IMPORTANT INFORMATION

START TIME:
The trip starts on Day 1 in Procida at 3pm.

ACCOMMODATION ONBOARD THIS SAILING YACHT
This trip is accommodated entirely on board a yacht of between 48ft to 52ft. A typical yacht for 8 travellers is equipped with 4 double share cabins, 2/3 shared bathrooms and 2 showers. Our boats are real yachts and this is a real sailing trip. Yachts are designed to keep sleeping areas to the absolute minimum of space, while maximising common areas as much as possible.

Rooms are allocated on arrival by our skipper according to group composition, which means it is not possible to reserve or guarantee any specific berth or cabin. Single passengers will be paired up with another passenger of the same gender, this will mean sharing a double cabin with a double mattress. Everyone including the skipper shares the bathrooms on board.

While not everyone may feel entirely comfortable living in such close quarters, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort from cramped living conditions is more than made up for by the whole experience.

PASSPORT DETAILS:
Please provide full passport details at time of booking including exact name as per passport, date of birth, nationality, issue and expiry dates as these are essential for booking services on this trip.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION:
Please note that the majority of our sailing trips start and/or finish at a marina or port. If you have pre-booked any additional accommodation through us, you will need to make your own way to the joining point on day 1 and from the finish point on the final day. We do not provide transfers between hotels and the port/marina. Please check the joining and finish point information in the Essential Trip Information for details.

SNORKELLING
There are many opportunities for snorkelling during this trip. Diving masks, snorkels and fins are provided onboard the yacht and are for use by all passengers. They are disinfected prior to use. Some customers may prefer to bring their own diving mask and snorkel from home and just use the fins available on board.

TRIP KITTY:
On this trip it's compulsory to contribute to a kitty of EUR90 per person. The kitty is an on-ground payment put into a central fund managed by travellers. It helps fund for breakfast and lunch on the boat and other small items such as ice, water, snacks and drinks. Travellers are responsible for the preparation of these meals onboard and to shop at port where supermarkets are often very close to the mooring. Kitty amounts are subject to change to reflect local price increases. On day 1, the skipper will talk through the kitty and how it will be managed (by yourself or fellow travellers) The kitty will be collected when you arrive at the welcome meeting or in stages throughout your trip.

Day 1: Procida - Ischia
Benvenuto! Welcome to Italy. Your trip begins in Procida – the tiny, colourful island off the coast of Naples. If you have spare time this morning, maybe explore the city, see the walled medieval town of Terra Murata or the charming port of Corricella. Start with a group meeting at 3 pm, then head to the local supermarket to buy supplies for your trip as a group. Sail the short distance to Ischia. In contrast to Procida, it’s the largest island in the Bay of Naples. Disembark and shake off the sea legs by exploring the famous Castello Aragonese, built in the 1400s. This impressive fortress sits suspended above the sea on a volcanic rock connected to Ischia. Tonight, ask your skipper for the best dinner spots and maybe head out with your group before spending your first night at sea.
Day 2: Ischia - Sorrento
Spend the first part of your day today in idyllic Ischia. Ischia is a volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples, known for its mineral-rich thermal waters and hot springs. Maybe you’d like to visit Spiaggia dei Pescatori – an idyllic beach nestled between Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte. This afternoon, set sail for Sorrento. This coastal town offers panoramic views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Once you arrive, it’ll be easy to see why this is a popular tourist destination in Italy. Tonight, you’ll have the opportunity to try one of Sorrento's well-known exports – Limoncello. This a liqueur produced from locally grown Femminello Santa Teresa lemons – yum!
Day 3: Sorrento - Pompeii
Today after breakfast, you’ll have the option to visit the abandoned city of Pompeii – a Roman settlement that was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted. Well-preserved buildings, artwork and pottery offer a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Romans. There’s also an option to hire a private guide for the ruins, as the site could easily be explored over an entire day (the additional cost of a private guide will be split between the group). Another possible activity is a visit to Mount Vesuvius National Park – if you choose this activity, you’ll have a half-hour local bus and a walk at 1200 m above sea level. Ensure you have warm clothes, a rain jacket and plenty of sun protection.
Day 4: Sorrento - Amalfi
This morning you’ll set sail for the Amalfi Coast, passing the Sirenusas (Gallos) archipelago to the east of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Some travellers may leave the trip when you arrive, and others may join. You’ll have a second welcome meeting at 1 pm and then head to the local supermarket with your new group to pick up supplies for the next leg. The afternoon is free to explore Amalfi. You could check out the medieval architecture of Sant'Andrea Cathedral and Cappuccini Convent. You may also like to walk along the narrow trails through olive groves, vineyards and ancient villages. While the trails are steep and full of stairs, there are spectacular views over the ocean at regular intervals. Why not join an optional dinner with your group this evening and feast on local seafood and gelato?
Day 5: Amalfi - Capri
Today, set sail to the Isle of Capri – once home to the magnificent holiday palaces of the Roman emperors. After you arrive in Capri, there is an optional excursion in a small motorboat to circumnavigate the Isle of Capri. View the island and its impressive cliffs and many grottos – including the green, white and famous Blue Grotto. To enter the Blue Grotto, you'll need to switch to a smaller rowboat, and although swimming in the grotto isn’t permitted, there’s a small platform close by where you can take a dip. After, there will be time to catch the bus to the Town of Capri or visit the hillside town of Anacapri. If you head there, it's worth visiting the Villa San Michele – the former home to a Swedish doctor that's built on the ruins of a Roman villa. Make your way to Capri Town by the Phoenician Steps (Scala Fenicia), a long, steep stairway linking the towns of Capri and Anacapri. A moderate fitness level and comfortable shoes are required if you decide to climb the steps.
Day 6: Forio, Ischia
This morning after breakfast, leave Capri and set sail toward Forio, in the north of Ischia Island. Along the way, stop for a swim in the idyllic waters and arrive in Forio in the afternoon. Tonight, you’re free to explore this little paradise on foot or partake in one of the optional activities your skipper recommends. As this is the most populated town on the island, there are lots of little restaurants and delicious spots to eat – your skipper will also know all the best dining options, so you can find exactly what you’re in the mood for.
Day 7: Procida
This morning after breakfast, you’ll sail back to Procida. Stop for a swim along the way, arriving by the afternoon. Enjoy a free afternoon to explore the beautiful town on foot – chase the perfect photo, people watch at a café or visit the Palazzo d’Avalos, the island’s former prison. Tonight, sail to the main marina, stopping along the way at Marina Della Carricella to see one of the most photographed parts of the island. Then perhaps enjoy an optional group dinner in the town of rabbit stew or seafood, accompanied by a couple of glasses of local wine and some Limoncello. What better way to cap off a great sailing trip?
Day 8: Procida
There are no activities planned for today, so you’re free to leave any time after breakfast. If you wish to spend more time here, just speak to your booking agent.
