Capri Boat Service

Capri Boat Service offers a personal way to explore the island’s coastline, with private outings aboard traditional gozzi, speedboats and luxury yachts. The appeal lies in choosing both the boat and the occasion: an island tour taking in the Faraglioni, a sunrise departure or a sunset cruise. Rather than treating time at sea simply as transport, this is a service for travellers who want the boat trip to be a central part of their stay.

Founded by Danilo Palumbo, known locally as Danilo Capri, with his partners Marco and Pierpaolo, the company brings together distinctly different styles of vessel. Traditional wooden gozzi sit alongside Itama speedboats, while the wider fleet includes a Riva Rivale 52, a Tornado 50 and a Pershing 43. That variety is worth considering before choosing an itinerary: the character of a gozzo and the styling of a modern yacht offer different settings for the same coastline. Confirm the particular vessel and its passenger capacity when enquiring.

Bespoke itineraries extend beyond Capri to the Amalfi Coast, and the company also offers transfers serving Capri, Naples and other destinations around the bay. For a first visit, make the island itself the focus and discuss the Faraglioni or Blue Grotto when planning your route. For a more occasion-led outing, the advertised options include on-board picnics, boat parties and sunrise or sunset sails; ask which arrangements suit your chosen boat.

One practical detail deserves attention: the stated meeting point is Limoncello Bar at Pier 20 in Marina Grande, Capri. Danilo and his staff emphasise that they meet guests only there. Head directly to that location rather than following anyone elsewhere claiming to represent the company, and use the official website for enquiries and bookings.
