Itinerary
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.
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!
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.
Day 4
Sorrento - Amalfi
This morning you’ll set sail for the Amalfi Coast, passing the Sirenusas (Gallos) archipelago to the east of the Sorrentine Peninsula. The afternoon is free to explore Amalfi at your own pace. Maybe discover the medieval architecture of Sant'Andrea Cathedral and Cappuccini Convent or walk along the narrow trails through olive groves, vineyards and ancient villages. While the trails are steep and full of stairs, there are marvellous views over the ocean at regular intervals. Why not join an optional dinner with your group this evening and feast on local seafood and gelato?
Day 5
Amalfi - Capri
Today, set sail to the Isle of Capri – once home to the grand holiday palaces of the Roman emperors. When you arrive, there’s an optional excursion in a small motorboat. If you take the boat, you’ll see the island, its impressive cliffs and many grottos – including the green, white and the famous Blue Grotto. To enter the Blue Grotto, you'll need to switch to a smaller rowboat, and although swimming in the grotto isn’t permitted, there’s a small platform close by where you can take a dip. After, there will be time to catch the bus to the Town of Capri or visit the hillside town of Anacapri. If you head there, it's worth visiting the Villa San Michele – the former home to a Swedish doctor, built on the ruins of a Roman villa. After, make your way to the town by the Phoenician Steps (Scala Fenicia) – a long, steep stairway linking the towns of Capri and Anacapri.
Day 6
Procida
After breakfast, you’ll sail back to Procida. Stop for a swim along the way, arriving by the afternoon. Enjoy a free afternoon exploring the beautiful town on foot – maybe people watch at a local cafe or visit the Palazzo d’Avalos – the island’s former prison. Tonight, sail to the main marina. On the way, you’ll stop at Marina Della Carricella to see one of the most photographed parts of the island. Then, maybe set out on an optional group dinner in the town of rabbit stew or seafood, accompanied by a couple of glasses of local wine and some Limoncello. What better way to cap off a great sailing trip?
Day 7
Procida
There are no activities planned for today, so you’re free to leave any time after breakfast. If you wish to spend more time here, just speak to your booking agent.
