Which one, depending on what you want

Cruises in Capri side by side

There are two kinds of Capri boat tour on offer, and they answer different questions. The first starts on the island itself: you board at Marina Grande or in the harbour area and circle Capri for one or two hours. The second starts on the mainland, in Naples or Sorrento, and is a full day trip: the crossing, a cruise around the island and several hours ashore. This page compares one of each shape, four listings in all.

The cheapest is the one-hour boat tour from Marina Grande, from €25, which scores 8 from 512 reviews. The most expensive is the Naples day trip, from €89, which has the most reviews by far (1,141) and the lowest score of the four, 7.8. In between are a two-hour gozzo ride with snorkelling gear from €50 and a Sorrento day trip from €85. Prices and rules below come from the Civitatis listings checked on 29 October 2026.

Who it suitsAnyone already on Capri who wants the coastline from the water without giving up half a day. It has three options at booking: the plain loop, the loop with the Blue Grotto, or the loop with a swim stop. Pets are allowed according to the listing.

Pick something else ifSkip it if you use a wheelchair, as the listing says it is not accessible. Skip the Blue Grotto option if your time is tight: the listing warns of a wait of up to an hour that pushes the tour to between one and two hours, and the grotto is visited only if the weather allows.
