From Positano’s shore you rise onto open Mediterranean blue for an eight-hour loop that stitches together two very different islands: Ischia’s volcanic geology, thermal inlets and cliffside villages, and Procida’s compact, candy-colored harbor at Marina della Corricella. This private tour spends time anchored for swims and snorkeling, slips past San Pietro Beach and the Bay of Sorgeto, and includes a seaside lunch amid Procida’s pastel houses — all departing from a meeting point in Positano.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FORTRESS

Aragonese Castle from the water

The route takes you to a vantage that lays the Aragonese Castle’s medieval silhouette against Ischia’s coastline — a principal visual anchor of the island and a recurring photographic moment on the cruise.

THE NATURAL SPA

Bay of Sorgeto’s thermal baths

The itinerary includes the Bay of Sorgeto, noted for its natural thermal waters where the boat pauses to allow guests to experience warm springs and sheltered coves along Ischia’s shores.

THE VILLAGE

Marina della Corricella — Procida’s pastel heart

Lunch is taken in Marina della Corricella, the fishing village whose tiered, colorful houses frame the harbor — the quintessential Procida image and the tour’s gastronomic stop.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

This is a day designed around movement and moments: a morning departure from Positano, a sea-hugging approach to Ischia’s key coastal features (San Pietro Beach, San Montano Bay, Bay of Sorgeto), an exploration of Sant’Angelo’s stacked houses, then a crossing to Procida for a slow lunch in Marina della Corricella before the return leg along the Amalfi coastline. Expect dedicated stops for swimming and snorkeling and an easy, private-boat rhythm that prioritizes views and time ashore.
