In the heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island of Ventotene is a small jewel with an ancient flavor, with its pastel-colored houses, the Roman port carved into the tuff and the crystal clear waters that surround it.

At the end of September, the atmosphere lights up for the traditional feast of Santa Candida, patron saint of the island: three days of celebrations and breathtaking shows.

Imagine living this unique experience directly from the sea.

During the day, we'll sail through hidden coves and turquoise seabeds, with stops for regenerating swims and aperitifs at sunset.

You can explore the wonders of the seabed or simply relax lulled by the waves.

In the evening, we'll immerse ourselves in the magic of the festival: illuminations, music, the scents of local cuisine and the most awaited moment — the exciting fireworks display over the sea and the launch of the colorful hot air balloons, admired from a privileged perspective.

A sailing holiday in Ventotene for Santa Candida is much more than a journey: it is an authentic experience, between tradition, nature and freedom. Perfect for those who want to disconnect from the routine and experience the sea in an intimate and special way.

We will depart from the port of Nettuno, heading towards Ponza.

Our first stop, for a dip in Cala Core or the Natural Arch, where the white rock meets the emerald water, waiting for the sunset.

We will continue our journey the following day, to discover Ventotene.

A magical village, where it seems that time is suspended.

A place of history, culture and tradition.

Like the feast of Santa Candida who transforms the island into a "floating lantern".

The procession at sea, during which the statue of the Saint is carried on a fishing boat followed by a procession of illuminated boats.

It is a moment in which the boundary between land and water is cancelled: the island recognizes itself in its sea.

There will be two days dedicated to the most characteristic festival of these places.

We will discover the corners of the island and its sea, including Roman pools dug into the tuff and stacks for spectacular dives, enchanted seabeds where history mixes with unspoiled nature.

On the way back, we will stop in Palmarola.

A splinter of volcanic origin that emerges in the Tyrrhenian Sea as if the sea had forgotten to cover it completely. Its cliffs are not simply "white": they are layers of pumice compressed, folded and cut by the wind.

The sea that bathes it turns from turquoise to deep blue.

Arches, tunnels and caves become echo chambers where light filters in from above and bounces off the walls.

At certain times the reflection makes the water milky, like molten glass.

The points of interest will be: Spiaggia dei Vricci, Scoglio della Forcina, the Faraglioni di Mezzogiorno and the Cala del Francese.

All these places have only one thing in common: the magic of the colors of the water that surround them.

Around lunchtime we hoist the sails for the return to the Port of Nettuno.

Hoping that this adventure has given you precious moments to remember!
