Catch the Sorrento coast at golden hour aboard a traditional gozzo. This private two-hour cruise mixes coastal caves, a swim by Roman villa remains, and an aperitivo as the sun falls over the Bay of Naples.

The sun leans low over the Sorrento coastline and the sea answers back in bands of orange and copper. You step aboard a traditional gozzo — a low, wooden Sicilian-style boat — and the skipper eases out from the pier. The shoreline slides past: pastel houses, fishermen’s slips, and the jagged mouths of coastal caves that catch the dying light.
