After about an hour of sailing, you’ll spot the impressive silhouette of the Aragonese Castle on the horizon, perched between the sky and sea on a small volcanic rock islet. Here, you will have the chance to disembark and explore this millennia-old fortress while admiring the spectacular views of the island of Ischia. Once back on board, we will cruise along San Pietro Beach, one of the island’s most lively and picturesque beaches. We will then reach the bay of San Montano, a hidden paradise nestled between the green hills of Ischia.

In the bay, you’ll have the chance to swim and enjoy the natural hot springs. Here, you can relax in the warm freshwater and swim in an authentic natural paradise.

    After getting back on board, we’ll continue along the island, reaching Sant’Angelo, a picturesque fishing village nestled into the rock, where the colorful houses seem to climb the hill. A little further ahead, the Bay of Maronti unfolds before us. It’s one of the most spectacular beaches in Ischia, surrounded by thermal springs and charming coves. Before leaving the island, we’ll pass through Cartaromana, a stretch of sea where time seems to stand still, with ancient submerged ruins and the sea sparkling under the sun.
