  • Private Boat Tour Itinerary in Ischia

    Your exclusive day starts in Sorrento at the charming Marina Piccola port, where the captain and crew will welcome you aboard one of our luxury boats. After a quick boarding process, we’ll begin the cruise across the Gulf of Naples.

    You’ll sail for about an hour, taking in views of Mount Vesuvius, the tuff cliffs of the Sorrento Coast, and the elegant outline of Capri. Then, like a vision from the sea, the unmistakable silhouette of the Aragonese Castle will come into view, ready to welcome you. Here, if you wish, you can disembark to get a closer look at the ancient fortress and enjoy a privileged view of Ischia and the Gulf of Naples.

  • Tour Around Ischia and Natural Thermal Springs

    Back on course, we’ll sail past the lively San Pietro Beach with its vibrant colors until we slowly reach San Montano Bay. This secluded cove is where the sea meets the smooth curves of Ischia’s hills, creating a dreamlike landscape. Here, time seems to slow down, and every breath carries the scent of tranquility and untouched beauty.
    The tour proceeds to the island’s westernmost point: Punta Imperatore, a rugged headland standing tall from the sea. Next stop: one of Ischia’s most famous spots – Baia di Sorgeto. Here, natural hot springs gently mix with the sea, transforming this part of the coast into a unique wellness sanctuary. You can enjoy a regenerating bath in its warm, healing waters—a magical moment of pure relaxation.
    Once back on board, the boat will take you to one of Ischia’s most exclusive and charming spots: Sant’Angelo. This small, elegant village is reflected in the sea with its pastel-colored houses and a tiny islet connected to the mainland by a thin sandbar. Not far away, the coast opens up to the expansive and scenic Baia dei Maronti, a golden beach that stretches over three kilometers, lined by lush green hills and volcanic cliffs.
    The sea here is deep and crystal clear, and the thermal springs bubbling along the shoreline make this a true paradise for lovers of natural wellness.
    Our tour around the island ends at the picturesque Cartaromana Bay before disembarking at the exclusive Giardino Eden restaurant.

  • Mediterranean Lunch with a Castle View

    What better way to end your day than with a seaside lunch, kissed by the sea breeze and overlooking the majestic Aragonese Castle?
    It’s a moment of pure pleasure, where the island’s authentic flavors meet breathtaking scenery, turning every bite into a lasting memory.
    Here you can enjoy Mediterranean dishes such as pasta alla puttanesca di mare (seafood pasta with olives, capers, and tomato), parmigiana di melanzane (eggplant parmigiana), or the island’s signature dish: coniglio all’ischitana (Ischian-style rabbit). To make the experience even more memorable, pair your meal with one of Ischia’s iconic wines: Biancolella d’Ischia. Fresh, savory, with notes of citrus and aromatic herbs—simply excellent.

Final Swim Stop and Return to Sorrento

Back on board, if there’s still time, you can take one last dip in the island’s waters before cruising back to Sorrento, with the sun slowly setting over the Gulf’s skyline.

Adventure and Relaxation on the Amalfi Coast We had an amazing time spending a day on the water seeing the Amalfi Coast. Our captain, Giovanni, was fantastic! Not only as a captain but also in providing the history of the area. An unforgettable day balancing adventure and relaxation! We would absolutely do it again.

Magical Boat Experience The most memorable experience! We were picked up and dropped off directly from our hotel. The communication was the best we’ve ever experienced from a “tour” company. From booking, pick up, drop off, and day of experience. Our Captain Giovanni was knowledgeable, patient, a great captain, and made the day perfect! If I could give 10 stars I would! We experienced everything we imagined and some additional surprises.

An Extraordinary Experience – Don’t Miss Restart Boat & Yacht! An Extraordinary Experience – Don’t Miss Restart Boat & Yacht! Superior service in every way! We spent two unforgettable days aboard the Santa Rosa with Captain Giovanni, exploring Capri and the Amalfi Coast, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Giovanni made our time on the water an extraordinary experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and so much fun to spend the day with. From the beautiful coastline and incredible views to swimming from the boat, every detail made the experience special. Bianca was equally wonderful from the very beginning. She was incredibly responsive and always answered our questions immediately, making the entire booking process easy and seamless. If you are planning to visit Capri or the Amalfi Coast, do not miss the opportunity to book with Restart Boat & Yacht. The Santa Rosa was beautiful, the service was exceptional, and Giovanni made our two days aboard something our family will always remember. We cannot recommend Giovanni, Bianca, and Restart Boat & Yacht highly enough. Five stars in every way!

Private Sorrento Boat Tour…Best day The best day we had in Sorrento. Giuseppe picked us up at our villa right on time. He made the car transfer like a tour to the marina. Antonino, our captain, spoke fantastic English and drove the boat like a pro. Pointing out views and towns along the way to Capri. He made us reservations at a beautiful seaside restaurant and waited while we explored the town. The boat was fully stocked with drinks, snacks and towels and was a comfortable ride even over some big waves. Highly recommend if you’re anywhere near the Amalfi Coast. Truly the best way to see all the beauty. Special shout out to Bianca, who helped us with all the details and communications… and the fast ride back to our villa. You are all stars

The Perfect Day At Sea What a wonderful day at sea! Our captain Giovanni and assistant Emilio made our boat ride memorable. Giovanni is a great and safe driver. Emilio told us interesting stories about the landmarks we passed. They took us to beautiful spots to jump in and swim. They went above and beyond helping us order dinner to pick up so we could take it to our villa. We had 12 people on the 42' Aprea. It was beautiful. I highly recommend Restart Boat tours and especially Giovanni and Emilio.

Experience of a lifetime! We had one of the best days ever at sea with Giovanni on the Lancia Aprea - 42! We did the tour from Sorrento to Capri and never wanted it to end. The tour was a great mix of sightseeing and fun. Giovanni knew a lot about the area and told us a lot about the different caves and sights we were seeing. The most fun we had was swimming in the Med of course. The water was perfect and he took us to all the best spots. The boat was equipped with everything we needed. Drinks, music and water toys. I can’t wait to do this again next year.

A memorable way to experience Capri We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Restart Boat and Yacht on our private full-day cruise around the island of Capri. The day was everything we hoped it would be, and having the boat to ourselves made it such a special and relaxing way to experience Capri from the water. We were able to see everything that was included on the itinerary with the exception of the Blue Grotto, which was completely out of the crew’s control due to the high tide. Vincenzo and Alessio were amazing throughout the entire day. They were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. We learned so much about Capri and its coastline, and it was obvious that they genuinely cared about making our day memorable. We also stopped at Marina Piccola for lunch at Mare by Casa Tua, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect break in an already incredible day. If you’re looking for a private boat experience around Capri, we highly recommend Restart Boat and Yacht. Beautiful scenery, a wonderful boat, and an exceptional crew. We would absolutely book with them again!

Wonderful Experience Our experience was fantastic! From the very moment they picked us up to visit Pompeii to the sad moment they dropped us off at the end of the day, we had nothing but a great experience. Booking the experience was very easy and they were very patience as I kept changing my mind about how to make the day perfect for my family. Their input was greatly appreciated. The time on the water was just what we wanted! Our captain was so much fun and made the day even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great way to experience the Italian coast, and get some time in the water, this is the company for you.

Fantastic Day on the Water for the Whole Family Great day on the water with Nicola, who was amazing. We had grandparents with us as well as a 7- and 10-year-old, and overall it was a great experience for everyone. Nicola was really helpful in guiding us on the best places to stop for a swim and where to have lunch so we could maximize our time on the water. The boat was high quality and very well stocked with drinks, snacks, plenty of towels and even goggles. Our lunch stop was at Nerano, where a free taxi boat takes you from the boat to shore. The company operating the taxi boat escorts you to their restaurant, with the expectation that you'll eat there. We went to Maria Grazia, which was decent. The food was all pretty good, although not the cheapest, and it was extremely busy given the prime location, so service was a little slow and the lunch stop ended up taking longer than expected. The pick-up and drop-off from our accommodation in Massa Lubrense was also very smooth and made the experience that much better, especially at the end of a hot day when everyone was ready to get home. Their van couldn't make it up our very narrow road, so we had to walk a little to meet them, but all in all it worked out really well. Highly recommend!

An amazing experience! We had an amazing day with Giovanni. He took us to the blue grotto, green grotto, coral grotto and other smaller ones. He gave us plenty of time to swim around, helped get my son some fishing time, and took us to our lunch reservation. Bianca was beyond amazing from start to finish! She was open, honest, fair, accommodating, and patient (I know I can be annoying). She helped arrange everything and gave me a fair price for our full day tour on a luxury yacht. She booked our lunch reservation at Lo Scoglio and just made the whole process easy.

Great day Our experience was overall amazing. The rout was beautiful and the water was perfect. Our tour guide, Giovanni A, brought great energy and was very positive and skilled behind the wheel. He brought us to the coolest spots while keeping us on track and most importantly safe. This experience was better than imagined and Giovanni made this a reality.

Perfect day, perfect service Giovanni was our driver. We had a blast. He helped me with my proposal, I can’t say enough good things. I told him our priorities and he made the local timing decisions to accomplish everything we wanted. And he advised us perfectly on all the local attractions and even suggestions for the rest of our trip. The whole trip was perfect .
