The boat slips out of Ischia’s harbor and the island of Procida grows sharper: blocky houses stacking toward Terra Murata, coves flashing turquoise like small mirrors. Onboard a traditional gozzo with room for a dozen guests, the skipper threads between islets, and the sea dares you off the stern — clear, inviting, and cool.

The boat slips out of Ischia’s harbor and the island of Procida grows sharper: blocky houses stacking toward Terra Murata, coves flashing turquoise like small mirrors. Onboard a traditional gozzo with room for a dozen guests, the skipper threads between islets, and the sea dares you off the stern — clear, inviting, and cool.
Procida wears its history on the rocks. Terra Murata overlooks the island with the ruins of Palazzo d’Avalos and a medieval abbey; the volcanic foundation here is part of the same restless geology that built Vesuvius and shaped the Gulf of Naples. Corricella’s stepped facades and fishing arches speak to a working port culture and a cinematic legacy—Pozzo Vecchio beach served as Il Postino’s backdrop.
Expect a mix of guided sightseeing and free time: short boat stops at Vivara (a state nature reserve seen from the water), a swim at Il Postino beach with volcanic sand, a close approach to Marina di Corricella, and a 1–2 hour layover to explore the port on foot. Snacks, bottled water and an aperitif are included; snorkels and masks are welcome but often limited.
Practical edge: sea conditions can change quickly—mornings are typically calmer. Wear reef-friendly sunscreen and water shoes for rocky landings. Bring a light layer for the return, and plan your on-shore hour to coincide with less crowded streets if you want quieter lanes in Corricella. For a compact, scenic daytrip from Ischia, this small-group cruise balances swimming, shoreline history and easy exploration.
