More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the quay at Ruccio bar in the port of Sorrento, the harbor buzz soft under a pale morning sky, and the boat’s diesel hum becomes your tempo. Within forty minutes the coastline slips behind you: cliffs shading into pebbled coves, fishermen’s houses at Marina di Puolo, and the promontory of Bagni della Regina Giovanna where Roman ruins press close to the sea.

Conservation
Capri and the Sorrentine coast limit mooring and landing to protect fragile coastal habitats; use reef-safe products, avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, and carry out all trash.

Bring cash for the Capri landing fee
If you plan to go ashore, bring €100 per boat for the municipal disembarkation fee or plan to dine at a seaside restaurant that covers it.
Protect against sun and glare
Long hours on deck mean strong sun; use reef-safe sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a brimmed hat.
Plan for mild swell
Even on calm days the Tyrrhenian can roll—secure loose items and have seasickness meds handy if you get queasy.
Pack footwear for barefoot and boarding
Slip-resistant water shoes or sandals make boarding tenders and scrambling on wet rocks easier.
