Sunset Boat Tour in Sorrento: The Complete Guide
The most romantic two hours on the coast — golden light, still water and a glass in hand, with a Sorrento family.
If you do one thing on the water in Sorrento, make it the sunset. Here's what a private sunset boat tour is like, what it costs, and why it's the evening guests remember long after the holiday ends.
We start in Sorrento, at golden hour
We're a Sorrento family and our boat is based here, so there are no transfers — you step aboard at Marina Piccola and you're on the water in minutes. We cast off in the late afternoon, timed precisely so you're out for the best of the light.
What the cruise is like
We cruise gently along the Sorrento coast as the light softens, then your skipper finds a quiet spot to drift while you raise a glass of chilled prosecco. There's no fixed itinerary and nowhere to rush — two unhurried hours that feel entirely your own.
Made for couples — and proposals
The sunset cruise is our most romantic experience, and a favourite for proposals, anniversaries and birthdays. Tell us the occasion and we'll help make it special — the right timing, a quiet spot to drift at the perfect moment, and a discreet skipper. On request, we can also arrange a photographer who quietly captures the moment of the proposal — without your partner knowing — so the surprise stays intact and you keep the memory forever.
