8 hours Full-Day Itinerary proposal: Ischia & Procida Tour

​

Please note that the following itinerary is only a suggested proposal.

As this is a fully private boat experience, the program can be customized both in advance and during the tour itself. You are completely free to modify stops, timing, swimming breaks, lunch location, or the overall route, provided that changes are technically feasible and compatible with sea conditions and navigation distances.

The proposed departure time of 10:00 AM is simply a recommendation. We can arrange departure at a different time according to your preferences. That said, we generally suggest starting between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM, as these hours typically offer the best sea conditions for a smoother and more enjoyable navigation.

The standard duration of 8 hours is also a proposal. Should you wish to extend your experience, additional hours can absolutely be arranged at an extra hourly rate.

Our goal is to create a seamless and tailor-made day at sea, perfectly aligned with your expectations.

Important Notes – Tour Customization & Logistics:

Please note that the fulfillment of all scheduled stops listed in our Private Boat Tour itineraries depends on the guest’s time management preferences. As this is a private experience, you are free to focus more on one destination over another. This flexibility allows for a more enjoyable and personalized tour, but it also means that spending extended time at one location may result in skipping subsequent stops, either partially or entirely, or modifying the itinerary to ensure a timely return.

Additionally, certain external factors beyond our or the client’s control may affect the timing and progression of the tour. For example, embarking and disembarking at some ports may require waiting in line based on the order of arriving boats. Similarly, access to attractions like the Blue Grotto depends on sea conditions and often involves unpredictable wait times, which could impact the rest of the itinerary.

Please also consider that reaching the town centers of destinations such as Capri and Sorrento involves the use of public transportation or taxis, which can add time ashore. Conversely, in places like Positano and Sant’Angelo (Ischia), guests disembark directly in the heart of the town, allowing for faster access and smoother exploration.

We will always do our best to help you optimize your time and make the most of your day at sea, ensuring a memorable and relaxing experience.
