Capri rises out of the sea off the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, a steep island ringed by cliffs that drop straight into deep blue water. From a boat you circle it at sea level. From a helicopter you take in the whole island at once and see how it lines up with the mainland behind it. On the private flights of the Amalfi Coast hub, Capri is the island on a route that is otherwise all coastline and cliff-top towns.
All three tours name Capri on their route. The Amalfi Coast from Naples 60-Minute Private Helicopter Tour takes off and lands at Naples Airport, from €3,100 (EUR) per helicopter for up to 6 guests, about 60 minutes in the air. The Sorrento tour starts closest to the island, from €3,900 per helicopter, about 60 minutes. The Ravello tour sets out from the Amalfi Coast side, about 50 minutes, from €3,600 per helicopter. Whichever you choose, the helicopter is yours alone, and the price stays the same whether two or six of you fly.
The Faraglioni, the rock stacks off Capri’s shore, may be seen on a clear day, but no tour names them as part of the route, so treat them as a bonus rather than a promise. What every tour does name is Capri together with Positano, Amalfi and Sorrento. One flight puts the island and the best-known towns of the mainland in the same trip, each seen from the angle that shows how the coast fits together.
There is no landing on Capri on these tours and no stop on the way; each flight returns to its departure point. If you want time on the island itself, plan that separately; these flights are about seeing Capri whole from above, not walking its streets. The captain may cancel for weather that could affect safety. If that happens you may be offered another time, and if you decline it you get a refund as flight credit, or in cash on request. Extra flight time, or a change of route once you are booked, is charged on top of the price.
Because each tour is a private charter, the from-price covers the whole helicopter for up to 6 guests, with VAT included. Transfers to or from the helipad are available on request at extra cost. After payment the operations office contacts you to set the take-off time and meeting point and to collect every passenger’s ID details. The weight limit is 109 kg per passenger. Pack light: about one soft medium bag and one very small hand item each, with more luggage only on request and at extra cost.
Charges apply from the moment the flight is confirmed: 10% at first, rising to 30%, 50% and 75% as the date nears, and 100% within 24 hours or for a no-show. If Capri is why you want to fly and you are based in Naples, book the Naples tour on the Amalfi Coast hub. Staying in Sorrento or on the Amalfi Coast? Compare the other two departures on the same page; both fly over the island too.
