From Marina Piccola you can head south to Capri, east along the Amalfi Coast or explore the hidden Sorrento Peninsula bays that most visitors never see.

The most popular excursion is the Capri day trip — a 35-minute crossing followed by a full island circumnavigation, Blue Grotto visit and free time in Capri town. For those who want to explore the Amalfi Coast, we offer full-day cruises to Positano and Amalfi with swimming stops and a seafood lunch in Nerano.
Shorter half-day excursions focus on the Sorrento Peninsula itself — the Bagni della Regina Giovanna (a natural swimming pool in Roman ruins), the Marina di Puolo bay and the secret grottoes beneath the cliff-top hotels. These local gems are surprisingly uncrowded and offer excellent swimming and snorkelling.
For a unique experience, try a fishing excursion with a local fisherman. You will learn traditional line-fishing techniques, haul in your catch and cook it on board or at a partner restaurant. It is an authentic connection to Sorrento's maritime heritage that no museum can replicate.
All Sorrento excursions include a professional skipper, safety equipment, snorkelling gear and drinks. Private boats are available for custom itineraries. Stay in a Sorrento apartment for easy morning departures and book a Naples transfer for a stress-free arrival.
Pack sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, polarised sunglasses and a light layer for the afternoon breeze. If you plan to visit Capri, bring comfortable walking shoes. For open-water crossings, take seasickness tablets 30 minutes before departure. The best months for Sorrento excursions are May to October, with June and September providing calm seas and pleasant temperatures.
Group excursions (6–12 guests) keep costs down, starting from €65 per person for a half-day. Private charters offer exclusive use of the boat for your party — set the pace, choose swimming spots and stop for lunch wherever you wish. Families and friend groups of four or more often find private charters to be surprisingly affordable when the cost is shared.
All BlueKeys boats departing from Sorrento are licensed, annually inspected and equipped with life jackets, fire extinguishers and first-aid kits. Our skippers follow eco-responsible practices — reduced speed in marine parks, no anchoring on Posidonia beds and only biodegradable products on board. We believe the best way to enjoy this coast is to help protect it.
