Sailing on the Amalfi Coast

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

Few sailing areas combine spectacular coastal landscapes, Mediterranean joie de vivre and Italian charm as impressively as the Amalfi Coast. Steep cliffs, picturesque harbour villages and some of the finest islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea make this week-long trip a truly special experience.

The Amalfi Coast is both our starting point and destination. From here we plan our route flexibly – always adapted to wind and weather. This leaves time for relaxed sailing, beautiful anchorages and the special places that define this sailing area.

Off Capri we enjoy the spectacular backdrop of the Faraglioni rocks and anchor in one of the turquoise bays. The island reveals its most beautiful side from the water and is one of the trip's highlights.

Procida offers a delightful contrast. The smallest island in the Bay of Naples captivates with its authentic character, colourful fishing cottages and the picturesque harbour of Marina Corricella. Here Italian dolce vita still seems a natural part of daily life.

Only a few nautical miles away lies Ischia. The green volcanic island welcomes us with lively harbour towns, impressive coastlines and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether strolling through the alleyways or enjoying dinner overlooking the harbour – Ischia invites you to savour the moment.

When conditions suit, a longer passage takes us to the remote volcanic island of Ventotene. Far from the well-trodden tourist routes, we find crystal-clear water, an extraordinary Roman harbour and a tranquillity rarely found in the Mediterranean.

Naturally the Amalfi Coast itself must not be missed. Under sail we pass the spectacular cliffs with their colourful villages such as Positano and Amalfi – a perspective that only from the water reveals its full beauty.

This trip combines varied sailing with Italian lifestyle, impressive landscapes and the special character of the island world in the Bay of Naples. A sailing area that never fails to delight – and is best experienced under sail.
