Naples & Amalfi Coast by Private Yacht

Meet your private driver and English speaking guide at the hotel for a drive to visit the nearly 2,000 year old ancient ruins of Pompeii. Pompeii was buried in one of the most disastrous volcanic eruptions in history, destroyed by the still-active Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The city had been forgotten until it was accidentally rediscovered in the 18th century. The ruins of the dead city are deeply moving, still casting visitors into deep silence. You'll have an impressive view of Vesuvius from the ruins of Pompeii, as you walk around the site. Return to your hotel. (Entrance fee to Pompeii included).

Meet your private transportation and driver for a port transfer.

Welcome aboard!

Take a moment to get settled in to your luxurious cabin, and join the captain and hostess for a tour of the ship, prior to departure. You'll overnight on the yacht in the Procida area tonight.

Port charges are included in your multi-day yacht charter.

Sail to the island of Ischia, the 'green' island, the most beautiful and the largest island in the Gulf of Naples where you will decide together with your captain on one or more hidden bays where you can enjoy nice swims in the crystal clear waters. The harbor is well sheltered and surrounded by pretty houses, here also is the trading part of the town and another important area is that near the "Castello Aragonese" which is called "Ischia Ponte", a picturesque ancient fishing village. Ischia's harbour was originally the crater of a volcano now extinct. Ischia is as well known for its numerous thermal and thermo-mineral springs, result of the island’s volcanic origins. The healing properties of these waters have been known since the Roman times, and it is therefore highly recommend allowing the crew to organize a nice relaxing late afternoon treatment at the spa for complete relaxation!

After breakfast, set sail for the island of Capri arriving in time for lunch. This island has had as residents Emperor Augustus of Rome, his successor Tiberius with his reputed orgies, as well as many Greeks. From the Blue Grotto to Axel Munthe’s Villa San Michelle, there is plenty to see. The island is famous for its vodka-like Limoncello and lemon-scented perfume. The "heart" of Capri is Piazza Umberto I; a small, closed-off square resembling a courtyard. Around the square there is the ''Torre dell'Orologio'', or Clock Tower, the municipal offices, shops and cafes, and to the left, the San Stefano church.

With your vessel at your complete disposal, your captain will sail you to various hidden areas today, only reachable by boat, for great swimming. Now this is secluded luxury.

Set sail during lunch for the small town of Amalfi where you can easily spend an afternoon exploring the narrow white alleyways and browsing in the shops for souvenirs – including every variation on the famous local lemon products. You can sample the Amalfitana specialities, such as the strong limoncello. There are plenty of nice cafes where you can rest with a drink, eating pastries and watching the world go by. A stroll along the sea front is another pleasant diversion. The town's harbour is to the right as you face the sea, and past the public ferry ports there is a marina where luxury yachts rub shoulders with working fishing vessels laden with nets. Walking out along one of the breakwaters provides good photo opportunities back towards the town centre. When you're finished admiring Amalfi's charms, you can take a stroll up the valley through lemon groves and old paper mills. For keen walkers, the steep mountainsides offer many challenging walks. Prior to arriving in Amalfi, your captain will anchor off one or more nice hidden bays so that you can enjoy a nice refreshing swim

Set sail in the moring towards Positano with anchoring off one or more bays for a refreshing swim & lunch on board prior to arriving in the afternoon in Positano. Positano is located in the Campania region of Italy, on the Amalfi Coast. Once a wealthy maritime power, it began the last century as a fishing settlement, and ended it as a popular, and rather chi-chi resort, famous for its hotels and boutiques as well as for the winding stairways that connect the town and the towering cliffs above. Every inch of land is prized; buildings are stacked up one above the other on the steep slopes and open areas are intensively cultivated with fruit and vegetables thriving in the fertile volcanic soil. The mountainous interior of the peninsula rises above the town, and Positano boasts one of the world's few "pierced" mountains; a giant shoulder of rock with a hole punched through it!

Depart from Positano and set sail back toward Naples, enjoying the last moments of your luxurious yacht experience.

Back in Naples, you'll disembark from the yacht and bid farewell to your captain and crew.

Enjoy a private airport transfer with a private vehicle and professional driver.
