Details

Perched against the stunning backdrop of the Bay of Naples, Castellammare di Stabia serves as the departure point for CP Charter’s signature 'Esperienza Ischia Full Day' yacht adventure. This full-day itinerary invites travelers to trade the mainland bustle for the shimmering Mediterranean seas, with the option to uncover the volcanic landscapes and healing thermal springs of Ischia or the colorful, compact medieval streets of Procida. CP Charter crafts a journey that balances leisure and immersion, bringing guests aboard sleek, luxurious yachts that provide the perfect vantage point for witnessing the coastline’s striking contrast between craggy cliffs and lush greenery.

Ischia, the larger of the two islands, is known for its geothermal activity, featuring volcanic rock formations that sculpt natural hot springs and spas, a legacy that traces back to Roman times. Visitors gain time to swim in crystalline waters and stroll through historic villages punctuated by centuries-old castles and churches, each narrating stories of refuge and trade that shaped this corner of Campania. Alternatively, Procida offers a different charm: tightly woven fishing alleys lined by vibrant houses that shimmer in pastel hues, echoing an island lifestyle that has resisted modern tourism’s heavier footprints.

The day’s rhythm is set aboard CP Charter’s vessel—sun-dappled decks inviting relaxation between snorkeling sessions, while expertly prepared local cuisine arrives dockside or onboard, introducing fresh seafood and regional flavors that taste of the sea air. As the sun descends, the yacht cruises back toward Castellammare di Stabia, offering radiant Mediterranean sunsets framed by Mount Vesuvius’s distant silhouette.

CP Charter’s service elevates the local outdoor adventure scene by combining maritime heritage with tailored experiences, standing apart thanks to its intimate group sizes and nautical expertise in the Gulf of Naples. Whether you are chasing active island escapes or tranquil coastal moments, this journey presents a genuine way to engage with Campania’s marine landscape through a lens of comfort and authenticity.
