Sailing Sorrento Coast
Relaxing a day on a boat, listening to the melody of the wind, admiring the wonders of the gulf and the Sorrento coast from the sea is fabulous;
swim inside the caves in a bay accessible only from the sea ...
savor fresh products and seasonal fruit lulled by the waves ...
is gorgeous.
An experience different from the others, which is NOT limited to a short navigation while spending the day anchored, but really experiences the sea, where guests are the protagonists of sailing.
Away from mass tourist stereotypes.
And even in autumn, with the mild climate of these latitudes, you can spend a pleasant day relaxing on a sailboat.
All in full respect of nature, with an almost zero environmental impact, almost completely exploiting the energy of the wind.

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city which was buried under ash and pumice following the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 79 A.D.

This is the reason why this experience still delights so many people from all over the world. The best way to understand Pompeii is to walk the site. I will lead you through the daily life of this Roman city, allowing to imagine life as it used to be then, thus bringing the dead city alive again, with its magnificent houses, theatres, temples, ampetheatre, thermal baths, shops, food markets and so much more.

Discovering Pompeii Alive
Everyone knows the history of Pompeii. Rivers of ink have been spilled over my city. Novels, essays, poems, and articles have been written; naturalistic films and documentaries were shot. We now know all about ancient Pompeii.
That's why I want to offer you an itinerary that will allow you to know what few know about Pompeii.
Few people know that ancient Pompeii was one of the most populous and richest Italian cities of the Roman Empire
Few people know that the main economic activity was the cultivation and export of wine and olive oil in all Mediterranean countries
Few people know that thanks to a river channel that lapped the city walls, boats from all the Mediterranean countries, from Greece to Spain, from Egypt to Turkey, could go directly to Porta Marina, the main city gate, which as suggested the name looked directly at the sea.
We will visit Porta Marina, the Temple of Apollo, Roman Forum, casts, Decumanus, Houses, Shops, Spas, Theater.

Adults: 16 euros per person

Sorrento coast sailing & food
Al mattino ci incontreremo al porto davanti alla mia barca, il benvenuto sarà tipicamente napoletano con dolcetto e caffè tradizionali della nostra terra. Appena finito leveremo gli ormeggi per uscire dal porto, issero' le vele e ci troveremo nel magico mondo antico dove le barche si muovevano senza assordanti rumori di motore, solo sciabordio dello scafo e sibilo del vento. Veleggeremo così verso la nostra destinazione, la costiera Sorrentina. Lungo il tragitto vi mostrerò le bellezze del Golfo, primo fra tutti il Vesuvio visto dal mare, dallo stesso punto di vista utilizzato da Plinio il vecchio per descrivere la violenta eruzione del 79 d.c., e le sue perle, Capri, Ischia e Procida, e l'antica Partenope(Napoli).
Quando saremo giunti in costiera affonderemo l'ancora e gli ospiti potranno godere il meraviglioso mare della costiera facendo il bagno in luoghi raggiungibili solo in barca a vela. Nel frattempo, preparerò di persona un sostanzioso aperitivo con prodotti locali e subito dopo il pranzo, sempre con pietanze tipicamente Napoletane.
Dopo il pranzo ed un ulteriore bagno nelle acque blu della costiera, cominceremo a fare un progressivo rientro al porto sempre spinti dal favore della brezza Marina. Nel percorso di rientro sarà mia cura cercare di costeggiare, per quanto possibile, la linea della costiera Sorrentina per mostrarne bene le bellezze agli ospiti.
Pompeii Ruins and Vesuvian Wineries
Enjoy history, wine, and nature in this all-in-one experience!
You will start from the ancient ruins of Pompeii, where an archeological guide will take you on an exploration (little more than 2 hours) of this ancient city while painting a picture of what life was like during one of the most important empires of all time: The Roman Empire. The site of Pompeii is a true gem frozen in the year 79, which allows us to jump back in time and touch a piece of history as it was nearly 2,000 years ago.
After the guided tour, it will be time for the Italian in you to come alive and embark on your tour of Vesuvian wineries with a driver who will take care of you for the rest of the day. The wineries we'll be visiting are all in the National Park of Mount Vesuvius, known for its fertile volcanic soil and giving us the grapes only produced here. The result is the famous Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ), a wine most equivalent to that of which the ancient Romans enjoyed.
NOTE: The ticket to the ruins it's not included in the price!
Please let us know for any food allergies, thank you!
