Outbound sample itinerary:

Day 1 // Positano

We welcome you at the Marina d'Arechi at 9:30 am. Once we are aboard and settled, we set sail along the Amalfi coast towards Positano, exploring the many seaside inlets and pebbly beaches along the way and a lunch at a quintessential Italian beach club.

Day 2 // Nerano

After a lazy morning, we make our way along the Amalfi Coast 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 3 // Ischia

Sailing from the Amalfi Coast, our next stop is the Castle of Argenesse on the Island of Ischia. Cocktails and a beautiful view of the sunset from atop the castle are highlights of our third-day sailing.

Day 4 // Ventotene

After breakfast, we sail to the hot springs of Sargetto. There, we lounge and swim at the seaside hot springs followed by lunch and a sail to the island of Ventotene for a romantic night out in this quintessential Italian seaside town. Waking up in Ventotene is 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 morning of exploring, we continue on to the island of Palmerola.

Day 5 // Palmerola

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. After exploring Palmerola's many natural sites, we close our day with a dinner at an exclusive beachside restaurant overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. 

Day 6 // Ponza

Ponza, just 10 miles away from Palmerola, is a day of land exploration. Visting exclusive swim beaches, and island restaurants, all while touring in our convertible Mini Coopers. This day is one for the books as we wrap up an amazing week in Italy.

Day 7 // Ponza drop day

Our final morning is spent enjoying a wonderful breakfast spread onboard. At 10 am we offload the vessel and set you on your way for the ferry to the mainland and where ever your next adventure takes you.
