The morning light on the Bay of Naples strips the water to silver as the gozzo eases away from Sorrento’s harbor. Guests settle on teak benches, the skipper cutting a low wake toward Capri; the sea smells faintly of salt and lemon.

Book morning departures
Morning crossings generally have calmer seas for grotto access and clearer water for swimming; aim for the earliest slot available.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks get wet during swim stops — boat shoes or sandals with grip protect feet and improve boarding safety.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phone, passport and a light layer dry — ziploc bags aren’t reliable on wave-splashed decks.
Confirm pickup and meeting point
Check WhatsApp/email after booking for exact pickup instructions; hotel pickup is available from Sorrento when selected.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local marine life during extended sun exposure on deck and at swim stops.
