The morning light off Sorrento throws a ribbon of silver across the Bay of Naples as your small boat eases away from the port. Salt air pushes against the hull, the captain trims the sails—or in this case, the engine—and the coastline unfurls: ochre houses clinging to steep terraces, cliffs scoring the horizon, and sea that dares you to jump in.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The boat offers shade but you’ll be exposed during cruise and swims; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life.
Wear grippy sandals
Cobblestone alleys and rocky beaches in Amalfi and Positano are easier on feet with closed-toe water shoes or sturdy sandals.
Time your photos
Golden hour light hits the cliff faces late in the day—plan scenic photos at the end of the tour when the coast glows.
Pack motion-sickness remedies
Open sea stretches can be choppy; if you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is least noticeable.
