You step aboard a low-profile Sciallino gozzo as the harbor light slices the morning sea; the engine hum is steady, the spray cool on your face. The boat threads between rocky promontories, past the mushroom rock of Lacco Ameno, and into bays where the water turns an honest turquoise. Over eight hours the skipper choreographs a private route—hidden coves for snorkelling, thermal-infused pools in Sorgeto, and the postcard view of Ischia Ponte’s Aragonese Castle.

Ischia and Procida are volcanic islands in the Bay of Naples. Ischia’s green slopes and hot springs owe to its volcanic foundations; Procida’s low cliffs and painted houses reflect a long fishing tradition. Local culture centers on seafood, small family-run trattorie, and a maritime rhythm that still sets daily life.
Expect a mix of motoring and short swims: several one-hour stops are typical (Varulo cove, Punta Imperatore, the Green Grotto, Sorgeto’s thermal pools), with time left for cruising and photography. The tour carries up to six passengers; snorkelling equipment and drinks are provided. The skipper can customize stops to match comfort and weather.
Practical edge: book morning departures to avoid stronger afternoon winds, bring a reef-friendly sunscreen, and pack a light waterproof bag for valuables. If you’re prone to seasickness, pre-treat or choose a calmer day. Respect Posidonia meadows—no anchoring on seagrass—and keep single-use plastics locked away. With basic preparation this private gozzo day is an easy, sensory way to sample the volcanic coast, swim in warm Mediterranean water, and discover bays most visitors miss.
