Private Island Day Charter from Sorrento to Ischia and Procida
This exclusive day charter from Sorrento is designed for guests who want to discover a different side of the Gulf of Naples - one defined not only by famous coastal beauty, but also by authentic island culture, distinctive volcanic landscapes, and a slower, more atmospheric rhythm of travel. Ideal for private groups of up to 12 guests, the experience combines luxurious cruising, flexible exploration time, swimming opportunities, and the pleasure of moving between islands aboard an elegant Italian motor yacht. It is a full-day private charter with the comfort and privacy that allow the journey to feel personal from start to finish, whether you are traveling with family, friends, or a small celebratory group. With a professional skipper onboard and a route that can be adjusted around your preferences, the day offers a rewarding blend of discovery, relaxation, and Mediterranean style.
About Our Service in Sorrento, Ischia and Procida
Your day begins at 9:15 AM from the port of Sorrento, where you are welcomed aboard and introduced to the route before departure. As the yacht leaves the marina, the scenery of the Sorrento Coast gradually opens out into the wider Gulf of Naples, creating a striking sense of space and anticipation. From this point, the charter begins to reveal one of its main strengths - the ability to enjoy the journey itself as an essential part of the experience. The open-water crossing, the coastal perspectives, and the comfort of the yacht all contribute to a day that feels immersive rather than hurried.
Day 1 The first destination is Ischia, reached at around 10:30 to 11:00 AM. Known as the “Green Island,” Ischia is celebrated for its lush appearance, volcanic identity, and long-standing reputation for natural beauty and thermal heritage. Guests have approximately 2 hours here to discover some of its most appealing highlights. Among them is the majestic Aragonese Castle, dramatically positioned on a rocky islet and one of the most remarkable historic sights in the Gulf of Naples. The stop also includes the area of Lacco Ameno, known for its iconic mushroom-shaped rock formation and its distinctive island character. This portion of the day can include sightseeing, short walks, moments of relaxation, and swimming, depending on your preferred pace.
What makes Ischia especially attractive on a private yacht charter is the contrast it offers - natural landscapes, cultural interest, and the feeling of an island with a more expansive and residential personality than many other destinations in the region. Time here can be used to admire the setting from the water, step ashore to explore, or simply enjoy the privilege of arriving in a quieter and more personal way than standard excursion routes generally allow.
In the early afternoon, the cruise continues toward Procida, arriving at around 1:30 PM. Although smaller in scale, Procida offers a remarkably rich sense of identity and is often appreciated for its authenticity and unhurried appeal. Guests will have approximately 2 to 2.5 hours to explore this colorful island, with a particular focus on Corricella, the postcard-like fishing village where pastel-toned houses descend toward the waterfront in one of the most recognizable scenes in the Gulf of Naples. This is an ideal setting for a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant, a walk through quiet lanes, or simply sitting near the water and absorbing the atmosphere of a place that feels deeply traditional and refreshingly uncommercial.
Throughout the day, the charter also allows time for swimming in clear Mediterranean waters, sunbathing on deck, and enjoying the scenery from the comfort of the yacht. Because the itinerary remains flexible, your skipper can adapt stop durations or include additional swimming moments if your group prefers a more relaxed sea-focused day. This makes the experience especially appealing to travelers who want a combination of island discovery and leisurely onboard enjoyment, rather than a schedule that feels overly fixed.
At around 5:00 PM, the return cruise begins toward Sorrento. As the yacht heads back across the gulf, the mood becomes calm and reflective, with the coastline and islands slowly receding into the afternoon light. By early evening, you return to port having experienced an 8-hour private charter that combines the elegance of a premium yacht day with the charm of two of the Gulf of Naples’ most distinctive islands.
About Our Yacht - Giannetti 45 Sport
Your charter takes place aboard a Giannetti 45 Sport, an elegant 13.60-meter Italian motor yacht designed to deliver both refined comfort and confident performance. With a beam of 3.95 meters, the yacht provides a generous sense of space that is particularly valuable on full-day island itineraries, where guests may wish to alternate between scenic cruising, sunbathing, dining, and simply relaxing in privacy. The vessel’s proportions and layout make it well suited to groups of up to 12 guests, supporting a premium onboard experience without feeling crowded.
The outdoor deck spaces are especially appealing for a route such as this one, where open-water cruising and island views form such an important part of the day. Guests can settle into the sun, socialize comfortably, or enjoy panoramic views across the Gulf of Naples. Inside, the yacht continues the elegant atmosphere with a refined dinette area and large windows that bring in natural light and maintain a visual connection to the sea. The result is an onboard environment that feels stylish yet welcoming, suited to both celebratory occasions and relaxed private escapes.
The yacht also features two main cabins plus an optional crew cabin, along with two bathrooms fitted with shower, sink, and electric toilet. These practical details add comfort and convenience to the overall charter experience, particularly when the day includes multiple destinations and time both ashore and onboard. A fully equipped galley supports refreshments and casual onboard dining, while twin 450 HP inboard diesel engines provide the performance needed for efficient movement between Sorrento, Ischia, and Procida. Together, these elements make the yacht a compelling match for a full-day island discovery itinerary.
An Authentic Gulf of Naples Island Escape
This charter stands out because it moves beyond the most obvious routes and opens the door to a more layered and authentic island experience. By pairing Ischia’s dramatic landmarks and lush identity with Procida’s intimate charm and colorful waterfront character, the day offers variety without sacrificing relaxation. Combined with the privacy of a luxury yacht, the guidance of a local skipper, and the freedom to customize the pace, it becomes an ideal choice for guests who want to experience the Gulf of Naples in a way that feels elegant, personal, and genuinely memorable.
