Details

Castellammare di Stabia, located along Italy’s Campania coast, offers travelers one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating maritime experiences. CP Charter’s “Tour Privato al Tramonto: La Magia dei Faraglioni” presents a private sunset cruise from this historic port along the dramatic Sorrento Coast to the island of Capri. The journey centers on the Faraglioni, three towering limestone sea stacks rising sharply from the Tyrrhenian Sea—iconic natural monuments carved by centuries of wind and waves. As the private boat glides alongside these massive rock formations, the fading sunlight catches their rugged contours, turning the sky ablaze in vivid oranges and pinks.

Beyond their geological intrigue, the Faraglioni carry a local mystique, linked to legends of sirens and ancient mariners navigating these waters. CP Charter’s intimate tour distinguishes itself by pairing this spectacle with a thoughtfully curated onboard aperitif, allowing guests to savor the moment in unparalleled privacy and style. This isn’t just a boat ride; it’s an immersion into the coastal atmosphere of Campania—where salt spray mingles with the scent of lemon groves from nearby cliffs.

The cruise departs from Castellammare di Stabia, a town reputed for its Roman-era thermal baths and rich maritime history, anchoring CP Charter’s reputation as a gateway to refined seaborne adventures. Offering a chance to disconnect from crowds and experience Capri’s hallmark scenes untouched, this trip appeals to visitors keen on refined yet accessible outdoor escapes. The company’s commitment to private, small-group experiences enhances both safety and exclusivity, making it a standout option for travelers seeking something beyond the usual island tours. This sunset sail captures both the majesty of Campania’s coastline and the serene rhythm of the sea, leaving an enduring impression of Italy’s coastal charm.
