The boat slips away from Sorrento's marina as the sun tips toward the Gulf of Naples, and the sea takes center stage—warm air, the clink of a prosecco flute and a skipper who knows every cove. Over the next two hours you'll glide beneath ledges and past low cliffs, watch light crawl across sea caves and feel the current nudge the hull as the sky deepens.

Bring a windproof layer
After sunset the breeze off the Gulf of Naples can be chilly; a lightweight jacket keeps you comfortable on deck.
Protect against sun and glare
Sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen and a hat are useful even late afternoon—reflected light off the sea intensifies UV exposure.
Plan for a swim
If you want to swim, wear or pack swimwear and a quick-dry towel; the boat anchors in sheltered spots for easy entry.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is minimized.
Sunhat & sunglasses
