Imagine gliding across its cobalt-blue waters aboard one of our luxury yachts: a privileged approach to discovering the most secret bays and hidden wonders of this volcanic island, transforming your holiday into an unforgettable, personalized adventure.

Celebrated for its charm that captivates travelers in every season, Ischia offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and culture. Its crystal-clear waters lap against enchanting sandy beaches, while inland, lush gardens and ancient ruins tell centuries-old stories. Whether you are seeking a romantic escape, a rejuvenating experience for body and soul, or a family adventure, Ischia, when experienced from the sea, reveals its most authentic and seductive soul.

A Dive into History and Nature, with the Freedom of a Yacht

Ischia’s history is etched into its stones and landscapes. Imagine admiring the imposing Castello Aragonese from the sea, an ancient fortress rising majestically on a rocky islet connected to the village of Ischia Ponte by a picturesque causeway. This unique perspective, which can only be enjoyed from a boat, will grant you indelible memories. Inside the castle, a museum holds artifacts that narrate the island’s compelling past. With your yacht, you can then cruise towards landmarks like the Chiesa del Soccorso in Forio, a white icon perched above the sea, or explore the lush La Mortella Gardens, a botanical paradise hosting an extraordinary collection of exotic plants, easily reached after dropping anchor in a nearby cove.

The island is a true sanctuary for wellness enthusiasts. Its famous natural thermal springs, known since antiquity, offer a regenerating experience. The Negombo Thermal Park, nestled in the stunning Bay of San Montano, is an oasis of peace with outdoor thermal pools and a wide range of body treatments. Arriving at these locations by sea adds an unparalleled touch of exclusivity and tranquility to your day of relaxation.

For adventurous spirits, Ischia presents a wide array of outdoor activities. The clear waters invite you for refreshing swims, snorkeling sessions to discover colorful seabeds, and even windsurfing. Trekking enthusiasts can explore scenic trails, such as those leading to the Punta Imperatore Nature Reserve, perfect for admiring the local flora and fauna, with the comfort of returning to your yacht for a well-deserved rest.

Enchanted Bays and Authentic Flavors: The Ischian Experience by Sea

Ischia is dotted with beaches and bays that look as if they were painted. Aboard your yacht, you will have the privilege of discovering true corners of paradise:

• The Bay of Sorgeto, famous for its hot thermal waters that flow directly into the sea, creating natural pools where you can relax even in the off-season.
• The Citara Beach, with its fine golden sand, watched over by the lush Poseidon Gardens.
• The wide Bay of San Montano, a crescent of soft sand protected by green headlands, with calm, crystal-clear waters.
• Maronti Beach, the largest on the island, a long stretch of sun-kissed sand where you can also witness the curious tradition of cooking food, like “pollo alla Fumarola” (chicken cooked with geothermal heat), using the steam from the sands.

And when you feel hungry, Ischia’s cuisine will win you over. Imagine savoring local delicacies directly on board, prepared by our crew, or stepping ashore to discover the quaint traditional restaurants that dot the coast. Don’t miss the chance to taste “coniglio all’ischitana” (a traditional rabbit stew), spaghetti with fresh clams, the savory “pizza di scarola” (escarole pizza), or the famous “Zingara ischitana“, a rich and tasty grilled sandwich. Accompany it all with local wines, like the fresh Biancolella or the fragrant Forastera, for a complete gastronomic experience.
