Sparviere Boat Tours invites travelers to savor the Gulf of Naples like never before, combining the romance of a private sunset cruise with the rich natural beauty and cultural charm of Campania’s shoreline.

The Private Sunset Tour from Sorrento is tailored for those seeking a blend of tranquility and sensory delight on the water. As your boat departs from Massa Lubrense’s marina, the coast unfolds in an array of limestone cliffs tumbling into the Tyrrhenian Sea, crowned by terraced lemon groves and ancient olive trees.
