    Fantastic day hire of Gozzo boat in Sorrento.

    A fantastic and memorable day with Captain Nino. We highly recommend this skipper and this company. We wanted a tour with swimming on the way to a lunch at Nerano. We booked via our hotel Marina Piccola 73 and I dropped into the Sic Sic office the day before our tour to finalize the booking and this was easy and well organised. We had a Gozzo boat and we were lucky to have Captain Nino. The boat as in great condition and all the amenities worked. Nino was great at designing the tour to what we wanted to do. We felt very confident with him as going in small boats is not usually our thing! We were a bit early for our restaurant reservation so the Restaurant tender wasn't available to transfer us. Captain Nino gets on the radio and has a friend at Nerano come out and pick us up. The benefit of an experienced skipper! Thank you Nino and Sic Sic Charters.

    Response from the operator: Dear Richard, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing Nautica Sic Sic for your day on the water. We are especially pleased to hear your kind words about Captain Nino. His experience, professionalism and ability to adapt the day to our guests’ wishes are exactly what we value in our team. We’ll make sure he receives your compliments! It’s great to know that you felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the day, and that even the little unexpected situation in Nerano was quickly taken care of. Thank you again for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back to Sorrento for another memorable day at sea! Warm regards, Capt. Maurizio Gargiulo Nautica Sic Sic

    The best day ever!!

    We had the most awesome day. It was one of our best days in Italy. Antonio and Giuseppe made our day so special. The Boat ride was so much fun. The scenery was stunning. They showed us all kinds of interesting things along the way to the island of Capri. Then we had an amazing lunch at a wonderful restaurant on Capri. We would highly recommend booking them for your next adventure in Sorrento.

    Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted that your day exploring Capri with us was one of the highlights of your time in Italy. Antonio and Giuseppe will be so pleased to hear that they made your experience special. From the stunning scenery and discoveries along the way to your delicious lunch on Capri, it sounds like a day to remember! Thank you for recommending Nautica Sic Sic. We hope to welcome you aboard again for another adventure! Warm regards, Capt. Maurizio Gargiulo & the Nautica Sic Sic Team

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Amalfi Coast Day with Nino and Nautical Sic Sic!

    Our private boat tour with Nautica Sic Sic was the absolute highlight of our trip, and that is entirely thanks to our incredible guide, Nino! If you are booking this tour, you absolutely must request him. He is the gold standard of tour guides.Nino went completely above and beyond to make our day perfect. He was incredibly hands-on from start to finish, tailoring the itinerary so we could see the absolute best sights of the Amalfi Coast. He knew the perfect, secluded spots to take us swimming in crystal-clear waters, away from all the heavy tourist crowds. What really sets Nino apart is his passion and depth of knowledge. He provided us with such fascinating, deep insights into Italy’s history and local culture that we left feeling like experts ourselves. His warmth, energy, and dedication to our experience truly made the day unforgettable.For lunch, Nino brought us to Ristorante Il Cantuccio in Nerano. The food was spectacular, offering an authentic taste of local coastal flavors right by the water. Nino’s local expertise, unparalleled hospitality, and attentive nature made this a five-star experience from beginning to end. Do not hesitate to book with Nautica Sic Sic and ask for Nino!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Nautica Sic Sic for your private Amalfi Coast boat experience. We are truly delighted to know that your day with Nino was the highlight of your trip. Nino will be very happy to read your kind words — his passion, local knowledge and genuine care for our guests are exactly what we aim to offer in every private experience.

    Book here - Avoid the Middlemen - Amazing Experience

    We visited Sorrento for the first time this year, and my wife really wanted a boat for the day. Every online boat option was confusing or not exactly what we were looking for. Upon arrival in Sorrento, we wandered down to the Marina and saw an actual storefront for this Company and they took the time to give us customized options and recommendations for what we were looking for. This is a fmaily ompany that owns their own boats and is not a middleman. The owner works in the office and is helpful friendly and honest. We booked our private boat and captain at a very far price for the following morning. Everything went as promised. Our captain Nino did a great job and was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us to lunch at the most amazing restaurant away from the tourist hustle and bustle. We explored quiet coves, swam, and had a wonderful time. I would hightly recommend going this route instead of generic online boat options. We are very glad our family of five was able to spend the day away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and felt we had a very special experience that we will always remember. It was worth every penny.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review. We are truly happy to know that your family’s first visit to Sorrento became such a special memory with us. It means a lot that you appreciated our direct, personal approach, our family-run company, and the fact that we own and carefully manage our boats ourselves. We are also delighted to hear that Captain Nino made your day enjoyable, relaxed, and memorable, from the quiet coves and swimming stops to the special lunch away from the crowds. Thank you again for choosing Nautica Sic Sic and for recommending us over generic online options. We hope to welcome you and your family back on board whenever you return to Sorrento. Capt. Maurizio Gargiulo

    Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.

    How much does Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,373 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.

    Is Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sorrento?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sorrento?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sorrento?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Boat Experience from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Area?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; Snacks; and carburante utilizzato per il viaggio. Not included: Tasse portuali Capri; Tasse portuali Positano; and visita grotta azzurra. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
