Board a private boat in Sorrento for a 100–120 minute sunset cruise to Seiano: swim in clear water, savor a paper cone of sea cuoppo, and watch Vesuvius lower its shadow over the Gulf of Naples. Ideal for light evening adventures and small private groups.

The bow parts the blue of the Bay of Naples as the sun lowers, and the cliffs of Sorrento slide astern. Riders feel the salt on their lips while the captain steers toward Marina di Seiano; Vesuvius sits broad and patient on the far horizon, the coast of Vico Equense cutting a clean line between sea and sky. Guests anchor in a small bay, plunge into clear water, then return to the boat for a hot paper cone of sea cuoppo as the sunset paints the gulf.
