What is the experience that every visitor to Capri cannot miss? For us at Guide of Capri, the answer is simple: experiencing its beautiful sea in all its glory with a boat tour. We mentioned it in our article Soggiorno a Capri: cosa fare? (Stay in Capri: What to do?), and among the five must-do activities, a boat excursion was at the top of the list. Many tour operators offer boat rental services with a sailor in Capri, and one of the best is undoubtedly Aurora Time.
When History is a Guarantee
One of Aurora Time’s strengths is its history: the business has a long family tradition behind it. In fact, it all started not with boat rentals, but with scooter rentals—an agile and practical means of transport, ideal for getting around an island like Capri. Later, thanks to Grandfather Catello, who spent his youth aboard navy ships, the company expanded into chartering and excursions in 1960. Aurora Time’s services have grown ever since, becoming one of the best options for boat rentals with a sailor in Capri. After Grandfather Catello, his heirs continued his legacy, with the business now run by his grandson, Ciro Alfano.
The Ideal Vessel for Everyone
Today, Aurora Time offers many services: from scooter and boat rentals to private transfers, typical Capri gozzo boat excursions, and luxury yachts. Customers can book a boat without a sailor to steer themselves or explore the island aboard a typical Capri gozzo with a skipper. For those looking for a more luxurious experience, there’s the Super Luxury Motorboat for enjoying the Caprese coastline in style. And it doesn’t stop there—Aurora Time also organizes island tours with visits to all the caves, and offers private transfers to and from any port in the two Gulfs. For romantic getaways, sunset excursions with an aperitif on board and dinner tours along the coast, including a moonlit cruise past the Faraglioni, are available.
Who Chooses Aurora Time
Aurora Time’s clientele varies depending on the service: the Capri gozzo tour and dinghy rental attract a “quick stop” tourist, those visiting Capri for just a few hours, while the luxury motorboats are favored by a more medium-to-high-end clientele, with 90% of guests staying in hotels on Capri. Celebrities also choose Aurora Time’s services—just take a look at the gallery on the website or their Instagram profile to see numerous photos of VIP clients using their boats.
Live an Experience in 360°
But Aurora Time isn’t just a company specializing in boat rental with a sailor in Capri. Their private tours are fully customizable by the client and strictly individual. They are true experiences, designed to fulfill the desires and expectations of every guest, leaving them with an unforgettable memory of their visit to Capri. Here’s an example of one of their typical tours, giving you a taste of the emotions you could experience: the tour includes a round-island cruise with stops at the caves and lunch in Nerano, offering a glimpse of the stunning Amalfi Coast.
