Semi-Private/Small Group Boat Tours

The Sorrento Exclusive Group Boat Tours allow you to enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of the local area, soak up its history and make some new friends along the way.

Group sizes are kept to a minimum to ensure you always have plenty of space on our boats and travel in comfort.

The tours allow you to visit places like Capri, the Amalfi Coast and the Sorrento Peninsula from the water, providing a completely different perspective on the coastline's natural beauty that can't always be perceived from the land. We can also use the boats to help you visit historic Pompeii and the imposing Mount Vesuvius.

Starting from the nearby port of Piano di Sorrento, the excursion makes its way past Sorrento's Marina Grande before cruising along the sights of Peninsula such as the island group of Li Galli.

Those that want to swim in the bay can, while others will just want to admire its beauty and get some wonderful photos.

Aside from the Bay of Jeranto, this tour also takes in the pretty coastline of the Sorrento Peninsula as well as that of the Amalfi Coast. We stop in both Positano and Amalfi where you have time to explore the towns on foot or spend time in a cafe watching the world go by.

Ischia and Procida Boat Tour

The Ischia and Procida Boat Tour takes in two of Italy's favourite islands in the same day. Slightly further afield from Sorrento than the island of Capri, both Ischia and Procida have been charming visitors for years.

Setting out from Sorrento on Tuesday and Friday mornings, the excursion first heads to Ischia where a circuit of the island is followed by free time for you to explore it on foot. Just a short distance across the water from Ischia lies Procida which was the Italian Capital of Culture in 2022 and has been creating a buzz internationally ever since.

Rome to Amalfi Coast Round Trip with Boat Tour

The Rome to Amalfi Coast Round-trip with Boat Tour is a whistle-stop experience that connects two of Italy's UNESCO World Heritage sites in one day. The distance between Rome and the Amalfi Coast means the only way to make the trip possible in a single day is by taking advantage of the high-speed rail link between the capital and Naples.

It takes just an hour and a quarter from Rome to Naples using the fast trains or a round-trip of two and a half hours. We provide a driver to meet you as you step off the train in Naples who will then take you to our boat waiting at the city's marina. This saves time against the road journey and means you can view the stunning coastline while out on deck in the sunshine.

Over the course of the day you get to see the two main towns on the Amalfi Coast: Positano and Amalfi itself, with time for sightseeing, lunch and sunbathing on the boat.
