Sorrento Sunset Cruise by Cooperativa Azzurra Sorrento

Perched on Italy’s southwestern coast, Sorrento offers a stirring blend of sea, sky, and rugged coastline that beckons outdoor lovers. Cooperativa Azzurra Sorrento’s Sorrento Sunset Experience carves out a distinct niche in this setting—a semi-private boat tour that transports guests into a twilight world of shimmering waters and warm sea breezes along the Sorrentine Peninsula. With a maximum of seven guests aboard a traditional gozzo, this two-hour excursion blends intimate connection with the natural surroundings and the unmistakable charm of the locale.

Departing from Marina Grande, the tour traces the coastline past intriguing landmarks including the remnants of the Roman villa of Pollio Felice at Cape Sorrento and the colorful, character-rich fishing villages of Marina di Puolo and Marina della Lobra. This region is known for its limestone cliffs and turquoise coves, forged by millennia of geological forces that sculpt calm bays perfect for evening swims.

As the sun dips low, the boat anchors offshore to catch the fading light over Capri’s silhouette. Guests sip prosecco, sample local limoncello, and enjoy a taste of Italian aperitivo culture while the sky burns in fiery hues of orange and pink. The experience offers an intimate window onto the ever-changing coastal landscape that reveals both its natural beauty and strong ties to regional history.

Cooperativa Azzurra Sorrento distinguishes itself through its thoughtful group size, expert English-speaking skipper, and carefully curated onboard refreshments, crafting a sensory-rich adventure that appeals equally to couples, solo travelers, and small groups. This is not just a tour—it’s an invitation to witness one of Italy’s most iconic coastlines in a way that’s at once serene and memorable.
