Boat Excursion from Sorrento

Half-day peninsula excursions depart from Marina Piccola and head to the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, a natural swimming pool set within the ruins of a first-century Roman villa at Punta del Capo — one of the most magical spots on the coast. From there the boat continues to Marina di Puolo bay and the secret grottoes carved beneath the cliff-top hotels of Sorrento. These local gems are surprisingly uncrowded and offer outstanding snorkelling over rocky seabeds teeming with Mediterranean fish. For a truly unique experience, try a fishing excursion with a local fisherman: learn traditional line-fishing techniques, haul in your catch and cook it on board or at a partner restaurant — an authentic connection to Sorrento's maritime heritage. Browse all our tours.

Every BlueKeys excursion from Sorrento includes a professional local skipper, full safety equipment, complimentary snorkelling gear with masks and fins, towels, a Bluetooth speaker and a cooler stocked with chilled water, soft drinks and seasonal fruit. On private charters you can customise every detail — departure time, route, music and menu, including an onboard aperitivo or a restaurant reservation along the coast. Group excursions carry 6 to 12 guests and start from €65 per person for a half-day, keeping costs low without sacrificing quality. Families and groups of four or more often find that splitting a private charter is surprisingly affordable compared to individual group tickets.

The best months for boat excursions from Sorrento are May through October. June and September deliver the perfect combination of warm water, calm seas and manageable crowds. 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 the island. For open-water crossings, take seasickness tablets 30 minutes before departure. Stay in a Sorrento apartment for easy morning departures and book a Naples transfer for a stress-free arrival.

All BlueKeys boats departing from Sorrento are licensed, annually inspected and equipped with life jackets for all sizes, fire extinguishers and first-aid kits. Our skippers follow eco-responsible practices — reduced speed in marine parks, no anchoring on Posidonia seagrass beds and only biodegradable products on board. We believe the best way to enjoy this coast is to help protect it for future visitors.
