An Inside Look at the Itinerary

This tour offers a well-crafted balance of exploration and relaxation. You’ll start at Marina Molo Luise in Naples, where the elegant LivTours Azimut 62s yacht awaits. With a capacity of up to 12 passengers, it’s intimate enough for a cozy group but spacious enough to spread out comfortably. The skipper and onboard host are there to make sure everything runs smoothly, from the sailing to the snacks.

Once on board, the real magic begins. The yacht sets sail, leaving behind the busy port of Naples, and you immediately feel the difference. The gentle breeze and warm sun create a perfect sailing atmosphere. As you cruise toward the islands, your eyes are treated to views of the Gulf of Naples, the coastline, and Mount Vesuvius—a reminder of how dramatic and scenic this stretch of Italy truly is.

Procida: A Colorful Coastal Gem

Your first stop is Procida, a tiny island bursting with character. Unlike the more touristy spots, Procida maintains an authentic, laid-back charm. Think pastel-colored houses lining the water’s edge and narrow streets filled with local life. You’ll circle the island’s coastline, admiring secluded coves and quaint marinas.

Many guests comment on how Procida feels like a well-kept secret, offering tranquility and genuine local color. A highlight is walking through Marina di Corricella, where brightly painted fisherman’s houses create a postcard-perfect scene. If time allows, you might pop into a local shop or grab a drink at an outdoor café—perhaps an Aperol spritz or a cold beer—delighting in simple pleasures.

Swimming and Snorkeling in the Tyrrhenian Sea

After exploring Procida’s charm, it’s time to cool off. The yacht’s knowledgeable skipper will guide you to the best spots for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. The water is described as turquoise and inviting, making it easy to understand why these islands are so loved for their natural beauty.

Guests often praise the complimentary towels, snorkels, and drinks—the perfect ingredients for a luxurious yet informal day on the water. Swimming here feels exclusive; with the yacht anchoring in quiet coves, you’re far from crowded beaches and can enjoy privacy in the calm waters.

Ischia: The Volcanic Beauty with a Hollywood Past

Next, the yacht heads to Ischia, the largest of the two islands and a favorite among celebrities and artists for its lush landscapes and thermal spas. With its volcanic terrain, green forests, vineyards, and rocky beaches, Ischia offers a dramatic contrast to Procida’s quaintness.

The highlight here is the Aragonese Castle, a medieval fortress perched on a volcanic rock that has watched over the island for centuries. You might also admire the dotted vineyards and manicured gardens, evidence of the island’s agricultural richness. The views from the yacht’s spacious deck are breathtaking, perfect for snapping photos of the rugged coastline and the island’s unique formations.

Since the tour doesn’t include hotel pickup or drop-off, you’ll need to arrange your transportation to and from the marina.

Analyzing the Value

When considering the price point, it’s important to factor in the luxury of the yacht, the personalized service, and the all-inclusive snacks and drinks.

The scenic beauty and tranquil swimming spots add to the overall value, especially for those wanting a more refined day on the water.

The absence of lunch might be a drawback for some, but it also means you have the flexibility to choose where and what to eat on land or bring your own snacks. The full-day length allows you to savor each moment without feeling hurried, making it worthwhile for those willing to spend a bit more for quality and comfort.

It’s perfect for couples or small groups celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a relaxing day with stunning views. Those interested in sea swimming and snorkeling will find plenty of opportunities to cool off and enjoy the natural surroundings.

However, it’s less ideal for non-swimmers or those prone to seasickness, given the sea-based nature of the trip. Since it’s a private tour, it’s also a good choice for travelers who want a more tailored, flexible experience rather than a fixed itinerary.
