Charter a superyacht in
Scuba diving is a popular activity on the Island of Ischia, which is well-equipped for tourists with its small shops, restaurants, and bars. A favorite among day trippers from the mainland, Ischia is divided into two parts: the bustling port area and the historic section near the Castle and Roman Bridge. The port is situated in an extinct volcanic crater, once a volcanic lake. Behind it rises Montagnone Hill, accessible by a funicular offering breathtaking views of the island’s coastline and lush surroundings.
Ischia’s interior is rugged and mountainous, with Monte Epomeo standing as the island’s highest peak at 788 meters. The island’s history dates back to the Bronze and Iron Age, with artifacts displayed in the local history museum. When the Greeks arrived in the 8th century, they introduced vines, and today, the wines from Pietratorcia remain a highlight. Visitors can also explore the Aragonese Castle, dating to 475 BC, accessible by a tunnel or a modern lift, and the beautiful Cathedral of Assunta and Church of Immacolata.

On Ischia’s western side lies Florio, famous for its tower and thermal springs. Once a retreat for wealthy Italians, the area is dotted with stunning villas. Among these is the renowned La Mortella, the former home of British composer Sir William Walton. Walton transformed the grounds into a lush paradise of rare tropical plants, offering a tranquil escape. The island also boasts golden beaches, with Cetara beach being one of the most celebrated spots for sun and sand.
Capri, near Ischia, has two harbors: Marina Piccola and Marina Grande. The island’s name derives from "Kapros," meaning wild boar, attributed to its Greek settlers. Capri’s Marina Grande, built in 1928, provides yacht berths for visitors. Highlights include the Roman Villa Jovis, located on Monte Tiberio, which remains intact and offers a glimpse into ancient Roman life. Both Capri and Ischia are renowned for their hand-carved shells and coral, making them perfect for souvenir shopping.
While yachting around Capri, visitors can marvel at the famous Faraglioni rock cliffs—Stella, the tallest, Faraglione di Mezzo, and Scopolo—home to the rare blue lizard. The Blue Grotto is another must-see, accessible via small boat trips from Marina Grande or private tenders. The grotto’s stunning reflections on its walls and stalactites create a mesmerizing experience. Capri’s vibrant atmosphere can be enjoyed in the Piazzetta, the island’s lively square filled with outdoor cafes and bars.
Anacapri, a picturesque village with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, offers another side of Capri’s charm. Before visiting, consider reading Dr. Axel Munthe’s The Story of San Michele, chronicling his life and the building of his villa, San Michele, in 1880. The book’s proceeds fund Italian bird sanctuaries, adding a unique touch of conservation to Capri’s cultural heritage. Together, Ischia and Capri promise an unforgettable yacht charter experience.
