Sailing Capri, Ischia and Procida: Yacht Charter in the Heart of the Mediterranean
Sailing between Capri, Ischia and Procida means crossing three completely different souls of the Mediterranean within just a handful of nautical miles. Iconic cliffs, natural thermal bays and pastel-coloured fishing villages alternate along the route, offering a perfect balance of nature, relaxation and vibrant island life.
Choosing a sailing boat rental or catamaran charter in Procida with SailItalia puts you right at the centre of the action: our base is the ideal departure point for an unforgettable Gulf of Naples sailing itinerary.
Gulf of Naples Sailing Itinerary: Islands, History and Harbour Life
1. Procida: Arturo's Island and Italy's Capital of Culture
Start your charter from our home base. Marina Corricella — with its stacked pastel houses reflected in the harbour water — is an experience that stays with you long after you've left. Before setting sail, drop anchor at Cala Sant'Antonio and reach the world's most famous fishing village by tender. Procida is unhurried, authentic, and still largely undiscovered by mass tourism.
2. Ischia: The Green Island and Its Thermal Waters
Sailing along the coast of Ischia brings constant surprises. With your charter boat you can:
-
Anchor at Baia di Sorgeto, where natural thermal springs warm the sea year-round — a unique experience you won't find anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
-
Admire the majestic Aragonese Castle from the water — one of the most dramatic and photogenic fortresses in southern Italy.
-
Relax in the crystal-clear waters of Baia di San Montano, one of the island's most sheltered and beautiful anchorages.
3. Capri: The Blue Island and the Faraglioni
No yacht charter in the Gulf of Naples is complete without a stop at Capri.
-
Moor near the Faraglioni sea stacks for a dive into deep, impossibly blue water.
-
Explore the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) — ideally early in the morning, before the day-trippers arrive.
-
Stop for a sundowner at anchor in Marina Piccola, watching the island's silhouette glow as the sun drops into the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Campanian Flavours: Tasting Southern Italy on Board
The journey continues at the table. With a skippered charter and on-board hostess service, you can savour the best of local Campanian cuisine right in the cockpit of your boat:
-
Spaghetti alle vongole and fresh catch of the day.
-
The iconic coniglio all'ischitana — Ischia's signature slow-cooked rabbit dish.
-
Lingua di Procida — the island's beloved pastry of flaky pastry and lemon cream.
-
A classic insalata caprese made with the freshest buffalo mozzarella you've ever tasted.
