The sea of Capri: a family passion

  1. A boat tour with Capri locals who are experts at sea

  2. 40 years' experience

  3. And you can even rent a boat without a skipper for an independent cruise

Address
Via Cristoforo Colombo, 17 - Capri

A passion for the sea, passed down from generation to generation

It all began with the renowned Gennarino, who discovered the statues inside the Blue Grotto. His passion led him to introduce tourists to Capri's natural beauty, back when people were still using rowboats. Nowadays the company continues this tradition headed by Wendy (Gennarino's daughter), who—together with a team of young sailors who are experts at the helm—welcomes tourists from all over the world, giving them the opportunity to admire and enjoy Capri's beauty.

Meeting Point

Marina Grande
Capri Whales excursions departing from Marina Grande meet at the Gennarino and Wendy shop (see map), easily spotted by its yellow awning, right next to the funicular.
The shop sells swimsuits for men, women, and children, as well as towels, sunscreen, hats, beach bags, and more. So if you need to pick something up for your day at sea, you can always buy it just before the tour!
The shop also offers a restroom where you can comfortably change before and after your excursion.

Marina Piccola
Capri Whales also has an office in Marina Piccola, on the steps to the beach, right under the church and bus station on via Mulo 53.

Wonderful tour seeing Capri by boat. Seeing all the cliffs, caves and different water colors was spectacular. Vincenzo was the perfect guide so friendly and informative. Great value.

Scam

Very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Capri Whales. After losing an anchor, the company charged us €120, even though the rental agreement clearly stated that the maximum charge for a lost anchor was €41. When we requested a refund of the €79 difference, they initially claimed that the prices in the agreement were outdated and needed to be updated. Later, they changed their explanation and said that the amounts listed in the agreement were only minimum charges, although the contract clearly states that they are the maximum possible charges for damage. The company then argued that the prices listed in the agreement were too low and that they could not buy a replacement anchor for €41. However, regardless of their current replacement costs, €41 was the maximum amount explicitly stated in the agreement that both parties had accepted. Despite the clear wording of their own agreement, they refused to refund the overcharged amount. I feel that we were misled and unfairly charged. Customers should be able to rely on the prices and conditions stated in a rental agreement. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company. I strongly advise other customers to carefully check the contract, retain all documents and payment records, and clarify every potential additional charge in writing before renting.

This was an excellent experience from start to finish, we sought out Capri Whales specifically due to strong reviews but did struggle to find them along the marina, im so glad we percerviered with finding them by walking further down the marina away from the larger providers. The staff we encountered were incredibly friendly and accomodating especially our driver Luigi who was outstanding. His knowledge of the area, stories and little nuggets of information really brought the trip to life for us. We felt very safe with Luigi on the water and found him warm and accommodating. Also found the staff in the shop and those managing the water taxi warm and friendly too. The boat tour was absolutely stunning, the boat was clean and beautifuly preserved and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. A real highlight of our holiday!

Best boat tour ever

The overall experience (starting from the first contact, price range and then, the pinnacle, which was the extraordinary service) was 10/10. Actually, it was 1000/10! Pietro, our skipper, is an encyclopedia in the region and a GREAT driver/pilot/commander! Recommend 10/10
