The Pontine Islands, located off the west coast of Italy in the Tyrannian Sea, offer an incredible mix of dramatic scenery and cultural splendor.  These volcanic islands have been home to many Roman emperors starting with Augustus Caesar. Our tour begins on the Island of Ponza and takes us 90 nautical miles to the port of Naples.  Each island offers a new opportunity to enjoy the Italian culture, history, and many flavors the region has to offer while sailing the islands of Prochida, Ischia, Ventotene, Ponza, and Palmerola.  Whether enjoying the sunset from the terrace of the Castle of Argenese, soaking in the thermal hot springs of Sargetto, or touring the many grottos of Palmerola, the Pontine islands make for an incredible cruising destination.
