Ischia feels different from the water, where thermal hills meet cobalt bays and the towns glow against the rock. Depart from Forio on a comfortable boat just for the group, and follow the shoreline past Citara Bay and the seaside village of Sant’Angelo. Take a break for swim stops in clear coves like Sgarrupata and Varulo. Drinks and snacks keep the day easy and fun, and lunch on board turns this cruise into the perfect excursion and a true island ritual.

Itinerary

Your tour begins at the Port of Forio

Meet your skipper at the harbor and step aboard a comfortable boat. As you pull away, Ischia’s cliffs and pastel towns line up in the distance.

Cruise the west coast past Citara Bay

Skim over deep blue water toward Citara, with the light house, Punta Imperatore rising ahead. From the sea, glimpse the tiered pools of Poseidon Gardens and the island’s lush and fertile interior thanks to its volcanic and geothermal activity.

Slip into the water near Sant’Angelo

Next, reach Sant’Angelo, a small seaside village set against bright rock and calm coves. Drop anchor for a swim and snorkel stop, floating in clear water near the shoreline.

Swim beneath the cliffs at Sgarrupata

Then the boat tucks into Sgarrupata, a dramatic bay only reachable by sea. The water turns intensely blue. Take another swim stop in this private corner of the island.

Enjoy lunch on board with views of the Aragonese Castle

As the boat rounds the island, the Aragonese Castle appears, a stone silhouette against the sky. Eat lunch on board with drinks, while listening to the sound of the waves.

Your tour ends at the Port of Forio

Return to Forio in the late afternoon with sun-warmed skin. Step back onto the dock with the sense that you’ve seen Ischia the way it wants to be seen, from the water.
