Boat tours in Sorrento: the beauty of the Sorrento coastline as seen from the sea

Sorrento is an ideal starting point for visiting the beautiful coast of Campania. Those in town cannot miss a scenic tour of the Sorrento Peninsula. We have already mentioned the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, but there are several must-see locations. Punta Campanella, at the far end of the promontory, is a marine protected area that rises right in front of Capri, offering enchanting views. The Bay of Ieranto is a natural inlet characterized by particularly clean and crystal clear waters.

These places are mandatory stops on any boat tour departing from Sorrento. Continuing to sail towards Amalfi, you encounter the Crapolla Fjord, another picturesque natural inlet, and the Li Galli Archipelago. These three small islands are almost completely untouched and shrouded in ancient legends.

Boat tours from Sorrento to Capri

Sorrento is the starting point for many boat tours to Capri. In a few minutes of sailing, you reach Marina Grande and from there you begin to circumnavigate the island. Most scenic tours, in fact, involve a complete tour around Capri. With a boat, you can reach small beaches and hidden bays to enjoy wonderful dips in the clear waters. The tours usually pass the Faraglioni, the island’s symbol, and the Natural Arch, a rocky structure in the shape of an arch, created as a result of erosive phenomena.

Many boat tours also include a visit to the Blue Grotto, one of Capri’s main attractions, famous for the bright blue color of its waters. But the Green Cave and White Cave are equally impressive, and more easily accessible. Other attractions that can be admired from the boat include the Punta Carena lighthouse, Curzio Malaparte’s villa.

Boat tours to Capri from Sorrento last half a day or a full day. In this case, the tour’s schedule allows you to spend a break of several hours on the island, wandering the picturesque streets and capturing the many “belvedere”. Don’t waste the opportunity to take a look at the luxurious boutiques and eat an ice cream or slice of torta caprese in the small panoramic square.

Boat tours from Sorrento to Positano

Positano is considered the “pearl of the Amalfi Coast,” the most exclusive and the most photographed destination, thanks to the endless picturesque views it offers. Reaching it by boat from Sorrento or Amalfi is the best choice. This allows you to enjoy the coastal scenery, stop for a swim in the coves, and avoid the traffic that often clogs the roads, especially in high season.

To reach Positano from Sorrento, you sail along the Sorrento Coast, round Punta Campanella and then continue in the direction of Amalfi. Along the way, you encounter many places of interest, such as the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, the Bay of Ieranto, the Fiordo di Crapolla, the Li Galli Islands and other caves and coves. Once in Positano, be sure to take a tour of the center among the elegant villas overlooking the sea and among the small stores selling souvenirs, and food and wine specialties.

Boat tours from Sorrento to the Amalfi Coast

A tour of the Amalfi Coast by sea includes at least the two stops at Positano and Amalfi. The Ancient Maritime Republic of Amalfi is the landmark of the coast. Its beautiful cathedral and tangle of alleys and stairways are certainly worth a visit. Between Amalfi and Positano, you can stop for a swim near the Fiordo di Furore, a deep inlet of emerald-colored water between two sheer rocky ridges.

Some boat tours also allow a stop at the Emerald Grotto. To go inside the karst cave, it is necessary to board special rafts, paying a separate ticket. Continuing in the direction of Salerno, past Amalfi, you encounter Atrani, Minori and Maiori, charming villages that deserve at least a visit from the sea.

Private boat tours and exclusive experiences

Boat trips to Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast can be of two types: private tours or group tours, that is shared with other passengers. A private tour is the preferred choice for those who want an exclusive experience and total privacy and tranquility on board. Private tours include boat rental with skipper. They follow the same itineraries as the shared tours, but can also be customized according to clients’ preferences. They lend themselves to special occasions such as private parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, honeymoons and more.

There is also a whole range of offers that combine the boat tour with other recreational activities. For example, sunset boat tours with aperitif, boat tours with lunch or dinner, mini-cruises with overnight stay. In short, those who wish to go by sea to the Sorrento and Amalfi Coast are spoiled for choice!

A trip to dreamy places, lulled by the sea and pampered by the crew, will be a lasting memory. Therefore, a boat tour can be a great idea for a birthday gift, anniversary or any other occasion.
