This experience, in a nutshell

We offer an unforgettable experience to discover the Pontine and Phlegraean islands, where natural beauty blends with culture, history and traditions.

We will visit the wild and uninhabited Palmarola, the splendid and worldly Ponza, the fascinating Ventotene and the varied and bewitching Ischia.

We will spend the days moving slowly from one bay to another, swimming in the crystal clear water, swimming in the most evocative spots, excursions with the tender, aperitifs at sunset and much more.

We know the islands very well and will take you to the right place at the right time!

We like to share our passion for the sea with guests and create a friendly, sincere and genuine atmosphere.

In the evening you can often go ashore to walk in the narrow streets of the picturesque villages and to discover the worldliness and nightlife of Ponza, the more intimate atmosphere of Ventotene and the liveliness of Forio.

Our boat is elegant, comfortable and safe, with many outdoor and indoor spaces that ensure comfort and privacy.

It has four double cabins for guests, one for the crew and three bathrooms.

There are two of us on board and we will do everything to make you spend an unforgettable holiday!

The Boat

The "Jeanneau 53" is part of Jeanneau's top of the range "Yacht" line, which differs from the traditional "Sun Odyssey" line. It is a splendid boat, 16 metres long and 4.80 metres wide, with 15 tonnes of weight, 5 of which are located in the bulb, with a generous sail plan and clean water lines. These characteristics give her marine qualities that also translate into comfort when sailing and stability when in the roadstead. The powerful 110 hp engine makes it possible to shorten travel times while the generous sail plan allows you to grind out miles without realising it. The Jeanneau 53 falls into the Blue Water Cruiser category, i.e. those boats suitable for long-distance sailing around the world. Ours is the version with five cabins (one of which is reserved for the crew) and three bathrooms. The first thing that strikes you as you step aboard is the size of the cockpit: very long, welcoming, with cushions everywhere, ideal for relaxing between one swim and the next and for sharing moments of conviviality (we have also added a removable table to guarantee a total of 10 comfortable seats for meals). Moving forward along the teak deck, one is astonished by the enormous space available for sunbathing. Going below deck, one appreciates the ample size of the saloon with its elegant opposing sofas, the table, the large C-shaped galley with a three-burner hob and espresso machine, lots of drawers and storage space: so much space that guarantees comfort and privacy. The cabins are distributed: two forward, with en-suite bathrooms, two larger, aft cabins and one with bunk beds. The third bathroom, larger than those in the bow, is located on the port side of the saloon. The water tanks have a capacity of a thousand litres, allowing "relaxed" water consumption during normal cruising. On board we also have Wi-Fi, a powerful soundbar and the inevitable coffee pod machine! The tender, essential equipment for enjoying your holiday, is a Highfield 310 with an aluminium hull and outboard motor. Two stand-up puddle boards complete the equipment available to guests. Air conditioning, available when in port.

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Marina di Nettuno.

Check-in: 3:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Marina di Nettuno.

Check-out: 5:00 PM

Leg 1

Sunday

Boarding is scheduled in the early afternoon from the tourist port of Nettuno; after having stowed the galley and taken possession of the cabins we will cast off the moorings and just outside the port, we will hoist the sails and head for Palmarola.

On the way you can relax listening to good music to recover from the fatigue of the journey, while the trolling rods will try to catch some nice fish.

The more active ones, on the other hand, will work to prepare a good aperitif.

With a little luck we will meet dolphins, often present in this stretch of sea.

The sunset over the sea accompanied by an inevitable toast will be another exciting moment.

Even the approach to the coast and the first anchorage always generates great emotion and looking around you will realize that you have arrived in a magical place.

We will spend the night in the roadstead on the east side of Palmarola, near the Spermaturo rock, under an incredibly starry sky with the only company of the song of the Diomedee!

Leg 2

Monday

As soon as you wake up you will be enchanted by the beauty of the landscape and the incredible transparency of the water that will invite you to take your first swim of the day and you will begin to appreciate the unparalleled advantages of the boat holiday.

The scent of hot croissants will bring you back on board!

During the day we will move to the most evocative spots of the island such as Cala del French, Cala delle Cattedrali, Cala Brigantino and Faraglioni di Mezzogiorno, between swimming in the crystal clear water and excursions by tender to better appreciate all the extraordinary beauty of the landscape. The laziest can stay on board and be lulled by the slow movement of the boat.

In the late afternoon we will move to Ponza to go ashore, immerse ourselves in the worldliness of the colorful village and have dinner in one of the many characteristic restaurants.

Leg 3

Tuesday

Salperemo per Ventotene che raggiungeremo in meno di tre ore di navigazione.

Il giro dell’isola in barca è breve ma imperdibile: sosteremo nella suggestiva baia di Parata Grande nel lato ovest dell’isola e di fronte a Cala Nave nel lato est.

Ventotene è un’area marina protetta e ciò consente agli appassionati di snorkeling di nuotare circondati da tranquilli banchi di pesce.

Scesi a terra rimarrete incantati dall’atmosfera dell’isola: il piccolo porto Romano, i portici scavati nel tufo, i brevi e ripidi tornanti che portano alla piccola piazza con la chiesa dedicata alla patrona Santa Candida, la breve salita che termina nella piazza principale, l’affaccio su cala Nave vi entreranno nel cuore lasciando un ricordo indelebile!

Alla sera avremo l’imbarazzo di scegliere tra i tanti locali e ristoranti dove cenare per poi concludere la serata allo storico locale Music Caffè “il gabbiano”.

Leg 4

Wednesday

Lasceremo Ventotene per raggiungere Ischia dopo tre ore circa di navigazione.

Ischia è la più grande delle isole Flegree ed è una rinomata località turistica ed un importante centro termale internazionale.

Ciononostante è riuscita a conservare integra la sua identità e le sue tradizioni: i colori, il cibo, gli odori, la solarità e l’accoglienza dei suoi abitanti ne fanno un’isola autentica.

Appena arrivati sosteremo per pranzo nella splendida baia di San Montano, di fronte al parco termale Negombo, oppure nella baia di Citara, di fronte al complesso termale Giardini di Poseidon.

Nel pomeriggio ci sposteremo a Ischia Ponte sotto il suggestivo e storico castello Aragonese, per poi raggiungere il porto di Forio dove pernotteremo per visitare il paese e cenare in uno dei tanti locali caratteristici.

Leg 5

Thursday

Before leaving Forio we will go to the "U'Paranziell" fish market in front of the port to buy fresh fish to make on the barbecue for dinner.

Then we will sail under full sail towards Ventotene where we will stop for a couple of hours for lunch before leaving for Ponza.

We will arrive in Ponza in time to take a swim in Cala del Core or Cala dell'Arco Naturale and then anchor in Cala del Frontone from where it is possible to reach Ponza Porto by taxi boat.

Leg 6

Friday

Giornata dedicata al versante ovest dell’isola;

inizieremo dalla famosa Chiaia di Luna e le grotte di Capo Bianco, incredibilmente suggestive da attraversare a nuoto, per proseguire con la baia di Lucia Rosa ed i sui faraglioni ed a seguire visiteremo le famose piscine di Cala Feola: in ciascuna baia ci fermeremo per fare il bagno, fare snorkeling, scoprire gli angoli più nascosti con il tender e divertirsi con la tavola sup.

Pernotteremo in rada a cala Feola, con possibilità di cenare nel caratteristico ristorante “La Marina”

Leg 7

Saturday

In the morning we will take the last baths in spots not yet seen such as in the wonderful Felci cove with emerald water and saffron-yellow rock.

In the late morning we will reluctantly set sail to return to Nettuno.

Disembarkation is scheduled for about 5 pm (balance different request of the participants).

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

E' stata la mia prima esperienza in barca a vela, Leonardo ed Elena sono stati dei comandanti stupendi, hanno cercato di accontentare ogni nostro desiderio portandoci nei posti più suggestivi delle isole. La barca è molto comoda e spaziosa, le cabine grandi e pulite.
