Itineraries
Day 1
Naples
Benvenuto! Welcome to Italy. Your trip begins at 12:30 pm at Molo Beverello – a ferry port on the coast of Naples. Your skipper will be waiting here for you with your tickets to catch the ferry to Procida Island, where your sailing adventure officially starts. Board the yacht in Procida and join a welcome meeting led by your skipper, then head to the local supermarket to buy supplies. Sail the short distance to Ischia –in contrast to Procida, this is the largest island in the Bay of Naples. Disembark and shake off the sea legs by exploring the famous Castello Aragonese, built in the 1400s. This impressive fortress sits suspended above the sea on a volcanic rock connected to Ischia. Tonight, ask your skipper for the best dinner spots and maybe head out with your group before spending your first night at sea.
It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your booking agent know.
Your sailing time today will be approximately 3 to 4 hours. Your skipper will collect the trip kitty of EUR 90 at the meeting today. If you have any special dietary requirements, just notify your booking agent.
The beauty of sailing is that each day is unique, and while you have a destination to reach, if the weather changes or something takes the group’s fancy, the skipper is flexible on the day's itinerary.
Day 2
Ischia - Sorrento
Spend the first part of your day in Ischia. This volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples is known for its mineral-rich thermal waters and hot springs. Maybe you’d like to visit Spiaggia dei Pescatori – an idyllic beach between Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte. This afternoon, you’ll set sail for Sorrento. This coastal town offers panoramic views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Tonight, you’ll have the opportunity to try one of Sorrento's well-known exports – Limoncello. This liqueur is produced from locally grown Femminello Santa Teresa lemons, yum!
Your sailing time today will be approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Day 3
Sorrento - Pompeii - Sorrento
This morning, catch a train to the abandoned city of Pompeii – a Roman settlement that was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted. When you arrive, you have the option to visit the Pompeii ruins or Mount Vesuvius National Park – or both! If you choose to visit the ruins, get a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Romans as you wander through the well-preserved buildings, artwork and pottery. After, maybe find a local cafe for lunch. Then, maybe join a guided tour to Mt Vesuvius – this active stratovolcano erupted in 79 AD that buried Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae. Later, head back to Sorrento where the rest of the evening is free for you to explore at your own pace.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and pack water, a hat, sunscreen and snacks today.
The cost of your entry ticket to Mt Vesuvius will include the services of a volcanology guide and if you're lucky enough to visit on a clear day, you'll have incredible views over the Bay of Naples and into the crater. Although Mt Vesuvius is still considered to be an active volcano, the last eruption was in 1944 and there's no sign of lava.
Day 4
Sorrento - Amalfi
Your sailing time today will be approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Day 5
Amalfi - Capri
Your sailing time today will be approximately 3 to 4 hours. Access to the grotto will be closed if sea conditions are considered too rough.
In July and August, the mooring in Capri can be very busy, so after your visit to Capri, we may need to sail onto Procida in the afternoon where you will stay overnight.
A moderate fitness level and comfortable shoes are required if you decide to climb the Phoenician Steps.
Day 6
Procida
Your sailing time today will be approximately 2.5 hours.
