Pilot a Selva 20ft From Sorrento: A Daylong, Self‑Drive Passage to Capri and the Amalfi Rim.
From Sorrento’s harbor you can take the wheel of a nimble 20‑foot Selva motorboat and spend a full day tracing the sunlit sweep of the Sorrento Coast, cutting out to Capri, or following the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast — all without a boating license. The rental gives you the freedom to find tucked‑away bays and beaches, run your own itinerary, and return the craft by late afternoon.

Freedom to Explore Hidden Bays
With an eight‑hour rental window you can seek quiet beaches and secluded inlets accessible only by sea, building an itinerary of swimming, sunning, and cliff‑flanked viewpoints on your own timetable.

What the day feels like
You arrive at the marina, receive a concise briefing and a map, then untie and set your own course. The day unfolds as a sequence of short cruises between bays and viewpoints: idling in a turquoise cove for a swim, threading past limestone headlands, and angling in toward a beach for a picnic — all aboard a manageable 20ft Selva you pilot yourself.
