Procida by Catamaran: Full Day or Evening Cruise from the Bay of Naples

Sail to Italy's Capital of Culture 2022 aboard a luxury Lagoon catamaran with lunch or dinner overlooking the Corricella


A Procida catamaran cruise offers one of the most distinctive ways to experience the island that held the title of Italian Capital of Culture in 2022, approaching its pastel-coloured harbour from the water and anchoring in a setting that few visitors ever encounter.

Departing from the port of Bacoli on the Phlegraean coast, the journey aboard a Lagoon catamaran takes roughly forty minutes across the Bay of Naples. Guests can choose between a full-day option with a midday meal or an evening departure that culminates in a dinner cruise under the lights of the Corricella fishing village.

The Corricella is Procida's most iconic quarter, a layered cluster of ochre, pink, and yellow buildings stacked along the waterfront that became internationally recognised through its appearance in the film Il Postino. Observing it from a moored catamaran in the Rada gives a perspective unavailable from the island's lanes or tourist viewpoints.

Both options are designed for relaxed enjoyment rather than sightseeing on foot. The catamaran serves as a floating base, and the experience centres on the view, the meal, and the calm of the bay rather than guided walking or museum visits.

Tour Highlights

Sail from Bacoli to Procida aboard a premium Lagoon catamaran with open deck space and comfortable seating.

Anchor in the Rada with a direct, unobstructed view of the Corricella, Procida's celebrated pastel waterfront.

Choose the full-day option to sail around the island and enjoy a leisurely lunch in the harbour.

Opt for the evening departure to experience Procida by night, with dinner served as the village lights reflect on the water.

Visit an island recognised as Italy's Capital of Culture 2022, celebrated for its authentic character and artistic heritage.

Enjoy the crossing through the Bay of Naples with views toward Ischia, Capri, and the Neapolitan coastline.
