🛥️ Boat tour Experience: Sorrento, Ieranto Bay and Amalfi coast from Sorrento

🌍 Overview

Step aboard an elegant hybrid gozzo for the Boat tour Experience: Sorrento, Ieranto Bay and Amalfi coast from Sorrento, an eco-friendly full-day cruise along one of Italy’s most iconic coastlines. Glide in total silence past Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi, and enjoy exclusive access to the protected Bay of Ieranto, a natural paradise normally off-limits to diesel boats. With only 8 guests on board, this intimate experience blends relaxation, swimming, sightseeing, and sustainability in equal measure.

🧭 What to Expect

Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or agreed meeting point and a short transfer to the port of Piano di Sorrento. Here you will meet your experienced captain and step onto a refined, eco-sustainable hybrid motor gozzo, designed for quiet, low-impact cruising with a maximum of just 8 guests.

As you leave Sorrento behind, you will sail along the coast, passing the ancient fishing village of Marina Grande, the Roman villa remains at Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall cascading directly from the rock. Thanks to the hybrid engine and zero emissions, the boat can enter the Protected Marine Area of the Bay of Ieranto, giving you rare and exclusive access to this tranquil, crystal-clear haven.

Along the route toward the Amalfi Coast, you will admire Li Galli Island, Nerano, Praiano, the dramatic Fiordo di Furore, and the Emerald Grotto from the sea. There will be a couple of relaxed stops for swimming and snorkeling in the clear waters, as well as a refreshing break on board with snacks and drinks provided.

On arrival in Amalfi, enjoy 1 to 2 hours of free time to explore the historic Maritime Republic at your own pace. Back on board, you continue to Positano, the “pearl” of the Amalfi Coast, where you will again have 1 to 2 hours to wander the lanes, shop, or simply soak up the views from the beach. The return journey to Sorrento is capped with a traditional limoncello tasting on board, before disembarking at Piano di Sorrento and transferring back to your hotel or meeting point.
