About this tour
Sail from Sorrento or Naples to Procida, the volcanic island crowned Italian Capital of Culture in 2022. This 8–9 hour boat tour circles the island's seven craters, stopping at turquoise coves, hidden fishing villages, and medieval landmarks. You'll anchor at Chiaia inlet for swimming, explore the pastel-painted streets of Corricella on foot, and spot the D'Avalos Palace and Abbey of San Michele from the water. A professional skipper guides you through the island's raw coastal beauty and cultural heritage.

What to expect
You'll board a well-maintained boat with cabin facilities and an outdoor shower. The skipper handles navigation while you drift past pastel-coloured houses clinging to the shoreline. Expect 2–3 hours of cruising broken by swimming stops at designated spots; bring reef-safe sunscreen. At Corricella, you'll have time to walk the village or grab lunch at harborside trattorias (at your own cost). The pace is unhurried—this is about observing the island's layered history and geology from multiple angles rather than ticking boxes.
