Gianni's Boat
About
Gianni's Boat is a boutique, family‑run boat tour company based in the heart of Capri, offering unforgettable private sailing experiences around the island and beyond. With a fleet of traditional wooden “gozzo” boats and luxury motorboats, the company caters to couples, families, solo travellers, and groups of up to 100 guests. Each excursion is guided by seasoned local skippers who chart scenic routes that include hidden coves, the legendary Faraglioni sea stacks, the Blue Grotto, and historic sites such as Tiberius’ Leap and the Natural Arch. The 3‑hour island tour focuses on leisurely swim stops, while longer 4‑hour, full‑day, and sunset sail options let you savour the Mediterranean sun, enjoy a gourmet picnic on board, or conclude the day with a candlelit dinner in a seaside restaurant. Gianni’s Boat also arranges special adventures such as marriage proposals, bachelorette parties, and water‑taxi transfers to Positano, Sorrento, and Nerano. Customers rave about the intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and the freedom to customise itineraries to match their interests. The company prides itself on flexible scheduling, no mandatory booking policy (though reservations are highly recommended during peak season), and a commitment to safety with fully inspected boats and life jackets for all passengers. With competitive pricing starting at €130 per person for the Sorrento–Capri round‑trip and extra €14 for the Blue Grotto entry, Gianni’s Boat offers value without sacrificing the charm and tranquility of Mediterranean sailing. Beyond the ride, guests can explore the vibrant port of Marina Grande, savour local cuisine at La Fontelina beach club or Il Ricco, and enjoy complimentary refreshments such as limoncello in the buckets of fresh lemons from Gianni’s garden.
