About this tour
Spend two hours cruising the Sorrento coastline aboard a private boat, exploring dramatic limestone cliffs, abandoned fishing villages, and secluded swimming spots along the Tyrrhenian Sea. Your English-speaking skipper shares local history—Roman ruins, defensive towers, views of Mount Vesuvius—while you relax on deck. The tour wraps with a limoncello tasting and prosecco, making it ideal for couples, families, or small groups wanting to avoid the main beaches.

What to expect
You'll board a well-equipped private boat with all safety gear provided. The skipper takes the helm, steering past steep cliffs and into quiet bays while narrating the area's history and pointing out landmarks. Most tours include a swim stop where you can dive straight into the water—bring or use the provided masks. Onboard facilities include a freshwater shower, toilet, and shaded seating. Around midway through, you'll taste local limoncello and sip prosecco while snacking on seasonal fruit. The pace is relaxed; there's no rushing.
