Procida Boat Tour from Ischia: Discover the Island's Hidden Gems by Sea
A scenic half-day voyage around Procida aboard a classic Sorrentine vessel, departing from the shores of Ischia.
This Procida boat tour from Ischia brings you face to face with one of the most authentic and visually striking islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Sailing along Procida's coastline reveals volcanic beaches, pastel-colored fishing villages, and protected natural reserves that few visitors ever see up close.
The journey unfolds aboard a comfortable Sorrentine goiter, a traditional southern Italian wooden vessel well suited to the calm coastal waters between Ischia and Procida. The skipper and crew guide the group through each landmark, providing context for the island's geography, history, and cultural significance.
Stops are well distributed throughout the tour, allowing time for swimming, snorkeling, and a short independent walk around Procida's port area. The pace is relaxed and accessible, making it suitable for travelers of all ages and fitness levels.
Tour Highlights
View the protected islet of Vivara, a State Natural Reserve since 2002 with pristine seabed and wild coastal scenery.
Visit Pozzo Vecchio beach, the filming location of the acclaimed Italian film Il Postino by Massimo Troisi, born from ancient volcanic activity.
