You’ll start by meeting your skipper at the harbour in Sorrento where you’ll get a briefing before leaving the marina. The journey begins along the Sorrento Peninsula with views of dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, giving you a first taste of the coastal scenery. As you proceed toward Positano you can relax on sunbeds or in shaded seating, sip a drink and chat with your group. Sea and weather conditions permitting you’ll take breaks in clear waters to swim or snorkel off the side of the boat.
Once in view of Positano’s colourful cliffsides, you’ll have time ashore at your own pace — stroll through the winding lanes, browse boutiques or find a café by the water. When you’re ready, the skipper will help you back on board and set out for the return cruise to Sorrento. On the way back you’ll enjoy further coastline views and can relax with drinks as the boat carries you toward the harbour.
This experience starts at the beautiful waterfront of Sorrento, a town perched above the Bay of Naples with views across to Capri and Mount Vesuvius. It’s a wonderful setting to begin a day on the water, with easy access to the harbour from much of the town centre. From here you’ll head south, cruising past the limestone cliffs and sea caves that characterise this stretch of coast.
Positano lies along Italy’s Amalfi Coast and is known for its steep hillside, pastel buildings, and pebble beaches. After a peaceful ride along the water you’ll arrive in this iconic town where narrow streets and seaside views await. It’s a great place to spend a few hours walking, taking photos, or enjoying a snack before your return to Sorrento.
All guests should be able to board the boat independently or with minimal help, and children must be supervised by a parent or guardian throughout the tour.
