The experience

Marina Grande, the ancient fishing village where the tour departs, sits at the heart of Sorrento's working waterfront. A traditional Sorrentine gozzo (a wooden fishing boat built for these waters) waits at the pier for your group of up to seven. The captain greets you aboard and sets course along the coastline, passing the Baths of Queen Giovanna, a Roman villa where the emperor's wife watched the sea from her summer residence. The boat moves at a pace that lets you photograph the ruins and the cliffs without rushing.

At Cala di Puolo, a small fishing village tucked into the coast, the boat stops for 30 minutes. You can dive into the clear water, float on the surface, or stay aboard with a glass of prosecco and the sound of gentle waves. Snorkeling gear sits ready if you want to look below the surface. The protected marine park of Ieranto Bay and the rocky point of Punta Campanella frame the route as the light softens.

As the sun moves lower, the boat settles into its rhythm. Prosecco, limoncello and snacks appear on deck: the aperitivo experience the tour centers on. Background music plays softly. The sky shifts through warm hues while you watch Capri rise on the horizon. Safety equipment is on board for everyone, and the skipper speaks English throughout, so the names and stories of the coast reach you clearly.
