Details

Sorrento, on Italy’s famed Amalfi Coast, is a rugged coastline where cliffs plunge steeply into the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This stunning stretch of Napoli’s coastline is known for its blend of natural beauty and rich maritime heritage. Sorrento Sea Tours offers a prime way to savor this marine landscape aboard their flagship, the Barca Fratelli Aprea 36, an elegantly modern vessel engineered for comfort, convenience, and style.

Designed to carry up to 12 guests, the Fratelli Aprea 36 combines spacious deck areas with practical luxury: a hard top for sunshade, multiple cabins for privacy, a fully equipped kitchen, and entertainment systems onboard. This 8-hour waterborne journey offers something unique to the region—a blend of intimate group luxury sailing paired with uninterrupted views of Sorrento’s cliffs and nearby islands like Capri.

The tour often includes navigating around the prominent Punta Campanella promontory, rich with dramatic sea caves and striking limestone formations. Vegetation along the cliffs—Mediterranean scrub, ancient olive groves—adds texture to the experience, while passing fishing villages reveal layers of local life.

Sorrento Sea Tours excels not just in boat quality but in tailoring the day—whether it’s a calm cruise with a gourmet meal or a lively day filled with swimming stops in crystalline coves. Their emphasis on close, personalized service distinguishes them among Amalfi’s crowded charter options. For those drawn to Italy’s coastal outdoors, this trip blends a sense of discovery with ease of access, setting a new standard for sea-based adventures in the region.
