About this tour

What to expect
You'll board in Sorrento and head south along vertical cliffs and hidden inlets. The skipper will pilot you into spots most land tourists never reach—small beaches accessible only by water, where you can jump in and snorkel. You'll drift past Positano's stacked buildings and Amalfi's waterfront without fighting footfall on narrow streets. Expect three to four swim stops, calm water conditions (weather dependent), and pockets of silence between villages. Bring a book or simply watch the coastline change colour as light shifts; this is not a sightseeing checklist but a chance to move at water speed.
Good to know
A fuel surcharge of €400 applies at check-in. Young children and infants are welcome; prams can come aboard but infants must sit on an adult's lap in the water. Not suitable for those with spinal or serious heart conditions. Public transport reaches the departure point. Bring sunscreen despite the boat's shade; water reflects strongly.
