Naples and its Islands

DAY 1

Naples - Procida

DISTANCE: 11nm DURATION: 1h 25m

The Island of Procida is close in proximity to the two more popular destinations for luxury yacht - Capri and Ischia. The diminutive award to Procida does not really reflect the splendor and allure of this incredibly beautiful Italian destination. The word "Procida" comes from a Neapolitan term that literally means "soft beaches."

DAY 2

Procida - Ischia

DISTANCE: 5nm DURATION: 40m

Ischia is an international tourist destination situated peacefully in the Gulf of Naples, with crystal-clear seas, untouched landscapes, cultural sites and many other surprises. Its robust shoreline is distinguished by a series of headlands, streets and beaches where sea water flows a few feet from shoreline with hot water from thermomineral springs. Indeed, the volcanic island hides a high concentration of hot springs and a wide variety of waters in its underground, which make Ischia 'the capital of the Europe's thermal spa.More than 300 spa areas allow the rest of the mind and the body to regenerate. In Ischia, also called "The Green Island" it is a springtime eruption of colors and fragrances because of its numerous pine trees and lush Mediterranean vegetation. The wineries, planted on terraced grounds, give a special touch to the island's overall landscape

DAY 3

Ischia - Ventotene

DISTANCE: 23nm DURATION: 3h

Sitting pretty off the coast of Italy (between Rome and Naples), Ventotene is the smallest inhabited island of the Pontine Archipelago. Famed for being estimated to be the island of the Sirens in Homer’s Odyssey. The island is rich in history and was once a favoured place of play for holidaying romans. It was even the place of exile for Emperors and members of these dynasties. Even to this day, you can visit the extravagant former haunts of exiled royalty. Make no mistake, the island is tiny and can easily be crossed in an hour or so on foot. Yet charter guests will find plenty to take their fancy, including many stashed away coves, ancient roman remains, colourful homes, and beautiful beaches.

DAY 4

Ventotene - Ponza

DISTANCE: 22nm DURATION: 2h 50m

The island of Ponza is situated between Rome and Naples off the coast of the Lazio Region. As you enter the charismatic port on your charter, you are greeted by its lush green landscape. This island and its surrounding coastline are best explored by boat, as it is a rustic destination and all the modern comforts will be on your yacht, but it is certainly a place steeped in tradition and charm.

DAY 5

Ponza - Palmarola

DISTANCE: 8nm DURATION: 1h

Boasting one of Italy’s best stretches of water for snorkeling and swimming, Palmarola is a tiny island that can be found on the north side of Ponza. With no residents on the island, the only way to access it is via boat. Drop anchor beneath the rocky crops and swim in crystalline waters that don’t even boast a single ripple. With exceptional visibility, it's the perfect spot for donning your mask and flippers and swimming with silvery fish and other sea life. The pale pebbled beach makes a change from sand and as the island is uninhabited, you can expect plenty of peace and serenity. One of the most charming things about exploring Palmarola is the boats laden with ice-cream and other goodies to keep you refreshed in the high heat of the day.

DAY 8

Procida - Castellammare Di Stabia

DISTANCE: 32nm DURATION: 4h 40m

The ancient Roman holiday spot of Castellammare di Stabia is a vision of black sand beaches, ancient ruins, rolling jeweled hills, and sunburnt piazzas. Nestled in the Bay of Naples, it still holds handfuls of that golden era grace and was said to be a beloved spot for the likes of Julius Caesar, Tiberius, and Augustus prior to the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Home to scores of mineral springs, incredible excavated ruins, and a pretty promenade lined with gelaterias and eateries that all live up to the hyperbole of Italy having some of the best cuisine in the world.

Culture, history, beaches, bliss, and an unrivaled sense of ancient glitz keeps Castellammare di Stabia as a magical mooring spot.
