Sail Italy: Amalfi to Procida

Rugged coastal mountains dotted with pastel cliffside villages and deep blue oceans lapping the shores of pebbled beaches – the Amalfi Coast is as relaxing as it is remarkable. Drift along Italy’s coastlines for five days and set sail to Amalfi, Capri, Ischia and Procida. Visit the home of mythical sirens, explore the ancient holiday homes of great Roman emperors and discover the spectacular natural phenomenon of the Blue Grotto. Hike along historic trails past olive groves, vineyards, lemon orchards and charming villages, stop daily swims in the glittering waters and sample mouth-watering Italian cuisine alongside regional wines. With a local leader to show you the way and plenty of time moored at port stops for your own exploration, the Amalfi Coast has never been so cruisy. As most of this trip takes place on a sailing boat, you’ll need to feel comfortable with moving about the vessel, including using stairs. If you’re prone to seasickness, it is advised that you bring some tablets from home.A Zodiac is used to transport passengers from the boat to the mainland when you’re not docked at the marina. Zodiacs can sometimes be awkward to climb in and out of, but a sense of humour and a can-do attitude is all you need.This is an adventure on board a real yacht, which means living spaces, cabins, bathrooms and showers need to be shared with other passengers. Sleeping quarters can be relatively compact, but you will spend most of your time above board in the open air.
