Amalfi Coast Sailing Journey

Arrive in Naples and transfer privately to your hotel overlooking the Bay of Naples. With Mount Vesuvius rising across the water and the historic city stretching below, the setting introduces the dramatic landscapes that define this region.

The evening is left intentionally relaxed before your sailing journey begins tomorrow. Naples is one of Italy’s great food cities, and we’ll recommend authentic local restaurants where traditional Neapolitan cooking can be enjoyed in its most atmospheric settings.

Transfer privately to the marina in Salerno where you’ll meet your captain and crew and board your private yacht. After settling into your cabins and becoming familiar with life on board, begin sailing along the Amalfi Coast.

Lunch is prepared on board and served al fresco on deck as the coastline unfolds — cliffs, terraced lemon groves and pastel villages rising dramatically from the sea. Arrive in Positano in the afternoon, approaching from the water where the village’s colourful houses cascade down towards the beach.

Sail into the Bay of Naples before heading ashore to explore Pompeii with a private guide. Preserved beneath volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the ancient city offers extraordinary insight into Roman life.

Return to the yacht for a relaxed afternoon sailing or swimming before dinner ashore.

Sail to Procida, often considered the most authentic island in the Bay of Naples. Pastel houses cluster around Marina Corricella, where fishing boats line the harbour and small seafood restaurants overlook the water.

Approaching by yacht allows time to anchor in quieter waters before heading ashore — perfect for a swim in the clear bays surrounding the island, away from the busier anchorages.

A short sail brings you to Ischia, known for its lush vegetation and volcanic landscapes.

Spend time exploring the island or visiting one of its renowned thermal spa gardens.

Arrive at Capri, one of the Mediterranean’s most iconic islands. Cruise along Capri’s dramatic coastline, where hidden grottoes and luminous caves appear beneath the cliffs. Your captain can guide you to the famed Blue Grotto, where sunlight transforms the water into a striking electric blue.

Later, step ashore to explore the Gardens of Augustus or wander Capri’s elegant piazzas before returning to the yacht as the island quiets in the evening.

Depart Capri and sail east along one of the most celebrated stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. From the water, the full drama of the Amalfi Coast becomes clear — sheer cliffs rising above the sea, terraced lemon groves clinging to the hillsides and small villages appearing between rocky headlands.

Pause along the way to anchor beneath the cliffs for a swim in the clear coastal waters before continuing towards Amalfi. Once a powerful maritime republic, the town remains one of the coast’s historic centres, its cathedral and maze of narrow alleyways offering plenty to explore.

Enjoy a relaxed morning in Amalfi before setting sail once more along the coastline. This final stretch offers a quieter perspective of the coast — villages set above the water and the hills of Campania rising behind them.

Lunch is served on board as the yacht glides towards Salerno, where the harbour marks the end of your sailing journey. The final evening is yours to enjoy on board or ashore along Salerno’s lively seafront promenade.

After breakfast on board, disembark your yacht in Salerno. A private transfer will bring you to Naples Airport for your onward journey home.
