jellyfish in August.
Where do boat tours depart from?
Major ports: Positano (most options), Amalfi (central), Maiori (fewer crowds). Sorrento has most Capri departures. Your hotel can usually arrange pickup from nearest port. Parking is difficult at all ports in summer.
Is lunch included on full-day tours?
Varies by tour. Most include snacks and drinks. Some stop at waterfront restaurants (you pay). Private boats can include full lunch for extra €30pp. Best option: pack sandwiches from local deli.
Are boat tours suitable for young children?
Yes with precautions. Choose calm weather days, shorter tours (2-3 hours), and bring snacks/entertainment. Kids under 3 free on most group tours. Life jackets provided. Private boats best for flexibility with naptime.
