About this tour
Sail the Sorrento coastline during the golden hour on a chartered vessel with a professional skipper. This two-hour private tour takes you past dramatic cliffs and islands—Capri and Mount Vesuvius dominating the skyline—as daylight shifts into dusk. Pause for a swim in a quiet cove if you wish, or remain aboard sipping prosecco and limoncello while the Mediterranean colours deepen. The boat is yours alone, the crew fluent in English, and the whole experience designed for unhurried appreciation rather than rushed sightseeing.
Highlights

- Views of Capri, Mount Vesuvius, and the Gulf from the water
- Optional swim stop in a sheltered bay
- Prosecco, limoncello, and antipasti served onboard
- Professional English-speaking skipper handles navigation
- Beach towels provided; soft music sets the tone
What to expect
You'll board your private boat near Sorrento and head out as the sun begins its descent. The skipper pilots you along the coast, pointing out landmarks and anchoring near spots worth lingering over. If swimming appeals, you'll drop anchor in a bay calm enough for a dip; otherwise, stay aboard with a drink and let the light show unfold. As dusk arrives, the sky transforms through shades of orange and pink. Prosecco and local limoncello appear, along with light snacks. The pace is entirely yours—you set the mood, whether that's contemplative silence or conversation with companions.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and sunglasses; the water reflects intensely. The tour isn't suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal or cardiovascular concerns. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; prams can come aboard. Tips for the skipper are optional. Public transport reaches the departure point easily.
