Details

Venturing into the Gulf of Naples through Little Prince Charters offers an unmistakably authentic taste of two remarkable Italian islands: Ischia and Procida. Located just off Italy's southwestern coast within the Metropolitan City of Naples, these islands radiate Mediterranean charm with rugged coastlines, crystalline waters, and colorful harbors alive with local life. Little Prince Charters specializes in private charters that blend comfort with intimate encounters of nature and culture. Their tailored day trips carve out time for refreshing swims in secluded coves backed by volcanic rock formations, alongside leisurely strolls through vibrant villages marked by pastel facades and bustling waterfront markets.

Ischia, with its thermal springs and steep cliffs, offers more than natural beauty. The island’s volcanic origins shape its thermal spas and lush gardens, where locals have cultivated citrus groves and vineyards for centuries. Procida, smaller but equally compelling, boasts a historic port area rich with narrow alleys and frescoed buildings, a reminder of its fishing village heritage. Guests can soak in panoramic views of Mount Epomeo’s verdant slopes or savor freshly caught seafood served poolside or dockside during a midday meal.

Little Prince Charters stands out in this region by providing personalized itineraries that balance adventure and relaxation. Unlike crowded group tours, their private excursions allow guests to set the pace—whether diving into a swim beneath cliffs, discovering less accessible spots, or simply absorbing the serene surroundings with a glass of local wine in hand. Their knowledgeable crew enhances the experience with insights into local geology, history, and culture.

The Gulf of Naples’ landscape, featuring volcanic remnants and Mediterranean flora, meets historic villages and clear waters to form an outdoor playground that’s as educational as it is rejuvenating. For travelers keen on immersing themselves in southern Italy’s coastal treasures, Little Prince Charters offers an unmatched gateway to savor Ischia and Procida’s natural and cultural gifts with style and ease.
