Sorrento Coast Boat Tour
Sorrento Coast Highlights: 2-Hour Small Group Boat Tour
Discover hidden inlets, ancient ruins, and crystalline waters along one of Italy's most storied shorelines.
This Sorrento Coast boat tour offers an intimate two-hour journey along tufaceous cliffs, secret coves, and sea-carved arches that reveal the layered history and natural beauty of the Sorrentine Peninsula.
Departing from Marina Piccola in Sorrento, the tour moves between landmarks shaped by millennia of human presence and geological forces. From the remains of a Roman villa to the black-sand shores of a fishermen's bay, each stop along this coastline carries a distinct story worth knowing.
A swimming stop in the Sirens' Fjord gives passengers a direct encounter with the clear, calm waters that define this stretch of the Mediterranean. On favourable days, the scent of citrus groves drifts down from the terraced hillsides above the sea.
Tour Highlights
Explore the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, site of the ancient Roman Villa Pollio Felice, perched on the cape of Sorrento.
Swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Sirens' Fjord, a sheltered natural inlet along the Sorrentine coastline.
Pass through Capo Corbo and observe its small natural waterfall cascading directly into the sea.
Take in panoramic views of Massa Lubrense and the Gulf of Naples from the water, with Vesuvius on the horizon.
Enjoy complimentary fresh drinks on board throughout the tour.
Discover Puolo Bay, a pebble-and-black-sand beach bordered by traditional fishermen's houses.
Travel in a small group setting with an English-speaking skipper providing context at every stop.

Bagni della Regina Giovanna
