As daylight softens and the coastline takes on warmer tones, this private sunset cruise offers a calm and intimate way to experience the Sorrento Peninsula from the sea. A traditional wooden gozzo provides a relaxed setting for couples, families, or small groups looking to enjoy coastal scenery, gentle cruising, and the quiet beauty of early evening on the water. With a local skipper at the helm, the focus is on slowing the pace and making the most of the final light of the day.
Your experience begins at Marina Piccola, where you’ll meet your skipper and step aboard the Jeranto 7.50. After a short safety briefing, the boat eases away from the harbour and follows the coastline at an unhurried pace. The late-afternoon light creates soft reflections on the water, setting a relaxed tone as the noise of the port fades behind you. Drinks are served on board, allowing you to settle in and enjoy the moment from the very start.
Cruising along the Sorrento coast, you’ll pass Marina Grande, where colourful fishing boats and waterfront houses reflect centuries of local maritime life. The route continues toward the ruins of the Villa of Pollio Felice at Regina Giovanna, with its dramatic headland and natural pool carved into the rock. Rivolo Bay and the old Saracen watchtowers appear along the way, offering quiet viewpoints that feel far removed from busy daytime traffic.
As the sun drops lower, the skipper slows the pace, giving you time to take photos, relax on deck, or simply watch the changing colours across the cliffs and sea. If conditions allow, there may be an opportunity for a short swim before the light fades. The return journey to Sorrento is calm and reflective, with the coastline silhouetted against the evening sky, marking a gentle and memorable end to the day.
The tour departs from Marina Piccola in Sorrento, located just below the town centre and easily reached on foot, by taxi, or via local transport. The marina is well organised, making boarding straightforward and stress-free.
Once on the water, the route remains close to shore, allowing guests to enjoy familiar landmarks from a different angle while staying within sheltered coastal waters, ideal for a smooth sunset cruise.
This experience is suitable for all ages, provided guests can step on and off the boat with minimal assistance. Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, and life jackets are available on board.
Guests who are pregnant or have mobility limitations should consider the boat layout and sea conditions before booking. All participants are expected to follow the skipper’s guidance to ensure a safe and comfortable outing.
This sunset cruise is designed around simplicity and atmosphere rather than packed itineraries. The traditional gozzo offers a connection to local boating heritage while providing comfort, shade, and space to relax.
With a private skipper and flexible pacing, the experience adapts to your group’s preferences, whether that means quiet cruising, photography, or celebrating a special occasion as the sun sets over the water.
The sunset experience is completely private, with the boat reserved exclusively for your group. No other guests will be on board.
This allows you to enjoy the evening at your own pace, with music, conversation, and stops tailored to your preferences.
The Jeranto 7.50 comfortably accommodates up to six guests. This ensures enough space to relax and move around safely.
Smaller groups also allow the skipper to focus fully on your experience rather than managing a large crowd.
A swim stop may be possible if sea and weather conditions allow and if your group wishes to do so.
As this is a sunset cruise, swimming is optional and usually brief, keeping the focus on scenery and relaxation.
A selection of soft drinks, beer, prosecco, and limoncello is included during the cruise.
Guests are welcome to enjoy drinks throughout the journey while watching the coastline change with the evening light.
Children are welcome on board when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Life jackets are available in appropriate sizes.
The calm route and short duration make this a comfortable option for families seeking a gentle evening activity.
It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, a light jacket for later in the evening, and a phone or camera for photos.
Swimwear is optional if you’d like to swim, though many guests simply relax and enjoy the views from the deck.
The quiet setting, private boat, and sunset timing make this experience particularly popular for romantic evenings and celebrations.
With flexible pacing and optional extras, it can easily be personalised to suit your plans.
