Private Yacht Cruise to Ischia and Procida from Sorrento — 50' Luxury Day Trip

Read the full experience

The yacht slips away from Sorrento’s marina and the coast peels back: pastel houses cut against volcanic rock, and the sea opens with a pale, mercurial calm. On a private 50-foot yacht the day stretches into swims in glassy coves, snorkels over submerged Roman ruins, and slow passes of Ischia’s Aragonese Castle — each stop shaped by wind and tide.

Adventure tips

Provide ship details at bookingIf arriving from a cruise ship, give vessel name and docking times so the crew can plan embarkation and reboarding; this is essential for timing transfers.

Bring reef-safe sunscreenThe boats anchor in shallow bays and submerged ruins—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life when swimming or snorkeling.

Prepare for sea motionEven on calm days, short crossings can rock the boat—take motion-sickness meds if you’re susceptible and stay hydrated.

Footwear for ashore walksBring lightweight, non-slip shoes for short island walks and uneven harbor stones when you go ashore for lunch or shopping.

Recommended gear

Swimsuit: For swimming and snorkeling stops in clear coastal coves.
Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and sensitive marine ecosystems during extended sun exposure.
Non-slip deck shoes or sandals: Helpful for boarding, moving safely on wet decks, and walking on harbor stones ashore.
Light wind/waterproof layer: Evenings and sea breezes can be cool; a light jacket keeps you comfortable on deck.
