From Sorrento to Capri

[meduza]

I'm wondering if anyone has done a private boat excursion from Sorrento to Capri ? If yes, please share your experience.

Why wouldn't you just take the ferry to Capri? They are numerous from Sorrento and the trip is relatively short.

Not exactly a private excursion.

We were staying in Sorrento in late September of 2022 along with some friends. We had planned to take a day trip to Capri. There are several companies with a variety of boat sizes that operate the ferry crossings. There were huge queues/lines at the harbour and folk were being warned that they shouldn't expect to return that day as a squall was getting up and most of the boats would not be operating in the afternoon.

If I was on a cruise I would not take the risk unless it was offered by the cruise line with a guarantee of re-joining the ship.

You can also check the weather report before you stand in line to buy the ferry ticket.  If you are staying nearby, you can check the weather report for the duration of your stay before you decide when to go.

 

There are a number of boat companies that take you around the island with opportunity to swim, etc.  they usually have very limited time in Capri.
