Details

Sorrento, perched on Italy’s southwestern edge overlooking the Bay of Naples, is a gateway to one of the Mediterranean’s most striking coastal panoramas. PdG Boat Tours offers a private full-day boat journey that unlocks the vibrant shores of the Amalfi Coast and two of its crown jewels: Positano and Capri. This isn’t just a ride along the water—it’s an intimate passage through a seascape where towering cliffs punctuate the horizon and sapphire waves reflect endless skies.

Departing from Sorrento’s harbor, the boat glides past sheer limestone cliffs draped with lush vegetation and cascading bougainvillea. The itinerary balances scenic cruising with rewarding stops—hidden coastal coves provide opportunities for swimming in crystalline waters, away from the crowds that often crowd the mainland beaches. Positano, with its steep cliffside houses and narrow streets, showcases a vibrant intersection of nature and history, making for stunning shore excursions.

Capri’s natural wonders await next, where the famously rugged island features dramatic sea caves, including the legendary Blue Grotto, and jagged rock formations formed from ancient volcanic activity. The surrounding waters teem with marine life, and the island’s Mediterranean pines and wildflowers add bursts of color as you wander its rocky trails or sip espresso at a harbor café.

PdG Boat Tours specializes in small-group, customized voyages, providing a pace and personal touch that larger tour operations can’t match. Their knowledgeable crews not only navigate the coastal waters with expertise but also share local insights on geology, culture, and sustainable tourism in this delicate ecosystem. Whether you’re here for a swim, a sail, or simply to soak in Italy’s maritime spirit, this boat tour delivers an authentic, unhurried experience that celebrates the essence of 'dolce vita.'
