Amalfi Coast and Pontine Islands

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

From the world-famous Amalfi Coast, this trip takes us through one of Italy's most varied sailing regions. Steep rocky coastlines, charming island harbours, secluded anchorages and relaxed sailing days make this route a perfect blend of nature, culture and Mediterranean lifestyle.

After casting off, the spectacular backdrop of the Amalfi Coast remains our companion before we reach the island of Capri. The mighty Faraglioni rocks, turquoise waters and impressive cliffsides are among the Mediterranean's most beautiful sights.

Via the colourful island of Procida and green Ischia, we leave the Bay of Naples and set course for the Pontine Islands. The passage itself often offers excellent sailing conditions – dolphins are not uncommonly spotted en route.

Our first destination is Ventotene. This small volcanic island captivates with its relaxed atmosphere and historic harbour, laid out by the Romans. From here we continue to Ponza, whose colourful houses nestle picturesquely around the harbour and invite you to stroll or spend an evening in one of the many trattorias.

Just a few nautical miles away, Palmarola awaits with one of the finest anchorages in Italy. White cliffs, crystal-clear water and virtually untouched nature create a setting you won't soon forget.

We then sail along the coast of Lazio. The distinctive Monte Circeo accompanies us from afar and points the way to San Felice Circeo, a charming coastal town beneath the storied mountain. Via Anzio, whose harbour looks back on over two thousand years of history, we finally reach Porto di Roma, the modern marina at the gates of the Eternal City.

At around 200 nautical miles, this trip connects some of the most beautiful islands and coasts of Italy. Challenging but well-plannable legs alternate with relaxed days at anchor and Italian dolce vita – a route that will stay in the memory for a long time.
