Motoscafisti Capri, Italy - skippers since 1955

For more than half a century, Motoscafisti di Capri has been the number 1 choice for boat excursions around the Island of Capri.

The Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni, the lighthouse: no trip to Capri, Italy can be considered complete without having first sailed around the island. The best and safest way to enjoy a trip on the sea surrounding Capri is to sail with the island's leading boat company, the oldest and most experienced in the business: the Motoscafisti di Capri!

Ferrying services

We are the only company on Capri authorized to provide ferrying services.

Since 1955, we have been transporting passengers, luggage, and merchandise to and from ships anchored within the port area of Capri. An exclusive ferrying service which testifies to our professionalism and guarantees the safety of all passengers.

A tale of the sea

In 1826, a fisherman from Marina Grande accompanied the German painter August Kopisch to the Blue Grotto, which, at the time, was known only to the islanders. From that moment on, news of the extraordinary beauty of the sea cave began to spread around the world and more and more visitors coming to Capri asked to see the Blue Grotto and sail around the island by boat.

In 1955, the fishermen of Capri who organized these trips decided to found a company, which would enable them to offer a truly professional service to customers. Thus Motoscafisti di Capri was born.

Our skippers

All our skippers speak English; many speak French and Spanish, as well. They are all native to Capri, and are available for anything you may need during your sail.

Our boats are insured to cover damages to people, property, and animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Blue grotto, does the ticket include entrance to the blue grotto.

No, even though some boat companies state the contrary, you will have to pay to enter the Blue Grotto separately, at the entrance to the cave. The Blue Grotto is a state-owned cultural property.

When is the Blue Grotto open to the public?

The Blue Grotto is open from 09.00 to 17.00, sea and general weather conditions permitting. Visitors enter the Grotto via a 1 meter high cavity: in rough or high seas, it is impossible to access the cave.

Is the Blue Grotto open in the winter?

Yes, when sea conditions are favorable, the Grotto is open in winter too.

Can you swim inside the Blue Grotto?

During the day, the steady procession of boats going in and out of the cave makes swimming impossible. When the Blue Grotto is closed, entry is prohibited.

How long does the trip to the Blue Grotto take?

The journey from Marina Grande, the visit to the cave, and return, will take about an hour.

Trip around the island

How long does the trip around the island take.

The trip all the way around the island takes about 2 hours and includes the stop at the Blue Grotto.

Is the visit of the Blue Grotto obligatory?

The boat will stop to allow those who want to visit the sea cave to do so. If you don't want to go inside the Grotto, you are welcome to stay on board!

No, you will have to pay to see the Grotto at the entrance of the cave (see response to question above).

Do you offer other trips too?

Yes, we also organize trips sailing around the Faraglioni, departing from Marina Grande and arriving at the Siren's rock, where you can take a photo of the sea with the Faraglioni in the background.

Yes, contact us for a quote.

Private excursions

Do you rent boats without crew.

No, we only rent boats manned by a skipper.

Is it possible to fish from the boat?

Can I take a shower on the boat?

Yes, all of the boats used for private excursions are equipped with soft water shower.

I'm in Capri but I haven't got any of the things I need for a day at sea, can you help?

No problem, on request we will get you anything and everything you need: swimming costumes, beach towels, face masks and flippers etc...

Do you have children's life jackets?

Of course: all our boats are equipped with life jackets for both adults and children. In addition, all our passengers are covered by our company insurance.

Transfers and charters

Do you do night-time transfers.

Yes, we are often asked to provide nocturnal transportation for customers going to a party, discotheque, or attending an important evening event. The time you go and the time you come back are entirely up to you!

I need to organize a transfer for more than 150 people. Is that possible?

For groups which exceed 150 passengers, we can organize a transfer using more than one boat. We often provide such a service for wedding parties, when the bride and groom travel on their own private boat and their guests sail on boats behind them, forming a floating procession.

Is there room on your boats for large suitcases?

Yes, when you book your transfer let us know just how many suitcases you intend to bring and we will book a suitable boat for you.

Visiting the Blue Grotto: How It Works

During our trips including a stop at the Blue Grotto, our boat will dock at the entrance to the cave.

The Blue Grotto visit is optional; tickets must be purchased directly from the ticket booth at the cave entrance for an additional €18.

To visit the Blue Grotto, you must disembark from our boat and enter with one of the waiting rowboats, which are small enough to pass through the cave's mouth. In high season, there may be a long wait* for available rowboats, so we ask for your patience and understanding!

(*) If the wait for the entrance to the Grotta Azzurra exceeds 45 minutes, the crew reserves the right to return to port without a visit to the cave.

Capri is a beautiful island on the tip of the Salento Peninsula, world-famous for being an exclusive and elegant Italian location. Over the years, the island has been nicknamed the 'blue island' thanks to its wonderful crystal-clear waters, in which high rocks rise to create striking panoramas. What makes Capri particularly ideal for a private yacht charter is its rocky cliffs and coastline. While you may struggle to find sandy beaches, there is an abundance of interesting and hidden coves perfect for swimming and diving.

How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in Capri?

There are many factors that influence the price of your yacht charter in Capri. For example, this may include the type of boat, the number of passengers on board, the season and the duration of the journey. Below is a list of the average prices for each yacht type.

€3,003 per week

€12,915 per week

€2,730 per week

What type of yacht should you charter?

With so many options on the platform, it can be difficult to know which type of yacht to charter for your holiday. In general, people on shorter voyages such as day trips will choose RIBs and motorboats for their journey as they are easier to navigate and can help you get into the small coves of the Amalfi Coast. In contrast, other clients prefer sailboats as they can travel long distances and provide the iconic nautical experience! Ultimately, the decision is yours. For this reason, we highly recommend using the filters on Scansail to help narrow your search by price, dates and number of passengers.

What is the best time to visit Capri?

Capri has a wonderful Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and short, mild winters. The most popular time to visit Capri is during July and August when Italy in general reaches peak tourism due to long hours of sunshine and hot temperatures. However, Capri has temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius from May and October. Therefore, the best time to charter a private yacht in Capri would be during the late spring and early summer months.

Should I charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

As you search for a booking on Scansail, you will notice that many yachts have the option to include a skipper. While it will add an extra cost to your journey, having a skipper on board will add many advantages to your experience. For example, a professional skipper can handle all the sailing, docking and anchoring so you won’t need to worry about any technical aspects of navigation. Moreover, they will be familiar with the local waters and can help guide you through the Bay of Naples, showing you more of what you like and less of what you don’t. Ultimately, chartering a yacht with a skipper will help you have the ultimate luxury experience and give you more time to relax on your boating holiday.

What to do in Capri?

When in Capri, we highly recommend taking your yacht charter around the island and exploring all there is without an exact plan. Allow yourself to leisurely navigate around the stunning coast and pop-in to any coves or beaches that you find interesting! However, if you want specific recommendations, we suggest visiting Marina Grande, the largest beach on the island. It is also conveniently right next to the harbour, making it a great place to moor your boat. This is a pebbled beach with incredibly clean waters that make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Another suggestion is the Palazzo a Mare, another pebbled beach that is more secluded than Marina Grande. The beach is only accessible by water, making you feel like you’re one a private holiday. Finally, one of the most famous places to visit in Capri is the Blue Grotto. The mystical cave attracts visitors from all over the world thanks to its waters that glow electric blue during the day.

If you want to disembark from your private yacht charter, we recommend discovering the island as much as possible. You can begin by exploring Capri town in La Piazzetta, the central square. From here, you can wander around the centre and look into the artisanal shops, high-end boutiques and gourmet restaurants. The famous Via Tragara is a scenic path that end overlooking the Faraglioni sea stacks for a beautiful view. You can also hike or drive up to the highest town on the island, Anacapri. Here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of over the Mediterranean. Get to know the culture and history of the island with a visit to the Punta Carena lighthouse or the Church of San Michele! The paradiscal island has so much to offer that you are sure to leave with unforgettable memories.

If you have enough time for a longer holiday, we highly recommend you to explore nearby destinations on your private yacht charter. Even if you have just a few extra days, there is so much to see in southern Italy that is worth sailing around. In particular, the Amalfi Coast is a charming stretch of coastline filled with an abundance of picturesque villages such as Sorrento and Positano. Then, when you are done wandering the towns, take a dip into the sparkling waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea to cool off before enjoying fresh seafood.

The harbors in Capri

When on Capri, exploring the area by sea and land is a must. When you’re ready to shake your sea legs off, make sure to have a few places to dock in mind.

One a quiet fishing village, Marina Grande is now one of the busiest ports on Capri; many visitors arrive here from the mainland. Of the ports on Capri, Marina Grande is the only one where ferries and private boats dock. Upon your arrival at the marina, make sure to visit the church, which is one of the oldest and most important on the island.

Marina Piccola , located at the foot of Solaro Mountain , is a scenic anchorage post for your Capri boat rental. The bay in this area is safe to dock in, unlike in other bays, thanks to its sandy composition.

Other smaller docking areas can be found around Capri but it is highly recommended to check the anchorage conditions beforehand.

What can you see/do in Capri?

Whether you are visiting Capri for a day or a couple more, you are sure to have a remarkable experience. Just off the coast of the Amalfi Coast, the island of Capri offers a perfect mix of main landmarks and lesser-known gems.

Here are a few ideas of things to do and see while on Capri:

• Blue Grotto, famous for its crystal clear waters and blue color
• Hike up Monte Solaro and get a view of the island from its highest point
• From Capri Town, head to the Natural Arch and enjoy the quiet of the area
• Visit Piazza Umberto I and enjoy people-watching at one of the many outdoor cafes
• Sail to Sorrento or Positano

Renting a boat with a skipper

Don’t have a boating license or one that is valid in Italy or do you simply wish to take full advantage of your yacht rental in all serenity? For comfortable and more peaceful navigation, opt for hiring a skipper for your yacht charter vacation. They will be able to share with you local secrets and tips, and take you to where the locals go; it will be like having a captain and yacht charter guide in one. With a little luck, they will even give you their secret spots to avoid the horde of tourists in the summer.

What boat should I rent?

Choosing the right type of boat can sometimes feel overwhelming. To make things easier, you should ask yourself the following questions: how many people will be on the charter? What activities will you want to do? How long will the charter be? Do I want a captain and/or crew on board?

Some boats are more optimal for certain activities than others. If you have sailing experience and like the challenge of navigating the water, a sailboat is a great way to get an authentic sailing experience. On the other hand, if you’re interested in a day rental to do water activities, you should rent a motorboat. They are a good choice for people who are short on time because they go fast and are typically hired by the day.

When is the best time to go?

Capri’s wonderful climate makes it a charming destination to visit all year round. The best months however to visit are around March straight through to October. During this month, the water temperature is close to 75°F, perfect for enjoying water activities like wakeboarding.

September is by far the most ideal time to visit Capri. During the entire month, you’ll get to enjoy the turquoise waters of Capri all while avoiding the crowds of tourists.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

I have never driven a boat. can i rent one.

Yes, as there are small boats and dinghies which can be rented without a skipper even if you don't have a boating license. We recommend a minimum amount of boating experience to rent a boat independently, however.

Where can I rent a boat on Capri?

Most boat rental and charter companies on Capri are located in Marina Grande, the island's port and marina. This is where most private boat tours will depart from and where you can hire a dinghy or boat without a skipper. There is only one boat rental company based in Marina Piccola, on the southern coast of the island.

What types of boats can I rent?

Based on your budget and the size of your group, you can rent a number of different types of boat, including rubber dinghies, wooden gozzo or lancia boats, speedboats, and yachts. Private boat tours of the island are usually aboard Capri's traditional gozzo or lancia boats, but we recommend a larger speedboat or yacht for a transfer or tour of the Amalfi Coast or Bay of Naples. Here you can find a complete guide to renting a boat on Capri

How many hours should I rent a boat?

You can sail around the entire island of Capri (without stopping) in an hour, but most boat companies offer tours of 2 or 4 hours or for the full day. A two-hour tour is perfect for those visiting the island for one day who also want to see the island by land. A full-day tour is best for those who want to stop for lunch at a waterfront restaurant or take time to swim, but can be tiring for those who are not used to being out on the water. The ideal tour is a four hour trip, which includes enough time to sail around the island, visit the sea caves, and stop for a swim.

Do I need a boating license to rent a boat on Capri without a skipper?

There are small boats and dinghies which can be rented even if you don't have a boating license. We recommend a minimum amount of boating experience to rent a boat independently, however.

How long does it take to cruise around the island?

It takes about 90 minutes to cruise around the entire island of Capri on board a smaller craft. If you want to take in the island, stop for free time to swim and snorkel in the most beautiful coves, snap a few photos under the Faraglioni, and visit the Blue Grotto, consider that it will take about three to four hours with a small-group tour or private boat tour of Capri.

To really unwind and explore the island's coastline at your own pace, consider a full-day tour of the island that often includes time on land to stroll through the Piazzetta in Capri and the quiet center of Anacapri. If you just have an hour or two, opt for a quick sunset boat trip to the Faraglioni that includes a Prosecco or Limoncello toast on board.

What types of boats can I book for a tour or rental on Capri?

The most common type of boat you’ll find on Capri is the traditional wooden “gozzo caprese”, often built by the Fratelli Aprea company. There are gozzo boats in a number of sizes, from those small enough that you can rent one without a boating license to large, luxurious versions that are similar to small yachts. You can also find rubber dinghies, speedboats like the Itama 38 or 40, as well as luxury boats and yachts like the Pershing.

Which port do boat tours depart from?

Boat tours of Capri depart from ports in Sorrento, Naples, Massa Lubrense, Positano, and Amalfi. There are also departures from other towns along the Amalfi Coast. And, of course, you can depart from the port on Capri itself, located in Marina Grande...the same port where ferries to and from the mainland dock.

The weather during these shoulder months remains comfortable and inviting, making it a fantastic time to enjoy boat rentals without the peak tourist crowds of the summer. 

What type of boat is best for a Capri boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Capri, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Capri boat charter!

Nice trip, Gaetano was pleasant, the language barrier was a bit tricky to navigate but overall we were pleased

Loved Danielle! Great trip, would definitely recommend for a tour of capri/amalfi!!

It was very good!!

Great boat trip to Capri. Good experience, superb communication and everything as agreed. Our captain was very skilled accessing the small caves and made the trip a very good experience

AVOID!!! If you are looking for a boat in Italy coast avoid this one and this owner! he will offer you a service like tour of Capri and blue grotto but not give you that service and when questioned he will be very rude! My advice as someone who has been on yachts worldwide, avoid this boat and you will be safe! If not, book at your own risk!

Thank you for our skipper Rafael! :)

Sergei Pavlovich Korolev – the Father of Practical Astronautics

Sergei Korolev (1907 – 1966), Soviet Union 1969 CPA 3731 stamp

On January 12, 1907, lead Soviet rocket engineer and spacecraft designer during the Space Race Sergei Korolev was born. Korolev is regarded by many as the “father of practical astronautics “. He was involved in the development of the R-7 Rocket , Sputnik 1 ,[ 1 ] launching Laika , Belka and Strelka  and the first human being, Yuri Gagarin ,[ 2 ] into space.

“Today we are witnesses to the fulfillment of the dream that occupied some outstanding people, among them Tsiolkovsky. He had prophesied that mankind will not stay on Earth forever. Sputnik is the first confirmation of his predictions. The opening up of space has begun.” – Sergei Korolev, on the night of October 5, 1957, after the successful launch of Sputnik 1.[8]

Sergei Korolev – Youth and Education

Korolev was born in Zhytomyr , the capital of Volhynian Governorate of the Russian Empire. His parents, Russian teachers Maria Nikolaevna Balanina (née Moskalenko),  from a wealthy merchant family with Greek and Cossack roots, and Pavel Yakovlevich Korolev, who was  of Belarusian origin, separated just three years after his birth. Korolev grew up with his grandparents in Neshin . When he was ten years old, the family moved to Odessa . There he completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and roofer. Korolev showed an early interest in aviation and, in addition to his job, worked at the local glider club, constructing his first glider K-5 at the age of 17. In 1925, Korolev began studying at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute . When the Kiev faculty was closed, he transferred to Moscow Technical University (MWTU) in 1926 and graduated. Before that, he completed an internship at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (ZAGI), where he came into contact with the design of powered aircraft. In 1929, together with S. N. Lyushin, Korolev developed and built the Koktebel glider. In the same year, under the guidance of Andrei Tupolev, Korolev created his first powered aircraft SK-4 as his diploma thesis.

First Experiments with Rockets

In the 1930s, Korolev began building rockets as part of MosGIRD, a group founded in 1931 to research recoil propulsion systems. There he received essential impulses for his later work from Friedrich Zander . Together with Zander, whom he considered a mentor, he was involved in the design and construction of the first Soviet hybrid rockets GIRD-09 and GIRD-X , among others. In 1933, he moved to the Rocket Research Institute (RNII) and became head of the Rocket Missile Department in 1934. In the same year, his scientific treatise The Rocket Flight into the Stratosphere was published.

The Great Terror

While working on the RP-318-I rocket-powered glider, Korolyev was arrested by the NKVD’s secret political police during the Great Terror on June 27, 1938. After two days of torture and threats against his family, he signed a confession in which he was forced to identify himself as a member of a counterrevolutionary Trotskyist conspiracy and a participant in acts of sabotage to obstruct development work. He had been denounced under duress by Valentin Glushko ,[ 3 ] who had been arrested three months earlier and who himself spent the period until 1944 in prison. Although innocent, Korolev was sentenced without formal trial on to ten years of hard labor in the gulag and five years of loss of civil rights. After spending time in several prisons and prolonged transportation, he arrived at the notorious Maldyak labor camp in 1939, where he nearly starved to death and became so ill with scurvy that his lower jaw was severely damaged and he lost many teeth.

In the First Circle of Hell

Through interventions of his mother with the support of the well-known pilots Mikhail Gromov and Valentina Grisodubova, the USSR Supreme Court overturned the previous sentence and Korolev was recalled from Maldyak only in November 1939. After renewed interventions by his mother and Gromov with NKVD People’s Commissar Lavrenti Beria , he was sent to the special design office of aircraft designer Andrei Tupolev , who had already supervised Korolyov’s thesis and was also imprisoned. The ZKB-29 special camp for scientists and engineers was under the control of the NKVD and was described from personal experience by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the novel The First Circle of Hell . The ZKB-29 developed the Tupolev Tu-2 dive bomber in Omsk in September 1942.

Petlyakov Pe-2, co-developed by Sergei Korolev

Korolev applied for a job at an aircraft engine plant in Kazan , where Glushko headed the OKB-16 special design bureau for rocket engines under Sharashka conditions. Korolev participated in the development of the Petlyakov Pe-2 multirole aircraft to improve takeoff performance and climb performance with a switchable rocket engine. In 1944, Korolyov and Glushko were paroled from prison early and continued their work on rocket developments as employed engineers of OKB-16. However, Korolev was not officially rehabilitated until April 18, 1957. Korolev’s six-year imprisonment in the Gulag was erased from Communist accounts of the history of technology.

Becoming Chief Designer

After World War II, Korolev rose to become the chief designer of the initially military-only Soviet missile program within the NII (Scientific Research Institute). Korolev’s identity was kept secret during his lifetime, and in public he was referred to only anonymously as the “chief designer.” Korolev’s goal was to develop a civilian rocket program. In 1945, now holding the rank of colonel in the Red Army, he was ordered to Soviet headquarters in Berlin with other engineers and technicians. He was given the task of studying the German rocket program and locating associates of rocket engineer Wernher von Braun who remained in Germany.

The first A4 rocket (from German stocks) is transported to the launch site on a truck trailer. It was launched on 18 October 1947 from the Kapustin Yar test site, Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, CC-BY-4.0

The Soviets placed a priority on reproducing lost documentation on the A4 rocket, and studying the various parts and captured manufacturing facilities. That work continued in East Germany until late 1946, when 2,000+ German scientists and engineers were sent to the USSR through Operation Osoaviakhim . Most of the German experts, Helmut Gröttrup being an exception, were engineers and technicians involved in wartime mass-production of A4, and they had not worked directly with Wernher von Braun. Korolev returned to the Soviet Union in 1946 with plans of German designs and German rocket designers. Among others, Wernher von Braun’s assistant Helmut Gröttrup and aerodynamicist Werner Albring worked on rocket technology development under Korolev’s direction in Kaliningrad (in Moscow oblast) and on Gorodomlya Island (now Solnetchny settlement) in Lake Seliger during this period. The first design resulting from this cooperation was the R-1 rocket of 1948, a copy of the German A4 based on materials available in the Soviet Union. Unlike the U.S., which brought German scientists to the U.S. with its Operation Overcast and ensured their naturalization and retention in the U.S. as early as 1946 with Operation Paperclip, the Soviet Union merely siphoned off their knowledge and used it in the crucial steps for spaceflight.

The Soviet Space Programme

Among Korolyov’s greatest achievements were the construction of the R-7 – the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile – and the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957,[ 1 ] but most importantly, the first space flight by a human, Yuri Gagarin , in 1961.[ 2 ] The R-7  was a two-stage rocket with a maximum payload of 5.4 tons, sufficient to carry the Soviets’ bulky  nuclear bomb  an impressive distance of 7,000 kilometres. However, despite the Soviet R-7 initial success, it experienced later failures as it was not intended to be a practical weapon. Sputnik 1 was designed and constructed in less than a month with Korolev personally managing the assembly at a hectic pace. The satellite was a simple polished metal sphere no bigger than a beach ball, containing batteries that powered a transmitter using 4 external communication antennas. Sputnik 1 was successfully completed and launched into space on 4 October 1957 using a rocket that had successfully launched only once before. After gaining approval from the government, a modified version of Korolev’s R-7 was used to launch Yuri Gagarin into orbit on 12 April 1961, which was before the United States was able to put Alan Shepard into space.

Variants of the R-7 Rocket, (NASA)

Korolev’s group was also working on ambitious programs for missions to Mars and Venus , putting a man in orbit, launching communication, spy and weather satellites, and making a soft-landing on the Moon.

Health Problems and Early Death

In December 1960, Korolev suffered a heart attack, which was followed by others. His cardiac arrhythmias were joined by internal bleeding and intestinal problems. Korolyev was admitted to a Moscow hospital. Doctors were going to remove painful hemorrhoids in a routine operation in January 1966, but in the meantime they discovered a large tumor in his colon and put him under general anesthesia. Tracheal intubation, necessary due to circulatory weakness, failed due to scurvy-related jaw abnormality as a late consequence of Gulag imprisonment; this caused his death on January 14, 1966. The Soviet government honored him by burying his urn in the Kremlin wall. In 1996, the city of Kaliningrad in Moscow Oblast, where he headed the experimental design bureau OKB-1 as chief designer from 1950, was renamed after him.

Losing the Race to the Moon

With Korolev’s death, the Soviet space and lunar programs suffered a bitter loss. Although work on the N1 lunar rocket was continued by his collaborator Vasily Mishin , it was discontinued in 1974 after several launch failures.[ 4 ] The identity of the chief designer remained a state secret in the Soviet Union during his lifetime. While in the U.S. his adversary Wernher von Braun made a high-profile appearance in the press and on television, Korolev was not known even in his own country. When, after the successful launch of Sputnik 1, the Nobel Prize Committee asked Nikita Khrushchev for the name of the chief designer, he replied that it had been the work of the entire Soviet people and that they had thus deserved the award. Only on the occasion of the state funeral in Moscow was this secret revealed.
