Boat Tour from Sorrento

Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento

Discover two legendary coastlines by sea, with stops in Amalfi and Positano

The Amalfi Coast boat tour from Sorrento takes you along one of the most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean coastline, combining sea, history, and authentic southern Italian culture in a single full-day journey. Departing from the port of Piano di Sorrento, you cruise past dramatic limestone cliffs, pastel villages, and crystal-clear coves before reaching two of the coast's most storied destinations.

From the very first nautical miles, the Sorrento Coast reveals its quieter character: the traditional fishing settlement of Marina Grande, the atmospheric ruins of the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall that drops straight from the rock face into the sea. These sights, easily missed from the road, can only be appreciated from the water.

The tour is designed to balance guided discovery with personal freedom. Shore time in both Amalfi and Positano allows guests to explore at their own rhythm, whether visiting a cathedral, browsing artisan workshops, or simply sitting at a seafront table. Swimming stops at secluded coves along the way add a further dimension to the day.

On board, snacks, a light lunch, and beverages are included throughout the cruise, and a limoncello tasting marks the return journey to Sorrento, a fitting farewell to the Campanian coastline.

Tour Highlights

Cruise the full length of the Sorrento and Amalfi coasts aboard a comfortable motorboat, taking in scenery inaccessible by road.

Visit Amalfi, a former Maritime Republic, and explore its Norman-Arab cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew.

Spend free time in Positano, wandering its stepped alleys and visiting the pebble beach below the village.

See a natural cliff waterfall and the Roman-era ruins of the Bagni della Regina Giovanna from the sea.

Enjoy snacks, a light lunch, drinks, and a closing limoncello tasting, all served on board during the cruise.

Swim and snorkel in secluded Tyrrhenian Sea coves during dedicated stops along the Amalfi Coast.
