You push off from Marina Grande and the harbor lets go of you; the water pulls you along the cliff’s foot like a guide. In minutes the jagged limestone of Sorrento drops away into clear blue, and the small group spreads out to take the coves at a slow, steady rhythm. Sea spray dares you to lean forward and look down.

Apply reef-safe sunscreen before launch to protect both your skin and the coastal marine environment.
Keep Hydrated
