A full-day private 40' yacht from Sorrento explores Ischia and Procida’s volcanic shores, with guided sea views, swims at submerged ruins and time ashore. Comfortable, customizable and ideal for small groups.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Sorrento as the marina loosens its grip and the coastline thins into open blue. The 40-foot yacht settles into a steady roll; sea spray teases your face and the boat’s wake draws a silver thread toward Ischia. From the deck you’ll watch the Aragonese Castle cut its silhouette from volcanic rock and Procida’s Corricella village color the shoreline like a handful of painted houses.

The yacht and island docks can be slippery — shoes with grip protect you and the boat’s finish.

The operator allows swimming and snorkeling; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and water clarity.
