Spend a full day on a vintage boat from Forio exploring Ischia’s coves and the colorful island of Procida. Expect swims, local food, coastal history and an optional guided taxi tour ashore.
The boat slips away from Forio at mid-morning and the sea immediately takes command, the Mediterranean blue pushing you toward hidden coves and sun-slick rocks. Onboard a vintage-style motor launch, the route unfurls—short swims in calm bays, bruschetta and local wine under an open sky, then the boat eases into the colorful harbor of Procida. Walking its narrow lanes feels like moving through a seaside film: bright facades, fishing nets drying, and the clipped cry of gulls.

The boat slips away from Forio at mid-morning and the sea immediately takes command, the Mediterranean blue pushing you toward hidden coves and sun-slick rocks. Onboard a vintage-style motor launch, the route unfurls—short swims in calm bays, bruschetta and local wine under an open sky, then the boat eases into the colorful harbor of Procida. Walking its narrow lanes feels like moving through a seaside film: bright facades, fishing nets drying, and the clipped cry of gulls.
This route links two volcanic islands shaped by eruptions and sea-sculpted cliffs. You’ll pass the Aragonese Castle on Ischia, a 15th-century fortress on trachytic rock, and circle by beaches of dark volcanic sand before crossing to Procida, longtime fishing ground and location for Il Postino.
Culturally the trip is compact Campania: simple cuisine, centuries-old maritime life, and small chapels perched above the water. Vivara’s protected islet appears as a wild green rim—an ecological pocket of rare plants and seabirds visible from the boat.
Practical notes: the tour runs about 7–8 hours from Forio, includes lunch, bottled water and soft drinks, and several supervised swim stops. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, swim shoes for pebbly landings, and a light wind layer—the mistral can cool afternoons. If you want to explore ashore, accept the optional taxi-guide in Procida or plan an hour-long walk from the marina. Mobility limitations should be considered: boarding involves low gangways and moving decks. Weather and sea state determine final stops; captains prioritize safety.
Yes—lunch and a selection of local beverages (water, soft drinks and some alcoholic options) are provided on board.
