    The departure point is Capri’s charming port, the lively center of the island. From here, your boat departs on a scenic cruise toward Ischia. Along the way, cliffs and clear waters alternate before the distinctive silhouette of the Aragonese Castle appears on the horizon—the timeless symbol and entrance to the Green Island. If you wish, you can walk inside the fortress, a guardian of centuries of history, panoramic gardens, and stunning views of the Gulf of Naples. This optional visit will add a touch of culture and charm to your tour before continuing your cruise to explore the island’s other wonders.

  • Tour around Ischia

    The boat will first take you to lively San Pietro Beach, where colorful umbrellas and seaside life create a festive atmosphere. Then, almost suddenly, the pace slows as you glide into the peaceful Bay of San Montano: a hidden refuge where the hills embrace the sea and the air is filled with the scent of salt. It feels like a place suspended in time, perfect for being cradled by the island’s pure beauty.

    The journey continues toward the imposing Punta Imperatore, a rocky sentinel standing guard over the sea, and then to the magical Bay of Sorgeto, an enchanted spot where natural hot springs gently flow into the sea. Taking a dip in these warm waters is a paradisiacal experience.

    Back on board, your route will take you to the charming village of Sant’Angelo, a little gem straight out of a postcard: pastel-colored houses reflected in the water, cozy boutiques, and a tiny islet connected by a narrow strip of sand. Not far away, the wide Maronti Bay unfolds, with its golden stretch of sand and hot springs bubbling right at the shoreline. The island tour ends at Cartaromana, where your captain will take you ashore to an exclusive restaurant: Il Giardino Eden.

  • Traditional lunch with a view of the Aragonese Castle

    At this restaurant, lunch becomes an unforgettable experience: tables overlooking the sea offer a one-of-a-kind view of the Aragonese Castle, while the sea breeze enhances the aromas of Mediterranean cuisine. Here, you can savor the island’s typical dishes such as Ischian-style rabbit or seafood puttanesca ziti—intense flavors best paired with the island’s wine, Biancolella d’Ischia.
