Swim in leeward coves, snorkel at Vivara Island, see Corricella's fishing village from the water

A boat tour around Procida that circles the island's coastline with two stops for swimming and snorkeling in sheltered coves. The skipper narrates the history of landmarks like Palazzo D'Avalos and the Corricella fishing port, takes underwater photos and videos with a 5K camera, and provides masks, snorkels and fins on request. The tour runs roughly two hours, departs from Piazza Marina Grande five minutes from the ferry, and includes an onboard freshwater shower and cabin for changing.

The Experience

The boat leaves Piazza Marina Grande and heads out along Procida's coastline, passing Palazzo D'Avalos—a former prison perched on Terra Murata—and the Cave of the Marine Ox at Punta dei Monaci. The skipper narrates the history as you move through the water, and you can stop to swim and snorkel at either of these spots. The route then takes you past Corricella, the island's famous fishing port with its stacked pastel houses; the boat slows so you can photograph the scene from the water without fighting a crowded dock.

Two dedicated swimming and snorkeling stops anchor the tour. One happens near Vivara Island, a nature reserve where the water stays calm, and another at Postman's Beach in Pozzovecchio Bay—the filming location for the film Il Postino. Masks and snorkels are provided; fins are available on request at no extra cost. An onboard freshwater shower and changing cabin mean you can rinse off salt water and dry out between stops instead of waiting until the tour ends.

The skipper photographs your moments underwater using a 5K camera and shares the files with you after the tour wraps. You'll also pass Chiaiozza and its natural pool, Bourbon Palace, and Punta Pioppeto Lighthouse. The boat carries a fish identification table so you can name what you see below the surface. Children from age one ride along, and the tour suits all fitness levels.
