Sail the Amalfi Coast & and the Pontine Islands

The Pontine Islands, located off the west coast of Italy in the Tyrannian Sea, offer an incredible mix of dramatic scenery and cultural splendor. Our tour begins on the Amalfi Coast and takes us 90 nautical miles out to the island of Ponza. Each island offers a new opportunity to enjoy the Italian culture, history, and the many flavors the region has to offer while sailing the islands of Ischia, Ventotene, Ponza, and Palmerola and, of course, the iconic seaside towns, Sorrento, Port of Amalfi and Positano.

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 Amalfi Coast and the Pontine islands make for a breath-taking sailing destination.

A journey filled with unique experiences

Castle of Argenesse

Castello Aragoneseis is built on a small tidal island east of Ischia at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples. The castle stands on a volcanic rocky islet that connects to the larger island of Ischia by a causeway. Our evening is spent touring this impressive historic site with its art collections, views, and a rooftop cocktail cafe overlooking the Gulf of Naples.

 

Hotsprings of Sorgeto

Ischia is famous for its natural hot springs the most famous of which is Sorgeto where we bathe in a variety of natural pools with heated seawater that bubbles up from the Island’s underground volcanic activity. After lounging in the pebbly thermal pools, one can sunbathe on sunchairs in a breathtaking bay with our catamaran anchored right offshore, ready to bring us on to our next paradise.

 

An Italian family cooking class

Here we learn to prepare classic Italian dishes, with a local family, in an old farmhouse overlooking the Sorrentine coastline.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime pleasure; the tomatoes from the garden, the milk from the cow in the yard, and the lemons from the orchard come together for an unforgettable intimate afternoon in a unique Italian family environment.

 

Secret grottos & sea caves

Venture into these well-kept secrets on the Amalfi Coast, as we sail from island to island. Every day brings a new enchanting cave or grotto to explore.
