About Our Service in the Gulf of Naples
Boarding takes place at 10:00 AM at Amalfi’s main port, where guests are welcomed aboard and introduced to the day’s route. With a maximum of 12 guests per excursion, the atmosphere remains comfortably exclusive, allowing everyone to enjoy the yacht’s generous spaces and the crew’s attentive service. As the yacht departs, the coastal scenery of Amalfi gives way to broader views across the Gulf of Naples, and the rhythm of the day becomes one of pure sea travel in style. Guests can relax on deck, sunbathe, enjoy drinks and snacks, and listen as the skipper shares details about the islands ahead, their history, and the geography of this fascinating cruising area.
The first destination is Ischia, often known as the Green Island because of its rich vegetation, volcanic character, and celebrated thermal waters. The crossing to Ischia takes around two hours, allowing ample time to enjoy the yacht itself and the sense of open-water freedom that distinguishes this charter from shorter local routes. Approaching the island by sea reveals a dramatically varied shoreline, and one of the great visual highlights is the Aragonese Castle, rising on its rocky islet and connected to the main island by a stone causeway. Seen from the yacht, it presents a striking blend of medieval architecture, maritime history, and volcanic landscape.
Late morning and early afternoon in Ischia are devoted to sightseeing, swimming, and optional exploration. Guests may choose to admire the Aragonese Castle and surrounding coast from the yacht, take photographs, enjoy a brief shoreline walk, or make use of designated swimming areas near the island. Ischia is also internationally known for its thermal heritage, and those who wish to include a wellness element in the day may consider visiting thermal areas at additional cost, depending on timing and preferences. The overall appeal of this stop lies in its diversity - part history, part nature, part seaside relaxation - all within the setting of one of the most distinctive islands in southern Italy.
From Ischia, the yacht continues toward Procida, and this leg of the route offers another scenic transition across the Gulf. Guests can return to the deck lounges, enjoy refreshments, and take in the evolving coastal views while the crew maintains the easy, attentive rhythm of the charter. By early afternoon, Procida comes into view, and the mood shifts again. Smaller, more intimate, and more visibly lived-in than many famous coastal destinations, Procida has a deeply authentic Mediterranean character. Its colorful houses, narrow streets, fishing heritage, and harbor atmosphere make it one of the most charming places to visit by yacht.
Once near Procida, guests can enjoy time for island exploration, photography, optional swimming, and moments ashore in its picturesque villages. The experience here feels more local and atmospheric, ideal for those who appreciate places with texture and personality rather than polished glamour alone. Nearby Vivara adds an extra natural dimension to the route. This small islet, connected by bridge, is known as a protected nature reserve and offers an appealing contrast to the built character of Procida itself. Together, the two form a memorable afternoon stop where guests can enjoy scenery, quiet observation, and a slower island pace. For those who wish, local cuisine can also be enjoyed at seaside cafés at extra cost.
By around 4:30 PM, the yacht begins the return to Amalfi. This final leg provides time to absorb the day’s variety - the open crossing, the fortress silhouette of Ischia, the thermal and coastal atmosphere, the color and intimacy of Procida, and the overall pleasure of seeing the Gulf of Naples from a private yacht. Snacks and drinks continue to be available onboard as guests relax in the late afternoon light, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in the final panoramic views. Return to Amalfi is scheduled for approximately 6:00 PM, concluding a day that feels at once expansive, elegant, and distinctly different from the more usual coastal circuits.
