At Sunsail, we offer a selection of pre-planned itineraries and sailing routes from Procida, including both Bareboat and Flotilla sailing holidays.
Our Procida sailing itineraries can, of course, be tailored to fit your individual needs, but each of them have been carefully selected to ensure you get to experience our favourite spots in the Procida, The Phelgaean Islands and The Pontine Islands.
Below we have summarised our favourite Procida yacht charters for each type of holiday, along with anything we believe you simply cannot miss out on.
For Families
Our Procida flotilla sailing holidays are ideal for families as they provide a perfect blend of independence and support – your own yacht and space, but opportunity to meet with like-minded sailors and families doing the same route as you.
As the lead boat remains nearby, families can enjoy a safe and relaxed sailing experience, creating lasting memories in a shared adventure on the open sea.
Our Pontine Islands Flotilla is perfect for families, especially those travelling with younger children. Steeped in History, Myth and Legend, the Pontine Islands have remnants of ancient tunnel systems and grottos. Discover Ventotene – the birthplace of the Mermaid Myth – and the shipwrecks that are said to have found their watery resting place, at the hands of the Sirens. Or, enjoy family fun on Ischia, with a TukTuk (Ape/ micro-taxi) Tour of the Island, its phenomenal beaches, hiking routes and volcanic peaks.
For Couples
Italy is – arguably – one of the most romantic countries in the world, and the Amalfi coast is absolutely one of the most romantic parts of Italy. If sharing incredible dining opportunities and fine wines is your love language, then our Procida Italian Cuisine Flotilla, which will take you to some of the finest locations for food and wine in the country (a foodie paradise), might be the perfect itinerary plan for you.
Other locations included in our itineraries which make for the perfect for a romantic getaway, include:
- Ischia Port (known for its romantic piano bars and nightlife)
- Forio, (for dreamy Botanical gardens and thermal baths).
- Sailing across the Gulf Of Naples, taking in the views of the mainland as the ocean sparkles around you.
- Sorrento (an artist hotspot, known for spectacular views of the bay. Explore The Regina Giovanna for a romantic beach or find one of the many bars and restaurants with truly breath-taking views).
- Capri – most will know to sail the north of the island, looking out for where to stop and explore the infamous Blue Caves – mainly the Grotta Azzurra and its cousin to the south, Grotta Verde- as well as beaches, such as Spiaggia di Marina Piccola and the spectacular Gardens of Augustus.
- Amalfi Coast – an instagram-approved hotspot for romance, here you will find postcard-worthy pebble beaches set before what appears (from the sea) a wall of buildings – colourful, climbing high above ocean level – also providing some incredible walks (bring sensible footwear!) and quaint eateries.
For a quieter – more quaint sailing experience, consider a bareboat charter around the Pontine Islands – which also sets sail from Procida and showcases the island’s ancient history and Italian charms.
