I will be staying in Conca Dei Marini and would like to take a boat to Capri.....which is the best way for my party of 11 to get to Capri........I found a private tour boat for 850euro for the day round trip but I would like to find a less expensive way to travel to Capri........

A bus and ferry (hydrofoil) will do. When I was there, I took a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi for a day trip and then a ferry back to Capri from Sorrento. I don't recall the name of the bus company but it was easy to find; same with ferry. It will cost a tiny fraction of the 850 Euro price, which seems outrageous.

thanks, I was aware of the ferry from Amalfi but not sure about its availability on the return trip from Capri to Amalfi with a large group during the high season......does anyone know what the crowds are like and how difficult it is to get a ferry back to Amalfi.......

I don't know the ferry schedule but I'm fairly confident they are frequent during high season. These ferries hold a lot of people, so I wouldn't be too worried that you have a party of 11 (if you can book ahead, then great). I never travel with a big group but I would imagine that you would may want to avoid the last ferry out so that you have a bit of a cushion. Going to Capri is a massive and popular tourist operation so there will be lots of people (and ferries to accommodate them, since there's no other way to get there that I know of).
