A private, skippered day around Ischia — seven and a half hours from Forio.
Set off from Molo di Forio aboard a traditional gozzo for a private, skippered cruise around Ischia. Operated by West Coast srl, the 7.5‑hour excursion hands navigation and logistics to a local professional: fuel, beach towels, cold drinks and snorkeling masks are provided so the day becomes about sun, sea and the small discoveries your skipper will point out. Because the tour is private you can tailor the route and rhythm — or simply surrender the plan and let your skipper mark out sheltered coves and snorkeling halts.

Ideal for celebrations and private moments
Because the tour is private and customizable, it’s well suited to proposals, stag/hen parties and honeymoon celebrations — the skipper can create the atmosphere you want in just a single day at sea.
