Italy Flotilla - Amalfi Coast

We’ll gather around noon at the marina in Castellammare to handle paperwork with the charter companies, while some of our crew take care of provisioning for the week. Once the boats are checked out and orientations over, we’ll board and get settled, and later relax over a pizza dinner and night at the marina.. 

Early morning we will leave the marina and start heading to our first destination, Procida.  The island will captivate you with its charming fishermen's villages and pastel-colored houses.    We will spend the night at Marina di Procida.  The 20 NM sail will give you a perfect introduction to the beauty of the region.  We will enjoy a relaxing stroll in the town, possibly a nice swim on the beach and later a dinner onshore at one of the many local restaurants.

We will sail from Procida to nearby Ischia (13NM), known for its beaches, medieval villages, crystal-clear sea, and thermal springs. The largest island in the Gulf of Naples displays all its beauty surrounded by nature and the sea. Historic buildings complete the island's rich tourist heritage. We can anchor below the Aragonese Castle and visit the ancient villages with narrow streets full of shops and restaurants.  We make docking reservations at the Port of Sant’Angelo. Dinner at one of the many great restaurants and if you are not afraid of a walk uphill, we definitely encourage you to go to the town of Sant'Angelo and discover the place away from the touristic hassle.

After a relaxing stop at Baia di Sorgeto, where you can soak in naturally heated thermal seawater (35–37°C), we’ll set sail for approximately 19 nautical miles toward one of Italy’s most iconic destinations—Capri.

Set in the heart of the Gulf of Naples, Capri is renowned for its dramatic beauty, with the striking Faraglioni rock formations and its lively, elegant atmosphere centered around the famous piazzetta.

We’ll anchor for the night on the southern side of the island in the beautiful bay of Marina Piccola. From here, you can take a water taxi to the Sirens’ Beach, and then continue up to Capri town by bus or taxi, both easily accessible from the small square at the top of the steps leading from the beach.

From Capri, our next destination is Amalfi, 17NM away. The Amalfi Coast opens with a first inlet of extraordinary beauty: the Baia di Leranto, a nature reserve. Continuing navigation, one encounters the three islets of Lì Galli, located opposite Positano. Homer described these islets as the place where Ulysses was tempted by the Sirens. Once in Amalfi and safely docked, let’s go explore the narrow streets and monuments, following the main road that starts from the central square and connects all the places of interest, like the Cathedral of Amalfi, the Paradise Cloister and Sant'Andrea’s fountain. The beaches offer unique scenery, clear deep blue waters surrounded by rocks and trees overlooking the sea. Dinner on shore, of course, with Limoncello for after dinner drinks… 

After a short sail, we arrive in Positano, where we’ll pick up a mooring buoy just off the village, offering a front-row view of its colorful cliffside charm. The buoy typically includes water taxi service, making it easy to go ashore and explore.

In the late afternoon, we’ll head out together for a special visit to a local lemon farm, where you’ll discover the secrets behind traditional limoncello and mozzarella making—followed, of course, by a tasting of their delicious products. Afterward, you’ll have time to wander through Positano at your own pace.

With its vibrant energy and stunning setting, Positano always delivers an unforgettable atmosphere.

Sailing between Positano and Castellammare offers the opportunity to explore breathtaking coastal gems.  The most famous is definitely the town of Sorrento.  

Sorrento's location is truly unrivaled. Perched atop a 50-meter rocky cliff, the town offers breathtaking views of the entire Gulf of Naples, with Capri, the island jewels, and the iconic silhouette of Vesuvius all in sight. A visit to the Villa Comunale from the heart of Sorrento is essential for taking in this panoramic beauty. Don’t miss Piazza Tasso and Corso Italia, the town's bustling hubs filled with charm and history. The Costa delle Sirene is equally famous for its crystal-clear waters, teeming with marine life and perfect for diving enthusiasts. 

We will arrive at Marina di Stabia by 5:00 pm

Disembark and say goodbye. Yachts must be vacated by 09:00 am, but the memories, new friendships, and unforgettable experiences will stay with you long after you have left.
