WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
Towards Positano
After boarding in the afternoon, we depart from Marina di Stabia and immediately enter the picture postcard setting as we set sail for Positano. The best way to experience this week on a catamaran on the Amalfi Coast is to anchor in front of the villages and go ashore with the convenient taxi boats. Today, for example, we can stroll through the alleys, stairways, and scent of lemons, or head to most beautiful beaches of Positano such as Spiaggia Grande, Fornillo or the more secluded San Pietro Laurito. The beauty of this tour is that we don't have to think about anything because on this catamaran there are two hostesses who take care of preparing meals and stocking the galley.
Second day
The beaches of the Amalfi Coast
Jonas's tip: before setting off again, why not have breakfast at the famous La Zagara pastry shop? Today's trip will be short but packed with wonders. The coast rises vertically and the blue becomes deeper: we pass in front of the famous Fiordo di Furore and the beach of Marina di Praia, which we can easily reach from the sea by boat. Arrival in Amalfi: In the afternoon, it is worth taking the time to visit Amalfi following the axis of the historic center to the symbolic places: the Cathedral, the Cloister of Paradise, and the fountain of Sant'Andrea. For dinner, we stay on the catamaran to taste one of the dishes prepared by the hostess.
Third day
The island of Capri
The island should be viewed from the sea, because that is where it reveals its best features. The Blue Grottoand the Faraglioni rocks of Capri are iconic, but Jonas recommends taking a complete tour of the island to find the right cove and avoid the August crowds. The beauty of a catamaran vacation is that you can reach the most beautiful places in the Gulf of Naples in a more relaxed way. Let's dive into the turquoise waters for a swim or, plan B, let's go ashore for a 2-3 km loop along the Pizzolungo trail, with views of the Faraglioni.
An evening swim between sheer cliffs and blue water is a classic part of any self-respecting boat vacation!
Fourth day
Sant'Angelo d'Ischia
We continue our 7 days on a catamaran in the Gulf of Naples heading for Ischia, the pearl of the gulf: greener, larger, more livable, with an irresistible mix of sea, villages, and history. Our advice is to alternate snorkeling in coves accessible only by sea with anexcursion to Sant'Angelo d'Ischia , whose center is completely pedestrianized. Depending on the weather and the style we want to give to our vacation, the skipper will advise us where to spend an exciting night at anchor.
Fifth day
Ischia
To really get to know Ischia, it's best to stay for two days. This allows us to take a tour of Ischia by boat to reach the quietest beaches, even in August. We relax on the sun loungers, taste some local wine served by the hostess, or listen to the sound of the sea. This week on the boat is synonymous with relaxation and exclusivity. Jonas's tip for today? Go to Sorgeto Bay for a free thermal bath in sea water at 35–37°C or head to Maronti beach, considered one of most beautiful in Ischia.
Sixth day
The colors of Procida
After a delicious breakfast in the cockpit, we set sail for the most colorful island. We visit Procida with its pastel-colored houses, fishing boats, and sheltered bays, perfect for a dip away from the hustle and bustle and lunch by the sea. If, on the other hand, you are looking for crystal-clear water, you will love the Chiaia beach. Want a great plan B? Climb up to the Belvedere Terra Murata to watch the most beautiful sunset in Procida.
Seventh day
Gulf of Naples
The last day of this catamaran vacation takes us across the Gulf of Naples on a beautiful sailing trip that allows us to enjoy our last swims and a spectacular finale with views of Naples and Vesuvius in the background. Depending on the weather conditions, we will decide together with the skipper whether to return to the Marina di Stabia and find a traditional Campania restaurant or spend one last night at anchor.
Eighth day
Disembarkation
We have come to the end of this boat holiday with skipper. During our 7 days, we sailed between the islands of Ischia, Capri, Procida, and the most famous locations on the Amalfi Coast, alternating between diving into an incredible sea and visiting world-famous villages. The 2 hostesses on board spoiled us by preparing meals and keeping the boat tidy: it has been a relaxing week of sailing, but now it's time to disembark by 9:00 a.m.
