The Destinations
Capri is just a short hop across the sea from Sorrento. The famous Blue Grotto is just one of several caves that you can visit from the water and just look at that water!
|
Positano is the Amalfi Coast's premier destination. Visitors are attracted to its cliff-hugging houses and narrow winding streets full of fascinating shops.
|
The diminutive Amalfi was once a mighty maritime republic and you can see the trappings of its historical success with the stunning 9th century Cathedral.
|
Ischia remained under the radar of most European tourists for years but is a huge favourite for Italians. It retains a particular Italian charm and a beautiful coastline to match.
|
Once the most important city in Europe, modern-day Naples is a heady cocktail of historical sights, bustling streets and the epitome of exuberant southern Italian culture.
|
Sleepy Procida was the setting for the film Il Postino and can boast one of the most beautiful sights in Italy: the multi-coloured harbour Marina Corricella.

The Tours
We provide tours in a range of traditional Italian boats known as Gozzos. The boats are well-equipped with on-board WCs, plenty of places to sit or sunbathe and of course, canopies to provide shade against the southern Italian sunshine.
As part of the package we'll provide you with an English-speaking skipper who'll look after you throughout the day. The packages also include all fuel charges, towels, drinks throughout the day (Coca Cola/other sodas & soft drinks, canned beers, red & white wine, Prosecco, Limoncello and water) and snacks including fresh fruit and bread.
If you’re staying in a hotel in the centre of Sorrento, we can also provide taxis to and from the port included in the package prices listed below. If you’re not sure if your hotel qualifies for the complimentary taxi service please let us know where you’ll be staying and we can check that for you.
Each of the tours listed is a full day tour lasting 8 hours, starting from Marina Piccola in Sorrento. You can choose the start time of the tour but please be aware, if the boat returns to Sorrento after 7 pm there is a fee of 30% of the tour price applicable. We recommend starting the tours at 10 am and finishing at 6 pm.
Our skippers know all the best places where you can stop for a swim in beautiful clear water and can also offer suggestions on a number of restaurants that can be accessed from the sea. In every case, our skipper will give you suggestions including rough price per person and any other information that you may require. We understand some of you may not want to swim, particularly if taking a tour in low season so don't worry, you will not be forced or encouraged to enter the water if you don't want to. It's your day, we want to make you happy and the skipper is there to help make it a memorable experience for you.
The tours we offer are all private tours. This means you won't be sharing your boat with people you don't know and you can therefore decide which boat size or type will suit you best. If you're in a smaller group and you're looking to share with others to split the costs, just drop us a line and we'll try to accommodate you with others who may be looking to share as well.
When you see the prices further down you'll notice there's an asterisk (*) next to the tours that involve Capri. The local authorities in Capri impose a tax of €100 should you wish to get off the boat in Marina Grande (the main commercial port on the island). If you don’t get off the boat or if you get off the boat in Marina Piccola on the other side of the island, no tax is applicable.
