The Experience
The day starts from Sorrento Cruise Port or Positano, depending on which you choose at checkout. The Klase 50 HT yacht carries your group of up to 12 and heads toward Ischia, the Green Island. Your first stop is Maronti Beach, the longest on the island at almost 3 kilometers, where you can swim or simply take in the scale of it. From there the boat moves to the Green Cave, a natural cavity carved into the rock where light bouncing off the water turns everything shades of green — this is where most people spend time in the water with snorkeling gear, which is provided.
Next comes the Aragonese Castle, a fortress standing on a huge rock connected to the island by a 220-meter bridge. You see it from the water, which gives you a perspective most visitors miss. After that, the boat pulls into Ischia's port and you get free time to wander the town on your own, or ride one of the iconic three-wheeled Apecars if you want a guided loop through the main sights without leaving the island.
The route then turns toward Procida. On the way, you pass Vivara, a crescent-shaped uninhabited islet connected by a footbridge and declared a State Nature Reserve in 2002, with clear water and marine plants visible from the boat. Then comes Terra Murata, the oldest settlement, which you see from the sea — it holds the former prison of Palazzo d'Avalos and the Abbey of San Michele. The final stop is Marina di Corricella, the symbol of Procida, a village of interlocking arches, domes and multicolored facades built right into the water. You have free time to explore Procida on land, then the boat returns to Sorrento with a limoncello tasting as you sail back. Snacks, cold drinks, wine, prosecco and beer are on board throughout.

Can I customize the stops and timing on this yacht tour?
Yes. This is a private excursion, so you choose your departure time and which port to leave from — Sorrento or Positano — and the itinerary can be adjusted to suit your group's interests.
What is the Green Cave and why is it a good swimming stop?
The Green Cave is a natural rock cavity on Ischia where light reflecting off the water creates shades of green throughout the interior. It's the main snorkeling spot on the tour, with calm water and visibility that makes it ideal for swimming and exploring underwater.
How much free time do I get to explore Ischia and Procida on foot?
You have free time at Ischia's port to walk around town or take a three-wheeled Apecar tour, and separate free time in Procida to explore Marina di Corricella and the rest of the island at your own pace. The exact duration depends on the group's preferences and the customized itinerary.
What's included in the price?
The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off from Sorrento hotels, an English-speaking professional skipper, snorkeling equipment, beach towels, snacks, bottled water, wine, prosecco, beer, and a limoncello tasting on the return. Fuel is covered.
What is the Aragonese Castle and can I visit it?
The Aragonese Castle is a majestic fortress on a huge rock that's the symbol of Ischia. You see it from the boat during the tour; the main viewing is from the water rather than a land visit to the castle itself.
How many people can fit on the yacht?
The Klase 50 HT holds a maximum of 12 passengers, so your group stays private and the boat never mixes with other bookings.
