About this tour
Cruise the Sorrento coastline over four to five hours, anchoring at secluded beaches and rocky coves for swimming and snorkelling. You'll drift past Marina Grande, Queen Giovanna's historic baths, and the dramatic Vervece rock formation, skirting towards Capri before landing at Nerano—a fishing village where lunch at waterfront restaurants is within reach. The pace is unhurried, designed for those who'd rather glide and dip than rush.

What to expect
You'll board a boat and head eastward along the Sorrento peninsula's southern edge. The captain will plot stops at a handful of swimming spots—some sandy, others rocky—where the water is calm and clear enough for decent snorkelling. Expect minimal crowds on this route. You'll have time to float and explore underwater, then move on. The journey takes you past several recognisable landmarks: the pastel-painted harbour at Marina Grande, the Roman-era baths carved into cliffs, and eventually the jagged Vervece rock. Nerano appears as the final waypoint—a proper village with restaurants serving fresh catch, perfect for a leisurely lunch break before the return leg.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and a light layer; the sea breeze can catch you unaware. Snorkelling kit is supplied, though bring your own mask if fit matters to you. Nerano has proper eateries but book ahead in summer. Small children and infants travel free, and prams can stow easily.
