Itinerary

6:00 PM | Departure from Sorrento
Your private sunset boat tour begins at Marina Grande, Sorrento’s historic fishing village, where colorful boats, seaside trattorias, and local life set the tone for the evening. As you depart, look back toward the dramatic volcanic cliffs of Sorrento, crowned by elegant grand hotels glowing in the late afternoon light. The coastline unfolds slowly, allowing you to settle in and enjoy the calm rhythm of the sea.

6:30 PM | Queen Giovanna’s Baths & Swimming
Sailing along the coast, you reach the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, one of the most atmospheric spots near Sorrento. This natural limestone pool, connected to the open sea through a narrow arch, is home to the ruins of an ancient Roman villa. If conditions allow and the water invites you in, enjoy a refreshing swim at twilight, surrounded by history, rock formations, and crystal-clear water.

7:00 PM | The Lights of Sorrento
Continuing toward the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula near Massa Lubrense, the landscape begins to transform. One by one, the lights of Sorrento and the surrounding villages flicker on, creating a magical contrast between the darkening mountains and the shimmering coastline. This quiet cruising moment is often one of guests’ favorites, peaceful, cinematic, and deeply atmospheric.

8:00 PM | The Sunset over Capri
The highlight of the tour arrives as your skipper positions the boat in the heart of the bay. With the Island of Capri perfectly framed ahead, you enjoy your aperitivo while the sun slowly aligns behind the island, setting the sky ablaze with shades of gold, pink, and violet. This iconic view, often called the “Sorrento Signature” moment, is ideal for photos, toasts, and simply soaking in the beauty of southern Italy at sunset.

8:30 PM | Return to Port
As night gently settles over the sea, you glide back toward Marina Grande. You return to Sorrento just in time for your dinner reservation, relaxed and inspired, with the scent of salt air and the memory of a golden horizon lingering long after you step ashore.

Optional Customization: Sunset Cruise & Seaside Dinner Experience

For guests who want to extend the magic of sunset, this tour can be enhanced with a romantic seaside dinner reached directly by boat. Instead of returning to port at the end of the cruise, the evening continues effortlessly along the coast.

8:30 PM | Sail to a Seaside Restaurant
After enjoying the sunset over Capri, your skipper continues cruising along the coastline toward a carefully selected waterfront restaurant. Arriving by boat as night falls is a special experience in itself, setting the tone for an intimate and unforgettable evening.

9:00 PM | Dinner by the Sea
Step ashore and enjoy a relaxed dinner at a romantic seaside restaurant, with the sound of the waves and the glow of coastal lights creating a truly atmospheric setting. Take your time, savor local flavors, and enjoy the unhurried rhythm of the evening.

10:30 PM | Sail Back Under the Stars
Following dinner, return to your private boat for a peaceful nighttime cruise back toward Sorrento. The coastline is softly illuminated, the sea is calm, and the atmosphere is quiet and intimate, a perfect close to the experience.

11:00 PM | Drop-Off & Private Transfer
You’ll be dropped off at the port in Sorrento, where a private driver will be waiting to transfer you comfortably back to your accommodation.

This extended option is ideal for honeymooners, anniversaries, proposals, or anyone looking to transform a beautiful sunset cruise into a truly unforgettable night. The dinner experience and private transfer can be added during booking or arranged in advance with our team. We’ll take care of the logistics, timing, and coordination so you can simply relax and enjoy the magic.
