About this tour
A 4-hour coastal cruise departing Sorrento that follows the Amalfi shoreline to the fishing village of Nerano. The boat hugs craggy cliffs and cuts through turquoise waters, stopping at secluded anchorages where you can swim or simply drift. Prosecco and fresh fruit flow on board. Once in Nerano, dock time allows a leisurely lunch at one of the waterfront trattorias—try the local spaghetti speciality—or stay aboard and float in the shallows with a book.

What to expect
The boat leaves Sorrento's port in the morning, heading south into open water. Expect 90 minutes of cruising past the dramatic Sorrento coastline—sheer drops of rock, occasional sea caves, patches of Mediterranean scrub clinging to cliff edges. The crew circulates with prosecco and snacks; most passengers occupy deck loungers or lean over the rails with cameras. After anchoring in a shallow bay, you have the choice: jump overboard and swim, or stay put. Mid-afternoon, the boat enters Nerano's small harbour. You can either climb ashore for a long lunch at one of three restaurants lining the waterfront, or remain on deck. The return journey takes you back north as the light softens.
Good to know
Lunch at Nerano's restaurants is at your expense. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and a light cover-up. The boat rocks gently in swell; if you're prone to seasickness, take precaution beforehand. Water shoes helpful for rocky entry points. Prams and buggies manageable; crew assists boarding.
