Procida Island

Step aboard a luxury yacht in Naples and spend a full day exploring two very different islands in one escape: green, volcanic Ischia and colorful, cinematic Procida. This Luxury Yacht Escape to Ischia and Procida combines a comfortable private crossing, coastal cruising, swim stops in sheltered bays and free time on land in some of the most authentic villages in the Bay of Naples. You have your own elegant yacht with powerful engines, spacious decks and plenty of amenities on board. Together with your skipper, you’ll decide whether to start from Ischia’s San Montano Bay or from the more dramatic southern side near Sant’Angelo, and then continue on to Vivara and the pastel fishing village of Marina Corricella on Procida – for a day that feels like pure island‑hopping Dolce Vita. What to Expect on Your Ischia & Procida Yacht Escape Departure from Naples Your day begins at the marina in Naples, where you meet your skipper and step on board your luxury yacht – modern, elegant, with fast engines and plenty of comfort on deck and inside. After a short welcome and safety briefing, we leave the harbor and head out across the bay. As Naples and Vesuvius fall behind, you can settle into the cushions with a drink and watch the coastline open up in front of you. Approaching Ischia: First Views from the Sea After roughly an hour of comfortable navigation, the green silhouette of Ischia appears ahead. You’ll see a mix of volcanic cliffs, pine‑covered slopes and small towns by the sea. At this point, together with your captain, you can choose between two different ways to start your day around Ischia before continuing on to Procida. Both options eventually bring you to Procida and Marina Corricella; they just change how you experience Ischia first. 👉🏼 Prefer beaches and a gentle start, or dramatic coves and hidden bays? Tell your skipper and pick the itinerary that matches your mood. Option 1 – San Montano Bay, Aragonese Castle & Procida San Montano Bay: A Sheltered, “Tropical” Inlet One of the most relaxing ways to begin your Ischia loop is at San Montano Bay, near Lacco Ameno. This crescent‑shaped bay is framed by green headlands and covered in soft sand, often described as one of the island’s most “tropical‑looking” beaches. From the yacht you see calm, shallow, crystal‑clear water and lush vegetation all around. The bay is naturally sheltered, making it an ideal spot for a first swim stop. You can: Dive in from the boat into calm water Snorkel along the rocky edges of the bay Simply float and look back at the greenery and gentle slopes surrounding you It’s a soft, peaceful introduction to the day – a complete contrast to the busy pace of Naples. Aragonese Castle: Ischia’s Iconic Fortress From San Montano, we continue along the coast toward one of Ischia’s most iconic landmarks: the Aragonese Castle. This medieval fortress rises on its own rocky islet, connected to Ischia by a stone causeway, and offers panoramic views in all directions. Arriving by yacht, you get to admire the castle from the sea first, which is easily the most dramatic angle. Depending on timing and your interests, you can: Stay aboard and enjoy a slow pass with photos around the castle, or Go ashore near Ischia Ponte for a visit, a walk, or lunch with a castle view The castle complex includes churches, terraces and viewpoints, and is one of the most atmospheric places on the island. Even if you don’t go inside, the stop near Ischia Ponte is ideal for stretching your legs and feeling the island’s historic heart. 👉🏼 Want time to visit the castle or eat nearby? Tell us when you book and we’ll shape the schedule around it. Crossing to Procida via Vivara Leaving Ischia, we set course toward Procida, often passing near Vivara – a small, crescent‑shaped island connected to Procida by a pedestrian bridge. Vivara is a protected nature reserve and part of the “Regno di Nettuno” Marine Protected Area, known for its wild vegetation and rich marine life. From the yacht, you’ll admire its untouched, green slopes and clear water along the coast. This stretch is perfect for another swim stop: the water here tends to be particularly clean and inviting, with good visibility for snorkeling around the rocky shoreline. Marina Corricella: Procida’s Colorful Fishing Village On the Procida side, we continue around the island until we reach Marina Corricella, the most ancient and picturesque fishing village on Procida. Viewed from the sea, it looks like a pastel amphitheater: houses in shades of pink, yellow and white stacked one above the other, with fishing boats and nets along the waterfront. Marina Corricella is pedestrian‑only and can be reached only by sea or via stairways from above, which keeps its atmosphere quiet and timeless. Once ashore, you can:​ Wander through the narrow lanes and stairways Sit at a waterfront bar or trattoria for a drink or snack Take photos from different angles of the harbor and houses For many guests, this is the moment when Procida steals their heart – a perfect closing chapter before heading back to Naples. 👉🏼 Want to linger in Corricella for longer? Just agree the timing with your captain – the yacht will be ready when you are. Option 2 – Sorgeto, Sant’Angelo, San Pancrazio & Procida If you prefer a slightly more dramatic, “wild coast” start to your day around Ischia, your skipper can instead first guide the yacht along the southern side of Ischia before you head to the castle and then to Procida. Note: because Sorgeto is the furthest from Naples, choosing this itinerary means less time for later stops (e.g. shorter castle/Procida visit) so we prioritize the most unique moments. Bay of Sorgeto: Natural Hot Springs by the Sea (First Stop) Since Sorgeto is the furthest point from Naples, we start here if you choose this itinerary. Bay of Sorgeto is a small cove where natural hot springs flow directly into the sea, forming rock pools of warm, mineral‑rich water. From the yacht we anchor just offshore so you can swim in and experience the temperature gradient – cooler sea water mixing with streams of naturally hot thermal water, like open‑air hot tubs set between the rocks. It’s a unique, volcanic spa moment in a hidden cove that feels far from the world. Sorgeto adds a bit of time on the Ischia coast, so we usually recommend it for guests who prefer fewer stops overall but deeper experiences in each place. Sant’Angelo: A Chic, Car‑Free Village by the Sea From Sorgeto, we continue along the southern coast to Sant’Angelo, a chic, mostly car‑free village built around a small harbor. White houses, small squares and terraces overlook the sea, giving it a refined, almost boutique feel.​ From the yacht you can admire the village from the water or go ashore for a stroll, a coffee or a quick look at its narrow lanes and little piazza. It’s a very photogenic stop, especially for guests who like charming, slightly off‑the‑radar places. San Pancrazio Bay: Clear Water and Cliffs Next along this coastline is the Bay of San Pancrazio, known for its transparent, blue‑green water and rocky backdrop. This cove feels more hidden and wild than San Montano: framed by cliffs and accessible mainly from the sea, which keeps it relatively quiet.​ Here the yacht can drop anchor so you can: Swim in particularly clear water Snorkel along the rocks and explore the seabed Relax on deck surrounded by dramatic coastal scenery Aragonese Castle and Onward to Procida From the southern side, we curve back toward the Aragonese Castle area, where you can choose the same options as in Option 1: a scenic pass, a stop for photos, or time ashore around Ischia Ponte. Afterwards, the route continues toward Vivara and then Procida, with the same opportunity for a swim near the protected coastline and a final stop in Marina Corricella. The difference between the two itineraries is simply what you see and where you swim first: Option 1 starts gently with San Montano and the north side; Option 2 dives into the wilder southern coast with Sorgeto, Sant’Angelo and San Pancrazio. 👉🏼 Not sure which option suits you better? You can decide in advance or directly on board after seeing the day’s wind and sea conditions. Return to Naples After your day between Ischia’s bays and turquoise waters and Procida’s pastel villages and black‑sand beaches, we set course back toward Naples. Depending on timing and sea conditions, there may be space for a final short swim or simply a slow, relaxed navigation across the bay as the islands fade into the distance. You’ll arrive in Naples with the sense of having truly island‑hopped the Bay of Naples in one day – from green Ischia to colorful Procida – without ever stressing about ferries, timetables or crowds. It’s two islands, one perfect day at sea. Why Choose Luxury Yacht Escape to Ischia and Procida? Two islands in one day: You experience both Ischia and Procida on a single, carefully planned route – without ever changing boats. Comfort and privacy: A spacious, stylish yacht with sun deck, shaded areas and indoor space gives you a comfortable base for swimming, relaxing and exploring. Authentic stops: From San Montano Bay or San Pancrazio’s clear waters to the Aragonese Castle and Marina Corricella, the itinerary focuses on places where the islands still feel genuine and alive. Flexible, not scripted: You can speak with your skipper and adjust the balance between swimming, time on land, and navigation based on what you enjoy most on the day. Stress‑free from start to finish: No crowds, no schedules to chase. Just one elegant yacht from Naples, all day long, with everything set up for you. Ideal For Couples who want a romantic, slow‑paced yacht experience with swims in quiet bays and time ashore in colorful, authentic island villages. Families looking for a comfortable, private setting where children can swim safely, rest on board, and explore Ischia and Procida without crowds or tight schedules. Groups of friends eager to share a full day at sea together, splitting the cost of a luxury yacht while enjoying space, music and multiple swim stops. Luxury travelers who prefer high‑end, fully private experiences, with a stylish yacht, flexible itinerary and personalized service from departure to return.

Step on board a fast, comfortable boat in Naples and spend a full day discovering Procida exactly the way it should be experienced: from the sea. This Private Sea Day Boat Tour of Procida Island gives you a complete day on the water with a scenic crossing, coastal cruising along colorful fishing villages and black‑sand beaches, and plenty of time to swim and relax in quiet bays. You travel on a private, elegant boat with powerful engines, wide cushions, shade and easy access to the water. Together with your skipper, you can decide if you’d like to stop on land in Procida – for example in Marina di Corricella – or prefer to stay at sea and enjoy every corner of the coastline. This private Procida sea day is designed for guests who want to spend most of their time on the water, with the freedom to add a land stop only if they really want it. You leave from Naples on a fast boat, cross the bay in comfort and spend the rest of the day circling Procida and nearby Vivara, stopping to swim whenever the water looks irresistible. The atmosphere on board is relaxed and informal: sunbathing at the bow, shade when you need it, music if you like, and a skipper always ready to suggest the best coves and beaches for a swim. If at some point you decide you’d like to get off in Marina di Corricella for a stroll, a gelato or to see the “Postman” locations, your captain can arrange it – but nothing is forced. It’s your sea day, your way. What to Expect Departure from Naples Your day starts at the marina in Naples, where you meet your skipper and board your fast boat. The boat is private, reserved just for you and your group, with padded seating, sun‑deck cushions, a shaded area and a swim ladder for easy access to the water. After a short safety briefing, you leave the harbor and head out across the Bay of Naples. As the skyline of Naples and Vesuvius slides behind you, you can get comfortable on deck with a drink and enjoy the first part of your sea day. The crossing already feels like a change of rhythm: open water ahead and the islands beginning to appear in the distance. First Views of Procida from the Water After around an hour of navigation, Procida appears ahead – small, colorful and charming. You start to see pastel houses, small harbors and dark volcanic beaches framed by tuff cliffs. Travelling on a private boat means you don’t have to go straight into the main port if you don’t want to. Instead, your skipper begins to show you the coastline: little bays, arches in the rock and the changing palette of colors as you move around the island. Based on the conditions, you’ll agree together on the direction of the coastal loop and which spots to prioritize: Marina di Corricella, Chiaiolella, Spiaggia del Postino, or the Chiaiozza “natural pool”. 👉🏼 Want to prioritize Marina di Corricella, wild swim spots, or a mix of both? Tell your skipper at the beginning – the day is flexible. Coastal Loop: Villages, Beaches and Secret Bays Once you start hugging the coastline, Procida reveals why so many people fall in love with it: pastel harbors, black‑sand beaches, views to the Sorrento Peninsula and tiny coves only reachable by sea. A private sea day boat tour lets you stay close to the cliffs, stop where the water looks inviting and never rush your swim stops. Below is an example of how your day can unfold; the exact order can change depending on sea, wind and your preferences. Marina di Corricella – Pastel Fishing Village from the Sea One of the most iconic views of Procida is Marina di Corricella, the island’s oldest fishing village. From the water it looks like a pastel amphitheater: houses in pink, yellow, white and blue stacked one above the other, with nets and small fishing boats along the quay. Seen from your boat, Corricella feels like a living postcard. Because the village is pedestrian‑only and can only be reached by sea or stairways from above, arriving by boat keeps its quiet, timeless atmosphere intact. Your skipper will slow down so you can: Admire the “nativity scene” of houses and terraces Take photos from different angles of the harbor Decide whether you’d like to come back here later for a land stop Chiaia Beach – Central but Secluded Not far from Corricella lies Chiaia Beach, one of Procida’s most beautiful and central beaches, but also one of its most “hidden”. From land it’s reached by stairways; from the sea it appears as a long strip of black sand at the bottom of a bay, with views back to Corricella and Terra Murata on the hill. This is an excellent spot for a first swim of the day, especially if you like calmer water and a wider beach backdrop. You can: Swim in shallow, family‑friendly water Enjoy views back towards the Sorrento Peninsula and Corricella Relax on board while others swim to shore and back Spiaggia del Postino – Cinema & Black Sand Continuing along the coast, you reach the beach made famous by the film Il Postino: Pozzo Vecchio, now widely known as the Spiaggia del Postino. This black‑sand cove on the western side of the island is where some of the most memorable scenes of the movie were filmed – the setting for the first meeting between Mario and Beatrice.​ From the sea you can appreciate the dark sand, the cliffs around it and the special light that made it such a perfect movie location. Depending on conditions and time, this can be another great swim stop or a place to simply slow down and take in the atmosphere. Chiaiolella & Vivara – Long Beach and Island Bridge On the south‑western side, you arrive at the Chiaiolella area, one of Procida’s most renowned stretches of coastline. Here you find a long volcanic beach with shallow water, views toward Ischia and a lively atmosphere of small bars and restaurants behind the shore. Just off this area sits Vivara, a small, crescent‑shaped island connected to Procida by a pedestrian bridge and part of a protected nature reserve. From your boat you can admire its wild, green slopes and the arc of the bridge – a beautiful backdrop for photos and a reminder of how close nature still is here. This stretch is ideal if you want a mix of: A longer beach backdrop (Chiaiolella) A sense of wild nature (Vivara) Good, clear water for extended swims Chiaiozza Bay – Natural Pool in the Rock Near Marina di Chiaiolella there is a small hidden gem: Chiaiozza Bay, accessible only by sea or private descent. This little cove is framed by tuff cliffs, with beautiful clear water and a natural “pool” carved into the rock where you can bathe protected from waves.​ With a private boat, your skipper can anchor just outside and let you: Swim into the bay and feel how the water changes as you move into the natural rock pool Snorkel along the tuff cliffs and explore the underwater shapes Enjoy one of the most intimate, off‑the‑radar spots of the day It’s the kind of place most large boat tours never see – and exactly the sort of detail that makes a private Procida sea day feel special. Optional Stop on Land in Procida (On Request) Although this is designed as a sea day, you can absolutely add a land stop if you wish. The most natural choice is Marina di Corricella, thanks to its unique atmosphere and cinematic history. If you’d like to set foot on the island, your skipper can bring you ashore in Corricella so you can: Walk through the narrow alleys and stairways of the fishing village Stop for a gelato, aperitivo or lunch at a waterfront bar or trattoria Look for locations from Il Postino and enjoy the quiet, car‑free vibe Because time at sea is limited, we usually recommend keeping the land stop short and focused, so you don’t have to rush your swim spots and coastal cruising. Whether you choose to go ashore or stay on the boat the whole time is completely up to you. Cruise Back to Naples Towards the end of the afternoon, the boat points back toward Naples. The return crossing is a chance to stretch out on deck, look back at Procida’s colorful houses fading into the distance and enjoy the last part of your day on the water. You arrive in Naples with the feeling of having spent a true island sea day: not just “going to Procida”, but living it from the water, with swims, views and maybe one short village stop, all at your own rhythm. Why Choose the Private Sea Day Boat Tour of Procida Island from Naples? More sea time, less hassle: This tour is built around the boat, you spend most of your time swimming and cruising around Procida, without worrying about ferry times, crowded group tours or rigid schedules. Fast, comfortable boat: You travel on a private fast boat – quick enough to cross the bay efficiently, but spacious and stable enough to relax, sunbathe and move around comfortably, with shade, cushions and an easy swim ladder. Flexible, not scripted: You decide with your skipper how to balance the day: more swim stops, more time near Marina di Corricella, or a short land visit. The coastal loop is clear, but the rhythm is yours. Hidden beaches and small bays: Unlike larger boats, a fast open boat can slip into smaller coves like Chiaiozza, approach volcanic cliffs and stop in front of quiet beaches such as Chiaia or the Spiaggia del Postino, giving you a more intimate, “up‑close” view of the island. Private from start to finish: The boat is only for you and your group, so you choose the music, the atmosphere and how relaxed or active you want the day to be. No loud microphones, no fixed commentary – just your captain, the boat and Procida. Ideal For Couples who want a romantic, laid‑back Procida day with pastel villages, quiet bays and the option to step ashore in Marina di Corricella only if they feel like it. Families who want a safe, private boat with easy access to the water, shallow beaches like Chiaia and Chiaiolella, and the flexibility to adapt stops to children’s energy and mood. Groups of friends looking for a full “sea day” with swimming, music and unique spots like the natural rock pool at Chiaiozza, while splitting the cost of a private boat. Cruise guests or short‑stay visitors who want a complete Procida boat experience in one day, without needing to plan multiple ferries or join large group excursions.

What to Expect Departure from Naples at Sunset Your evening starts at the marina in Naples, where you meet your skipper and board your fast boat as the sun begins its descent over Vesuvius. The boat is private, reserved just for you and your group, with padded seating, sun‑deck cushions, a shaded area and comfortable spaces for the return. After a short safety briefing, you leave the harbor and head across the Bay of Naples toward Procida. The 50-minute crossing is pure magic: Naples' skyline glowing golden, Vesuvius turning pink, then Procida's colorful coastline appearing ahead. You can get comfortable on deck with drinks (soft drinks, wine, prosecco – whatever you prefer) and enjoy your skipper's stories about the island's fishing heritage and Il Postino film locations. Arrival in Marina di Corricella – The Heart of Procida After a smooth 50-minute sail, you arrive at Marina di Corricella, Procida's oldest and most picturesque fishing village. Seen from the sea at dusk, it's breathtaking: pastel houses (pink, yellow, ochre) stacked like a nativity scene above the tiny harbor, fishing boats bobbing gently, lanterns beginning to glow. Your skipper docks at the quay and you'll have 2–3 hours (depending on your dinner timing) to: Dinner in Corricella: Fresh seafood, pasta with local clams, Procida lemon dishes – we recommend waterfront spots like "Ristorante Da Maria Alla Corricella" or "La Lampara" (classic fishing tavernas), or let you choose your favorite. Many have tables right on the water with village views. Stroll the alleys: Wander car-free stairways, tiny squares and hidden viewpoints – the perfect post-dinner passeggiata. Lingua of Procida at Marina Grande: Just a 5-minute walk away, try Procida's famous sweet tongue pastry – fried dough filled with custard or lemon cream, dusted with sugar. It's the island's signature dessert and a must for any visit. This is Procida at its most authentic: quiet, romantic, and worlds away from Naples in under an hour. 👉🏼 We send restaurant recommendations after booking (with menus, prices and vibe), or you choose freely – your skipper stays nearby and coordinates pickup time. Evening Walk & Lingua of Procida With 2–3 hours on land, dinner naturally flows into an evening stroll. Marina di Corricella's pedestrian alleys invite you to: Climb stairways for views over the glowing harbor Peek into family-run trattorias still serving late diners Discover corners that starred in Il Postino and other films The 5-minute walk to Marina Grande (Procida's main port) lets you cap the evening with Lingua of Procida – warm, crispy pastry pockets filled with sweet lemon cream or custard, a Procida specialty since the 1800s. Locals eat them fresh from the fryer, often with a shot of limoncello. It's the kind of spontaneous, delicious moment that makes island life magical. Return Sail to Naples Under the Stars When you're ready (usually 11–11:30 PM), your skipper is waiting at the dock. You reboard and begin the smooth 50-minute sail back to Naples under a starry sky, Procida's lights fading behind you.
