About Cooperativa Sant'Antonio
Cooperativa Sant'Antonio is a long-established boat rental and excursion cooperative based in Nerano, at the southern tip of the Sorrento Peninsula overlooking the Amalfi Coast. With a ticket office and info point on Piazza Sirene in Marina del Cantone, the cooperative has been serving visitors and locals for decades, providing reliable access to some of the most beautiful stretches of the Campanian coastline.
Their fleet ranges from small self-drive motorboats for independent exploration — no licence required for boats under 40hp — to larger skippered vessels for guided day trips to Capri, the Li Galli archipelago, Positano, and Amalfi. They also operate water taxi transfers between coastal towns, which is often faster and more scenic than the winding road. Equipment is modern, well-maintained, and regularly inspected, and the team provides thorough safety briefings before every departure.
The cooperative model means competitive pricing without sacrificing quality — there are no middlemen or booking platform markups. The Nerano base is a major draw for those who want to start their day from a quieter, more authentic fishing village rather than the busier tourist harbours. Marina del Cantone itself is regarded as one of the best swimming beaches on the coast, making it a natural starting point for a day on the water.
