On a bright Mediterranean morning the Giro in Gommone lifts off from Porto di Miseno, tracing the western rim of the Campi Flegrei and opening a marine route to Procida and Ischia. This Flegrean coast cruise in a nimble RIB (gommone) puts visitors inches from limestone cliffs, basalt outcrops, and the scattered ruins of ancient Roman seaside villas visible from the water. The itinerary threads past Baia’s large "Cartello" landmark and swings close to the white-painted Capo Miseno lighthouse before angling toward Procida, where the Palazzo d’Avalos and pastel harbors read like frescoes from sea level. After a buoyant swim stop in a crystalline cove, the tour proceeds toward Ischia and the imposing Castello Aragonese, a medieval fortress rising directly from the sea. Operated as a small-group, captain-led excursion out of Porto di Miseno, Giro in Gommone blends rapid coastal hops with the comforts of a private dayboat: an on-board cabin for changing, an active refrigerator, a warm water deck shower, Bluetooth stereo, shade via a tendalino, and bow and stern sunpads for soaking up the view. Stops for swimming are planned in sheltered bays framed by volcanic rock and Posidonia meadows - marine habitats that give the water its striking clarity. Guests can choose to remain on board for a relaxed day of floating and shelling, or step ashore to explore Procida’s narrow lanes or Ischia’s castle and seaside cafés independently. What makes this outing stand out is its focus on nimble coastal access: the gommone slips into coves and under cliffs that larger ferries can’t reach, delivering intimate perspectives on the geology and human history of the Phlegraean archipelago. Skippered navigation around Capo Miseno reveals fault lines and tufa cliffs formed by volcanic activity that shaped the region, while the view of the Aragonese castle demonstrates centuries of maritime strategy and island life. The experience suits swimmers and short-excursion visitors as well as photographers seeking low-angle coastal shots. Practical notes: departures are from Porto di Miseno; the ride is not recommended for people with severe seasickness or reduced mobility, and the operator restricts infants under six. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, swimwear, and identification if you plan to disembark. Giro in Gommone is an agile, comfort-minded way to claim a piece of the Flegrean sea for a day - fast, flexible, and quietly rooted in the volcanic coastline that defines this corner of the Bay of Naples. Typical departures last half to full day depending on route selection, with flexible pick-up times and the option to customize stops if weather permits. The professional skipper provides a safety briefing and local navigation insight, and the crew maintain cleanliness and courteous service. This trip fits families, couples, and small groups looking for an accessible marine escape.
