YOUR JOURNEY
275 nautical miles across 7 extraordinary destinations. This is a sample itinerary — your captain will tailor every detail to your preferences.

Day 1
Arrive at Naples International Airport, where a private transfer will whisk you away to the Marina Molo Luise, your embarkation point. Step aboard your luxurious private yacht, where the crew awaits with a warm welcome and refreshing cocktails. Settle into your stateroom and familiarize yourself with the vessel that will be your home for the next seven days. As the yacht departs from the bustling port of Naples, enjoy a light lunch on the aft deck, taking in the panoramic views of the city and the majestic Mount Vesuvius.
This afternoon is dedicated to a journey back in time with a private guided tour of Pompeii. A comfortable tender will take you ashore, where a luxury vehicle will be waiting to transport you to the world's most well-preserved ancient city. Walk through the cobbled streets, explore the villas, temples, and amphitheaters, and gain a unique insight into Roman life before the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Your expert guide will bring the city to life with stories and historical facts, making this an unforgettable experience.
As the sun begins to set, your yacht will cruise towards the enchanting town of Sorrento, perched on a cliff overlooking the Bay of Naples. Anchor in the serene waters of Marina Piccola and prepare for an exquisite dining experience. For dinner, we recommend Ristorante Bagni Delfino, a celebrated seafood restaurant with stunning views of the water. Enjoy the fresh catch of the day, paired with a fine Italian wine, as you soak in the magical atmosphere of Sorrento by night.

Day 2
Awaken to the gentle lapping of waves and the stunning scenery of the Sorrento coastline. After a leisurely breakfast on deck, the yacht will weigh anchor and cruise towards the legendary island of Capri. Your first stop is the world-famous Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), a sea cave that is flooded with a brilliant blue or emerald light. A small wooden rowboat will take you through the narrow opening to witness this magical natural wonder.
After the Blue Grotto, your yacht will anchor at Marina Piccola, on the south side of the island. Go ashore and take the funicular up to Capri town, a chic and glamorous hub of designer boutiques, art galleries, and bustling cafes. Stroll through the Piazzetta, the heart of the island's social life, and enjoy some people-watching. For a dose of history and breathtaking views, take a taxi up to Villa Jovis, the spectacular clifftop palace of the Roman Emperor Tiberius.
As evening approaches, return to your yacht to dress for a glamorous night out. For dinner, we recommend Ristorante Il Geranio, which offers not only exquisite Mediterranean cuisine but also panoramic views of the Faraglioni rocks. After dinner, you can enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Capri, with its stylish bars and clubs, or simply relax on board your yacht under the stars.

Day 3
Enjoy a delicious breakfast with views of the Faraglioni rocks before the yacht cruises to the iconic village of Positano. The sight of the colorful houses cascading down the cliffside to the sea is one of the most famous in the world. Anchor off the main beach, Spiaggia Grande, and spend the morning exploring the town's steep, narrow streets, browsing the chic boutiques, and admiring the local art galleries.
For lunch, we recommend Da Adolfo, a legendary restaurant located in a secluded cove, accessible only by boat. A small boat with a red fish sign will pick you up from the main pier. Enjoy simple, delicious local dishes with your feet in the sand. After lunch, spend the afternoon at leisure. You can relax on the beach, take a swim in the turquoise waters, or try some of the water toys from your yacht.
As the sun sets, Positano transforms into a magical, romantic destination. Enjoy cocktails on the sundeck of your yacht before heading ashore for dinner. We suggest La Sponda, the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Le Sirenuse hotel, famous for its romantic atmosphere with 400 candles lit every evening and its exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. After dinner, take a romantic stroll along the beach before returning to your yacht.

Day 4
After breakfast, a short cruise will take you to the historic town of Amalfi, the heart of the coastline that bears its name. Once a powerful maritime republic, Amalfi is now a charming town with a rich history. Visit the magnificent Amalfi Cathedral (Duomo di Sant'Andrea), with its impressive staircase and beautiful Arab-Norman architecture. Explore the narrow medieval streets and alleyways, and perhaps visit the Paper Museum to learn about the town's ancient paper-making tradition.
From Amalfi, a private car will take you up to the enchanting hilltop town of Ravello, perched high above the sea. Ravello is famous for its stunning villas and gardens. Visit the Villa Cimbrone, with its famous Terrace of Infinity offering breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, and the Villa Rufolo, which inspired Wagner's opera Parsifal. For lunch, we recommend Ristorante Garden, with its beautiful terrace and delicious local cuisine.
Return to your yacht in Amalfi and enjoy a relaxing evening on board. The chef will prepare a special dinner featuring local ingredients and flavors. Enjoy the meal on the aft deck, with the twinkling lights of Amalfi as your backdrop. After dinner, you can enjoy a digestif under the stars or watch a movie in the yacht's cinema.

Day 5
After a leisurely breakfast, the yacht will cruise to the Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto), a captivating sea cave named for the ethereal emerald light that fills its interior. A small rowboat will take you into this magical grotto, where you can admire the stalactites, stalagmites, and the unique underwater nativity scene.
From the Emerald Grotto, it's a short cruise to the charming fishing village of Conca dei Marini. Anchor in the bay and enjoy a delicious lunch at La Tonnarella, a delightful restaurant right on the beach, known for its fresh seafood and local specialties. Spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach, swimming in the clear waters, or exploring the coastline with the yacht's kayaks or paddleboards.
As the sun sets, enjoy cocktails on the deck of your yacht, followed by a specially prepared dinner by your private chef. The tranquil setting of Conca dei Marini provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and intimate evening on board.

Day 6
Awaken to a final breakfast on the Amalfi Coast before the yacht sets course for the island of Ischia, the largest in the Bay of Naples. Known as the “Green Island” for its lush vegetation, Ischia is famous for its thermal spas and volcanic hot springs. The cruise from the Amalfi Coast to Ischia offers stunning views of the coastline and the open sea.
Upon arrival in Ischia, anchor near the main port and go ashore to explore this fascinating island. A private car will be arranged for you to visit one of the island’s famous thermal parks, such as the Negombo or Poseidon Gardens. Spend the afternoon relaxing in the therapeutic thermal pools, enjoying the beautiful gardens, and rejuvenating your body and soul. Alternatively, you can visit the impressive Aragonese Castle, a medieval fortress connected to the island by a stone bridge, offering a glimpse into the island’s rich history and spectacular views.
For your final evening, enjoy a farewell dinner at Ristorante Alberto, a renowned restaurant in Ischia Porto, known for its exquisite seafood and romantic setting on the water. Raise a glass to an unforgettable week of luxury and discovery on the Amalfi Coast.
