Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Naples waterfront
Meet your skipper at the waterfront along Via Francesco Caracciolo. After a quick safety briefing, you'll board the boat and set off into the crystal-blue waters of the Gulf of Naples.
Cruise past Castel dell'Ovo
Glide past Naples' oldest castle, Castel dell'Ovo, perched on a small island. Your skipper shares stories about the fortress and the legend of the magic egg hidden in its foundation.
Admire Posillipo hill from the sea
Next, cruise toward the lush slopes of Posillipo, where elegant villas cascade into the turquoise gulf. Hear how this exclusive area became a retreat for Roman emperors and modern Neapolitans.
Snorkel at Villa Lauro
Dive into your first snorkeling stop at the sunken ruins of Villa Lauro. Swim through clear waters to explore underwater gardens, ancient stonework, and vibrant marine life.
Visit a secret private beach
Your skipper anchors at a hidden beach with naturally sparkling mineral water bubbling from the rocks. Step ashore to see wild caper plants and panoramic gulf views that few tourists witness.
Snorkel the Posillipo coast
For your second snorkeling session, slip into the water near the Cenito cliffs. Your local skipper points out species and explains the unique volcanic ecosystem below.
Your tour finishes at Via Francesco Caracciolo
Back at the departure point, you'll step off sun-kissed and refreshed. Ask your skipper for recommendations on where to grab lunch or explore next.
