Inbound sample itinerary:

Day 1 // Ponza/ Palmerola

We welcome you aboard at the Marina in Ponza at 10 am on Sunday morning. Once aboard and settled, we set sail for the island of Palmerola, just 10 miles away from Ponza. Palmerola is the crown jewel of the Pontine Islands. Its sheer white cliffs and deep blue grottos make for a stunning environment for swimming, paddle boarding, and dinghy adventures. Our day will be spent touring the many grottos and pebbly beaches, eating your first meal for lunch made by Chef Charli, as you settle into your new nautical home for the week. We close our day with dinner at an exclusive, beachside restaurant overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Day 2 // Palmarola/ Ventotene

After a lazy morning anchored off Palmerola, we sail for Ventotene. This quaint Italian town feels like going back in time, children swim in ancient grottos lined with Roman-era carved steps that lead into the sea, while grandparents enjoy conversations in the town square. The stresses of modern busy life are nowhere to be seen or felt. After a day of relaxing, we prepare for a romantic night out in this quintessential Italian seaside town.

Day 3 // Ventotene/ Ischia

Our morning in Ventotene is spent savoring fresh pastries, before setting off for the hot springs of Sargetto on the Island of Ischia. Here we enjoy lounging and swimming at the seaside hot springs followed by lunch and a sail to the Castle of Argenesse for Cocktails and a beautiful view of the sunset, overlooking the Gulf of Naples.

Day 4 // Ischia/ Nerano

On our fourth day aboard, we set sail across the Gulf of Naples, passing close by the island of Capri, to the Coastal town of Nerano. For those groups who choose the optional cooking class experience, we shuttle to a farmhouse overlooking Sorrento for a delightful afternoon of cooking, eating, and learning, hosted by a local Italian family. For those groups who choose not to do the cooking class, we will enjoy swimming, sunbathing ashore, and exploring the grottos of Nerano.

Day 5 // Nerano/ Positano

Near the town of Nerano is a hidden gem of the Amalfi coast, where we explore a small grotto just big enough to fit our tender and a few paddle boards, before making our way to the Iconic town of Positano. Our afternoon is spent walking through the bustling town of Positano, shopping, and sightseeing before closing our day with a beautiful dinner aboard.

Day 6 // Positano/ Salerno

After enjoying a morning tour of Positano, we make our way to the beachside restaurant of D’Adalfo for lunch and a swim. Then we sail along the Amalfi coast enjoying sites only available from a boat, subsequently arriving at Marina d'Arechi in Salerno where we will enjoy dinner together at a wonderful restaurant ashore.

Day 7

Waking up in the port makes for an easy moring transfer to Napoli airport or where ever your journey takes you next.
