Today you’ll sail to the next island in the Pontine chain, beautiful Ponza 25 miles to the west. Let the Tyrrhenian slip away beneath your keel until Ponza grows larger in the distance.

Sant' Angelo to Marina Grande, Capri

A short cruise southeast from Ischia takes you to the glamorous island of Capri. Make for Marina Grande on the island’s north coast, where you’ll find a bustling marina filled with superyachts, pleasure boats and other playthings of the rich and famous. Capri is an island of spectacular scenery, with high cliffs, hidden grottos and unusual rock formations making the island ideal for hikers and explorers.

Discover Procida

End your journey in Procida, Italy’s hidden gem and 2022’s Capital of Culture. This small volcanic island enchants with its pastel-coloured fishing villages, lemon groves, and laid-back atmosphere. Wander the narrow streets of Marina Corricella, the island’s oldest fishing harbour, and enjoy a sunset aperitivo with views over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Don’t miss the panoramic climb to Terra Murata, a medieval village offering sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples.

Suggested lunch spots
Sail east to the town of Nerano on the Sorrentine Peninsula. With the Amalfi Coast so close to Capri it would be a shame not to explore the region while you’re here.”
