Cruise from Sorrento to Capri with PdG Boat Tours on a private sunset boat trip featuring hidden grottos, swimming, and historic ruins. Discover a one-of-a-kind coastal experience under the warm Italian sky.
Set on Italy’s sun-drenched Amalfi Coast, Sorrento serves as a gateway to one of the Mediterranean’s most dazzling maritime adventures. PdG Boat Tours offers an intimate way to experience this—through their Capri Sunset Boat Tour, a private voyage that navigates the crystalline waters toward the island of Capri. This trip strikes a fine balance between leisurely and adventurous, revealing coastal wonders that lie beyond the reach of crowds.
The journey from Sorrento skirts the rugged cliffs and sparkling sea that define this region, unfolding a vivid panorama of rock-strewn shores and lemon groves perched overhead. The tour highlights include stops at natural swimming spots and a chance to admire the Baths of Queen Giovanna — secluded ruins framed by sheer cliffs where myth and history merge. The boat slips carefully into hidden grottos, their caverns lit by flickering light and water reflecting walls of limestone and tuff, a geological signature of Capri’s volcanic past.
Most captivating is the timing: the tour runs into the sunset, transforming the sky into a wash of amber and rose hues. Floating near a calm cove, the water’s surface mirrors the changing light, offering a serene setting for swimming or simply soaking in the glimmers of ‘dolce vita.’ Whether you come alone, as a couple, or with family, the atmosphere is respectful and relaxed, far removed from the busy beaches inland.
PdG Boat Tours stands out for its personal approach, small-group settings, and commitment to authentic local experiences. The company operates from Sorrento, connecting visitors to the island’s iconic coastline and cultural landmarks in a way that feels exclusive but accessible. This trip isn’t just sightseeing—it’s a direct encounter with the sea and sky, where geology, history, and leisure converge.
