Itinerary

Day 1 • Procida - Ischia

Benvenuti! Welcome to Italy. Your journey begins on the enchanting island of Procida, a colorful gem off the coast of Naples. If you arrive early, take some time to explore: visit the walled medieval village of Terra Murata or stroll along the picturesque port of Corricella.
In the afternoon, meet your group at 3 PM for a welcome briefing. Together, you'll shop for supplies before setting sail for nearby Ischia – the largest island in the Bay of Naples. Upon arrival, stretch your legs with a visit to the impressive Castello Aragonese, a 15th-century fortress perched dramatically on a volcanic rock.
This evening, ask your skipper for local dining recommendations and perhaps enjoy your first group dinner before settling into your first night aboard.

Day 2 • Ischia - Sorrento

Spend a leisurely morning discovering Ischia's volcanic landscapes and renowned thermal springs. You might like to unwind at Spiaggia dei Pescatori, a scenic beach nestled between Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte.
Later, set sail for Sorrento, famed for its panoramic vistas of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Upon arrival, soak up the vibrant atmosphere and indulge in a tasting of Limoncello, the town’s famous lemon liqueur made from locally grown Femminello Santa Teresa lemons.

Day 3 • Sorrento - Pompeii (Optional Excursion)

After breakfast, you may choose to explore the extraordinary ruins of Pompeii – the Roman city preserved by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
A private guide can be arranged for an in-depth exploration (additional cost to be shared among the group). Alternatively, opt for an excursion to Mount Vesuvius National Park to trek the slopes of this legendary volcano. Please be prepared with sturdy footwear, warm clothing, and sun protection.

Day 4 • Sorrento - Amalfi

This morning, sail toward the celebrated Amalfi Coast, passing the picturesque Sirenuses (Gallos) archipelago. Upon arrival in Amalfi, the afternoon is yours to explore.

In the evening, join an optional group dinner to sample fresh seafood, homemade pasta, and locally made gelato.

Day 5 • Amalfi - Capri

Today, sail to the fabled Isle of Capri, once a favored retreat of Roman emperors.
Upon arrival, consider an optional boat excursion around the island, showcasing its dramatic cliffs and famous grottos – including the ethereal Blue Grotto. To enter the Blue Grotto, you'll switch to a small rowboat (note: swimming inside is not permitted, but nearby platforms offer swimming opportunities).
Later, you may choose to visit Capri Town or the charming hillside village of Anacapri. A highlight is the Villa San Michele, built on the remains of a Roman villa.
For those seeking a challenge, descend or ascend via the historic Phoenician Steps (Scala Fenicia). Good fitness and sturdy footwear are recommended.
