Next
Day 1: Naples → Procida
Naples greets you with faded grandeur, strong coffee, and louder-than-life charm. Step aboard in the late afternoon and set sail across the bay toward Procida - a pocket-sized island painted in pastels. The first evening is slow and simple: aperitivo on deck, then a shared feast of Campanian flavours under strings of light as you get to know your crew.
Day 2: Procida → Ischia
After a lazy breakfast, a short sail carries you to Ischia’s golden shores. Spend the afternoon at Eden Gardens - thermal pools spilling into the sea, loungers tucked into volcanic rock. Swim, sip, and unwind before returning onboard for a sunset seafood dinner paired with crisp Biancolella wine.
Day 3: Ischia (no sail)
Wake slowly with coffee on deck before exploring Casa D’Ambra - vines clinging to volcanic slopes, mineral-rich whites poured among the terraces. Afternoon brings Negombo’s thermal springs, the perfect reset. As dusk falls, a light al fresco supper unfolds, laughter mingling with sea air and island calm.
Day 4: Ischia → Ventotene
Set sail west for Ventotene, pausing mid-sea for a swim in endless blue. This speck of volcanic rock hums with Roman history and quiet charm. Wander cobbled lanes and sip local wine in the piazza before a rustic dinner onboard - slow-cooked, soulful, and steeped in tradition.
Day 5: Ventotene → Ponza
A short morning sail leads to Ponza, where limestone cliffs rise from turquoise water. Anchor in Cala Feola, dive into the shallows, then linger over a deck lunch of olives, grilled vegetables, and island cheese. Evening brings a vibrant pasta feast under the stars, the harbour alive with music.
Day 6: Ponza (no sail)
A day to live like a local. Stroll Ponza’s pastel streets, browse harbour markets, and collect produce for lunch - tomatoes warm from the sun, fresh herbs, crusty bread. Back onboard, share a long, lazy meal. Dinner ashore at a buzzing trattoria closes the day in island style.
Day 7: Ponza → Palmarola → Ischia
Sail early to Palmarola - uninhabited, untamed, impossibly blue. Explore hidden caves, swim in glassy coves, and share a picnic-style BBQ onboard. By afternoon, the sails turn east. Your final night in Ischia is a sunset celebration - one long table, laughter, and stories beneath the stars.
Day 8: Ischia → Naples
Coffee on deck, the city skyline rising ahead. Naples comes back into view, the week a blur of salt, laughter, and late-night spritzes. Disembark sun-kissed, restored, and ready to carry the islands home with you.
