MINORI

After the excitement of the night before, the anchorage off Minori will be calm and peaceful once more as the sun rises. A sauna, steam and swim is a delightful way to begin the day, the sea still very calm in those earlier hours. Explore the ‘Path of the Lemons’ which links Minori and Maori, being the original means by which the two towns were connected, and by which the lemons still grown on those cliffs are transported down to the harbour at Minori. The heady scent of the lemons and absorbing views deliver one of the most evocative experiences on the Amalfi Coast. Find a quiet spot to read a book, or enjoy the sun’s afternoon warmth on the sundeck. For those already longing to experience more of the Amalfi Coast’s particularly captivating beauty, Ravello’s colourful cliffside terraced gardens will be at their most aromatic and enchanting in the heat of the day. The town which this famous coast takes its name from is nestled just across the bay from Minori, it’s a short passage to a position closer to the small but achingly beautiful Amalfi.

‍

AMALFI

Whilst it’s famous name might evoke ideas of a grand and sprawling town, Amalfi actually has quite a compact centre, and one dominated by the Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea. You’ll have a great view of the Cathedral from the anchorage, but that doesn’t do justice to the frescoes which line its interior walls, or the intricate golden ceiling. There are a number of excellent seafood restaurants in the centre of Amalfi, or take a short tender ride to the Beach Club restaurant at the timeless Borgo Santandrea Hotel, midway between Amalfi and the next location, the Vettica Maggiore anchorage just to the East of Positano.

DAY CRUISE : AMALFI TO POSITANO

12KTS . 7NM . 40M

‍

POSITANO

Dramatic Positano is the Amalfi Coast’s poster girl, with vertiginous houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta. There are a number of revered restaurants perched on its surrounding wisteria-drenched cliffsides, notably Aldo’s at La Sirenuse, a short but beautiful evening limo tender ride to the restaurant’s private dock.

‍

POSITANO

Guests will wake to the sound of the bells ringing at the Church of Saint Januarius. There couldn’t be a more enchanting place to enjoy breakfast or a mid-morning massage on the sundeck. Walk ‘Il Sentiero degli Dei’, also known as ‘The Path of the Gods’. The trail sweeps through olive groves, terraces and magnificent expanses of blue sky, peering down to the jagged Amalfi Coast below, dotted with the colourful tiled domes of Praiano and Positano, Capri in the distance. In between Positano and the anchorage lies the delightfully original beachside fish restaurant of Da Adalfo. Spend the afternoon exploring one of Italy and the World’s most famous coastal towns. Stroll through the narrow streets and admire the vibrant houses perched on the cliffs. Visit the beautiful Church of Santa Maria Assunta, known for its iconic majolica-tiled dome. Enjoy evening drinks as the evening sun glows down behind Positano, before a short tender ride to another storied restaurant, Carlino’s at the Il San Pietro.

‍

POSITANO

Breakfast in bed, on the sundeck, or in the beach club with the soft sound of the water lapping against the hull. Waking up on the Amalfi Coast in the peaceful and private haven of a superyacht, looking back at the towering cliffs and the pastel colours of Positano, is an exclusive experience.

DAY CRUISE : POSITANO TO NERANO

12KTS . 6NM . 35M

‍

NERANO

After the energy and buzz of the Amalfi Coast’s other towns, Nerano is a more secluded spot, it’s cliffs covered with lush green vegetation rather than pastel coloured buildings. As the village is built into the mountains and it is slightly more difficult to get to, it means there is a more tranquil atmosphere and a wild beauty to it. Emperor Tiberio Nerone, from which the town is believed to have taken its name, was so echanted by it, that he built a villa here to spend his summers. It is also known for its great local seafood. After dinner off Nerano, the boat moves to the anchorage off Capri.

‍

NIGHT CRUISE: NERANO TO CAPRI

12KTS . 5NM . 30M

‍

CAPRI

Wake to views of Capri’s Southern anchorage, Marina Piccola. The graceful gem of the lemon-scented Amalfi Coast, Capri is pure poetry. Whilst only 4 miles long and 1.8 miles at its widest, it’s brimming with wisteria frothed villas, brightly painted buildings, gardens cloaked in kaleidoscopic colour, and plump piazzas. Capri is utterly enchanting. High above vibrant Capri itself, there is also the calmer village of Anacapri to explore, or even higher above that, all of the island’s beauty can be seen from it’s highest point, Monte Solaro. For anyone wanting to indulge further in the romance and beauty of the island, the magnificent Gardens of Augustus and the Villa San Michele are both sure to steal your heart. After a day ashore in Capri, return to the peace and seclusion of the anchorage for some wellness treatments before a glamorous dinner with the Capri backdrop.

‍

CAPRI

Early in the morning, before guests rise, the yacht will serenely make its way back across the Bay of Naples to the anchorage off the island of Ischia.

‍

DAY CRUISE : CAPRI TO ISCHIA

12KTS . 18NM . 1H35M

‍

ISCHIA

Ischia is a volcanic island, known for its high concentration of hot springs and mineral rich waters. More than 300 spa areas allow the mind and the body to regenerate. Ischia’s beauty is a more rugged than it’s sister island of Capri. A more laid-back and tranquil location, this is a day to recoup from the energy of Capri, maybe on one of the island’s beaches.

‍

ISCHIA

Wake up in the serenity and tranquillity of Ischia’s anchorage art the final morning onboard, a final breakfast from their favourite spot onboard, enjoying a final massage, sauna or swim, before the yacht makes the passage back East to the anchorage off Naples for guests to disembark.
