The experience

The day starts at Forio port with a welcome drink as you board the Motor Yacht Rocca Corsa. The boat heads west along the coast toward Sorgeto, then anchors for a swim stop where you can enter the water using the boat's ladder. From there the route passes the Bay of San Pancrazio and reaches the Grotta dell'Amore, the Cave of Love, a natural rock formation where the water plays light through the opening. You swim here for free, followed by crew if you want, then return to the boat.

Lunch arrives once you're back on deck: a seafood appetizer, a fish-based first course, bread, wine, water and coffee, all included. The boat continues past Lacco Ameno, where you'll see the Fungo: a massive tuff rock that broke loose from Mount Epomeo in ancient times and rolled into the sea, shaped by wind and waves into a natural monument. The captain offers a fresh puff pastry baked on board with a glass of local limoncello. The afternoon includes the Bay of Citara with its San Francesco beach, the jagged rocks of Punta Chiarito, Ischia Ponte and the Bay of San Montano before the return to Forio.

The Rocca Corsa is built for a full day on the water: a sundeck with deck chairs, a shaded lounge with upholstered sofas, double bathrooms, an MP3 stereo system and unlimited water throughout. Soda and pop are available, and the boat carries everything needed for safe water entry and swimming. The seven- to eight-hour tour wraps up back at the port of departure.
