On the water off the Gulf of Naples, the Squalo Junior offers private-charter days from Napoli Mergellina that feel like a personal museum of Mediterranean light and geology. This open, comfortable five-passenger boat is ideal for families and small groups wanting a flexible day trip to Capri, Ischia, Procida, Pozzuoli, or the coastal coves of Napoli.

Departing from Napoli Mergellina, your skipper greets you with a welcome drink and a short safety briefing before plotting a course across cobalt sea toward the option you chose. On a full-day (8 ore) cruise you can make for Capri’s Faraglioni—three limestone stacks carved by waves—or for Ischia’s volcanic shorelines, whose thermal springs and pumice cliffs hint at the archipelago’s explosive past. Shorter, 4‑hour half-day runs focus on nearby highlights: secret swimming gorges along Posillipo, the fisherman's lanes of Procida, or a calm anchorage in the Bay of Pozzuoli.

What makes this offering special is the combination of a small, attentive boat and an experienced skipper who packages local knowledge into a gentle, private experience. The Squalo Junior’s open layout is built for sun and sea: platforms for easy swims, shady bimini for hot afternoons, and seating arranged so everyone has an ocean view. With space for five, it’s intimate without feeling cramped—perfect for a family picnic at sea or a laid-back exploration with friends.

Natural highlights on every route include the dramatic Faraglioni, jagged tuff and limestone cliffs, Posillipo’s seacliffs, and the distant silhouette of Vesuvius marking the mainland skyline. Wildlife sightings commonly include diving shearwaters and Mediterranean fish shoals in clear water. Cultural touches are close at hand: Marina Grande in Capri, the colorful houses of Procida (Italy’s 2022 Island of Culture), and historic Roman remnants around Pozzuoli lend each stop a different flavor.

Practical notes: tours run only with skipper onboard and are limited to five people. A fuel surcharge may apply for Positano or longer itineraries; weather or mechanical issues can prompt rescheduling or refund. Bring swimwear, a wind layer, and biodegradable sunscreen; the skipper will advise the best anchorages and swimming spots on the day.

For travelers staying in Naples, the Squalo Junior is an easy, high-value way to see the islands without ferry crowds—a small-boat lens on some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic shores. Book early during high season to secure a morning departure when the water is glassy and the Faraglioni glow; afternoon trips catch the warm late light and calmer anchorages. The skipper doubles as a local guide—pointing out Roman ruins visible from the sea, choosing sheltered coves for children, and suggesting nearby restaurants for lunch on shore. Children and older guests are welcome; the boat’s low freeboard eases boarding and safe swim exits. Pack snacks.
