Where We Sail

The coast,
the islands,
the secrets.

From the volcanic islands of the Gulf of Naples to the clifftop villages of the Amalfi Coast — every destination on our route has a story, a flavour, and a reason to stay longer than planned.

Procida
Procida
Gulf of Naples

The most authentic island in the Gulf. Marina Corricella, with its cascade of ochre and terracotta fishermen's houses, is one of the most cinematic harbours in Italy.

Do you know why the houses are painted in different colours? Ask your skipper.

⛓️
The Prison on the Hill
A king's jail · A future president

This island had a prison that the Bourbon kings built and Mussolini used. One of its most famous inmates went on to become the most beloved president in Italian history.

🐇
The Royal Hunt
Kings · Rabbits · A famous dish

The small island connected to Procida by a long bridge was once a private hunting reserve for the King. Those animals ended up changing the culinary history of a neighbouring island. Ask your skipper which one.

⚔️
Barbarossa & the Miracle
A pirate · A storm · A saint

In 1535, one of the most feared pirates in the Mediterranean laid siege to this island. The inhabitants had only one thing left to try. Ask your skipper what happened next.

🎺
The Cape That Was a Man
A god · A trumpet · A punishment

That headland on the mainland directly in front of you has a name. It used to belong to a man who made the mistake of challenging a god. He won the contest. That was the problem.

✦ The full story is told on board
Ischia
Ischia
Gulf of Naples

This island sits above a sleeping giant. The thermal waters, the tremors, the volcanic heat rising from the seabed — there is a mythological explanation your skipper will share when you are anchored above it.

The Aragonese Castle rising from the sea is one of the most dramatic sights in the Gulf. At Ischia Forio, the Poseidon thermal spa is one of the largest in Europe.

🌋
The Giant Beneath
Mythology · Earthquakes · Hot springs

This island moves. It trembles. Hot water rises from the ground for no apparent reason. Scientists have their explanation. But the people who have lived here for three thousand years have a different one — a giant, a god, and a punishment that never ended. You are sailing above the answer.

Capri
Capri
Gulf of Naples

Arriving by private yacht, with the boat moored at Marina Grande as your base, is the right way to see Capri. Lunch at the beach restaurant where legend says Ulysses encountered the Sirens. Next morning: Blue Grotto by ferry, or Villa San Michele in Anacapri.

Scoglio delle Sirene Villa San Michele
🌊
The Sirens' Rock
Ulysses · The birth of Naples

These rocks have a name. They have had it for three thousand years. What happened here — and the city that was born because of it — is a story your skipper will tell you when the moment is right.

The Fisherman's Table
A stranger, a meal, a secret

This was not always a restaurant. It was a hut. One day, a stranger arrived hungry and unannounced. The fisherman fed him. That meal changed everything. Ask your skipper who the stranger was.

🏛️
Tiberius & the Leap
The emperor who never left

The most powerful man in the world abandoned his empire and moved here. He never left. The cliff is still there — and still has his name. Couples, ask your skipper before you visit.

🔔
The Lucky Bell
The souvenir nobody understands

You will see it in every shop — in gold, in silver, in ceramic. Tourists buy it without knowing why. There is a reason this bell became the symbol of Capri. Ask your skipper.

⚓
The Kennedy Boat
A famous family · A famous vessel

There is a boat moored in these waters that once belonged to one of the most famous families in American history. It is still here. It still sails. Ask your skipper who owns it now.

Nerano
Nerano
Sorrento Peninsula · Optional lunch stop

A quiet fishing village at the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula — and the birthplace of one of the most copied pasta dishes in Italian cooking. We stop here for lunch at the restaurant that invented spaghetti alla Nerano in 1952.

🍝
The Recipe Nobody Will Give You
1952 · Maria Grazia · A secret

In 1952, a woman named Maria Grazia invented a pasta dish in this village. It became one of the most copied recipes in Italian cooking. The original recipe has never been written down. You will eat it today.

Amalfi
Amalfi
Amalfi Coast · Evening highlight

The town that gave the coast its name was once a maritime republic powerful enough to write the laws of the sea for the entire Mediterranean. Dinner here is at a hidden local trattoria — traditional food, artisanal wine, and sometimes Neapolitan songs.

🧭
The Man Who May Not Have Existed
A compass · A mystery · A monument

This city has a monument dedicated to a man who may never have lived. He is credited with one of the most important inventions in the history of navigation. The Chinese would disagree.

⚓
The Law of the Sea
A republic · A code · A legacy

For centuries, every ship in the Mediterranean sailed according to rules written in this city. Kings obeyed them. Pirates knew them. The document still exists.

📜
The Paper That Changed Everything
A secret · A trade route · A revolution

Before Amalfi, Europe had no paper. Documents were written on animal skin. Then this city learned a secret from the Arab traders who passed through its port. Ask your skipper what changed.

✦ The full story is told on board
Cetara
Cetara
Amalfi Coast · 4 and 7-day tours

The best-kept secret on the Amalfi Coast. Cetara has been producing colatura di alici — a prized anchovy sauce — for centuries. The Romans called it garum. Still made here in the traditional way.

Positano
Positano
Amalfi Coast · Final day visit

We moor on one of the designated buoys in the bay — the buoy operator runs a water taxi service to take you ashore whenever you are ready. Even the name of this town has a story. Ask your skipper.

🛶
The Town That Got Its Name by Accident
A storm · A painting · A word

The name of this town did not come from a king, a map, or a founder. It came from a storm, a boat, a painting of the Madonna, and a word shouted in dialect by people on a beach who refused to let go.

☀️
Where the Dolce Vita Was Born
Agnelli · Onassis · A secret village

Before it became famous, this was a secret. Agnelli knew it. Onassis knew it. A handful of the wealthiest people in the world discovered this village and kept it to themselves for as long as they could.

👡
The Sandals
A workshop · A famous client

There is a small workshop in this village making handmade sandals for decades. Among their clients: one of the most photographed women of the twentieth century. Her sandals are still made here, in the same way, by the same family.

Li Galli islands
Li Galli
Between Positano & Capri

Three small rocky islands rising from the sea between Positano and Capri. Visible from the boat on every journey along this stretch of coast. They look uninhabited. They are not.

🏝️
The Island That Dancers Loved
Nureyev · Massine · 400,000€ a week

These rocks have had only one house, and only a handful of owners. One of them was the greatest male dancer of the twentieth century. He bought it because of who had owned it before him — another dancer, arguably even more important. Today the island can be rented. Ask your skipper how much per week.
