A wooden gozzo rocks gently as the harbor light slants off blue water — you push off from the gazebo in front of Saturnino restaurant and the island breathes around you. In four hours the coast of Ischia opens in sequence: thermal bays that steam into the sea, tuff cliffs, the silhouette of Aragonese Castle, and the mushroom-shaped rock at Lacco Ameno.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Wear non-slip shoes
Low freeboard makes boarding simple but slippery when wet — closed, grippy deck shoes help.
Plan for morning departures
Mornings are typically calmer with lighter winds and clearer water for snorkeling.
Respect anchoring zones
Avoid stepping onto Posidonia meadows — anchor in sandy areas and follow crew instructions.
