The boat slips away from Marina Grande as the low sun begins to silver the bay; gulls wheel and the cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula deepen from ochre to rust. Guests settle on cushions, a chilled bottle of Prosecco is cracked, and the skipper steers a slow line along sea-cut limestone cliffs toward a quiet cove.

The boat slips away from Marina Grande as the low sun begins to silver the bay; gulls wheel and the cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula deepen from ochre to rust. Guests settle on cushions, a chilled bottle of Prosecco is cracked, and the skipper steers a slow line along sea-cut limestone cliffs toward a quiet cove.
This short, private cruise follows a coastline shaped by volcanic activity and marine erosion — steep tufa and limestone faces, scattered grottos and the remnants of Roman seaside villas where bath platforms still drop into clear water. The towns along the shore—Sorrento, Piano di Sorrento and Vico Equense—bear the marks of layered history: Greek and Roman foundations, medieval watchtowers and the citrus agriculture that made limoncello a local icon.
Culturally the ride is simple: an aperitif and light bites, time to swim off rocky platforms, and the slow spectacle of sunset over Ischia and Capri on the horizon. The trip is designed for easy enjoyment rather than heavy sailing; the vessel is crewed, snorkeling gear is provided, and the route typically includes a stop by exposed archaeological remains.
Practical guidance: bring sunscreen and a light windlayer for cooler evenings, wear non-slip shoes for boarding, and pack a swimsuit and quick-dry towel. If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand—this is a relaxed cruise but the Tyrrhenian can produce chop. Arrive 10–15 minutes early at the chosen marina, confirm your pick-up point when you book, and remember the tour’s two-hour window is fixed—plan transfers accordingly.
