CRUISES

FROM NAPLES TO CAPRI

From Roman emperors to international jet-setters: the island of Capri remains an absolute myth. Reachable from Naples in just 50 minutes, this is where your cruise will begin. First stop at Grotta Bianca and immediately after the Faraglioni. We will cross Stella, Faraglione di Mezzo: legend has it that it brings luck to lovers who kiss under the arch… they will stay together forever! After Marina Piccola, we will head towards the Green Grotto and then we will push on to Punta Carena lighthouse. You will be able to enjoy every corner of the Capri coast in total relax and choose whether to visit the Blue Grotto on the itinerary of the first or second day!

For a stellar gastronomic experience choose Il Riccio and let yourself be seduced by the “room of temptations”. In the afternoon, your yacht will dock in the touristic port of Capri: the right time to go up to the Piazzetta for a spritz and a shopping trip before dinner.

We recommend dining at:

• Da Paolino Lemon Trees
• Aurora Capri 
• Villa Margherita

Don’t miss our Giardino Mediterraneo, for a relaxing after-dinner drink! An ancient lemon grove transformed into a glamorous, charming space, a real oasis just a few steps from the famous piazzetta of Capri. With an ad hoc drink list – including the signature cocktails Tritone, Tiberius and Garden Smash or Mare & Tonic made of course with Gin Mare Capri, partner of the project – the Giardino Mediterraneo is the perfect place to stop for a sea view Caprese light lunch or for an exceptional sunset aperitif.

You will stay over on the first and second nights in the exclusive Marina of Capri.

CAPRI AND ANACAPRI

The island of Capri has two municipalities: Capri and Anacapri. After a tasty breakfast on board, we will accompany you to discover the center of Capri with a walk to the Gardens of Augustus to take photos and discover Via Krupp, the winding street carved into the rock at the beginning of the 20th century. You will have time to collect exceptional souvenirs – the perfumes of Carthusia, the clothes of Laboratorio Capri and the tailor-made Capri sandals of Canfora – then by taxi to the municipality “on top”, where you can choose whether to take a chairlift ride and reach Monte Solaro, to admire an unparalleled panorama, or stroll through the narrow streets of the centre, among artisan shops, churches, and museums. Not to be missed: Villa San Michele, Axel Munthe’s retreat, now a house museum. The afternoon? We will return to the sea between dives and swims in the blue waters of Capri.

FROM CAPRI TO POSITANO

In Positano you will be breathless in front of the pyramid of colorful houses that climb between the rocks and the splendid majolica dome of the church of Santa Maria Assunta. Positano is famous for its handcrafted clothing and shoe shops: here you can buy fine white linen dresses or handmade sandals in one of the many shops in the center.

For lunch:

• The romantic restaurant of Villa Tre Ville
• A lunch or dinner with a view of Positano at La Sponda, restaurant of the Le Sirenuse hotel
• Michelin-starred restaurant Zass at Il San Pietro Hotel

We recommend enjoying the sunset on the boat with a glass of champagne by Li Galli. You can spend your third night offshore to sleep lulled by the sea.

FROM POSITANO TO AMALFI AND RAVELLO

We will leave the enchanting Positano in the morning to sail towards Conca de Marini with the typical lemon terraces and one of the 30 Saracen watchtowers near the Isca rock. We will move to Praiano and then to Furore, the famous fjord of Italy. Once in Amalfi, you can explore the city center, visit the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea and taste a traditional dessert – the Lemon “Deliziosa” at Pasticceria Pansa, one of the oldest pastry shops in Amalfi. You can also walk to the magnificent Ravello and its historic homes: Villa Rufolo, which hosts the famous Ravello Festival musical event every year, and Villa Cimbrone, with its Infinity Terrace.

We recommend these restaurants in Amalfi and Ravello:

• La Caravella 
• Villa Maria – Where Nonna Orsola rules the kitchen 
• Terrazza Duomo

You will stay over on the fourth and fifth night in the Amalfi port.

FROM AMALFI TO CETARA AND VIETRI SUL MARE

Today we’ll discover the lesser known but still beautiful spots along the Amalfi Coast. Vietri sul Mare is the first of the 13 villages strung along the coast like pearls. This village is in a protected spot along the bay and is famous across the globe for its unique style of hand painted ceramics, production dated to the 15th century.

SORRENTO

Sorrento is located strategically to discover some of the most beautiful and famous destinations in the area, including the archaeological site of Pompeii (40 minutes by car). Often identified as the “Land of the Mermaids”, Sorrento offers many options for local products shopping and spectacular views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, to be admired from one of these panoramic terraces:

​

• Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, in the city center 
• Hotel Mediterraneo, 5 minutes outside the center
• Relais Blu, 30 minutes outside the center 

Sorrento is also just 30 minutes from two of the highest rated Michelin-star restaurants along the coast. Be sure to book lunch or dinner at:

• Quattro Passi, Nerano 
• Don Alfonso 1890, Sant’Agata dei Golfi

FROM SORRENTO TO ISCHIA AND PROCIDA

We will leave for Ischia to spend a whole day of relax! Procida is a small fishing island with splendid sandy beaches and colorful houses; Ischia, on the other hand, has been famous for centuries for its thermal water springs already praised by the poet Virgil. Before leaving, is worth visiting the Aragonese Castle: either by sea or by reaching it along the small strip of land that connects it to the island – a truly unique experience.

Our recommended lunch or dinner restaurants:

– Da Nicola alle Fumarole 

– Giardino Eden 

– Il Guarracino
