A 7-day flotilla sailing holiday departing from Procida, combining daily coastal navigation with wine tastings at local cellars, seafood buffets, archaeological visits and evenings in the most celebrated harbors of the Campanian coast and the Gulf of Salerno.
The stretch of coastline between the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno is one of the most densely layered sailing areas in the Mediterranean. Within a circuit of roughly 120 nautical miles, the route passes through a Bourbon island thermal resort, the most photographed cliff village in Italy, a UNESCO World Heritage coastline, a Greek temple complex predating the Roman Empire and a sequence of fishing villages whose food and wine traditions have survived centuries of international attention without losing their local identity. This flotilla sailing holiday organizes that geography into a week of daily navigation and evening cultural experiences, combining the independence of sailing your own boat with the social structure of a shared itinerary.
A flotilla format means each boat navigates independently within the group, with a lead boat setting the daily pace and a technical crew available for any assistance needed underway. The balance between autonomy and support makes this format particularly well suited to guests who want real sailing rather than a guided excursion, while the shared evening events at each stop create a social continuity across the week that individual charters rarely produce.
The wine focus of the itinerary is not incidental. The Campanian coast from Ischia to the Cilento produces some of the most historically significant wines in Italy on indigenous grape varieties that predate the Roman presence in the region. Biancolella and Forastera from Ischia, Falanghina from the Phlegraean Fields and the Campanian plains, Aglianico from the volcanic hillsides above the Gulf of Salerno and the white varieties of the Amalfi hillside vineyards represent a wine culture shaped by the same volcanic geology that defines the landscape visible from the boat throughout the week. The evening tastings at local cellars along the route connect directly to the coastline sailed each day, making the wine experience a geographic narrative as much as a sensory one.
Procida, the departure base, is the smallest and least developed of the three main islands in the Bay of Naples and the one that has maintained the most authentic relationship between its harbor, its fishing community and the colored houses rising above the Marina Grande. The island served as the visual inspiration for Elsa Morante's novel La Storia and has been recognized as Italian Capital of Culture for its preservation of a way of life increasingly rare on the developed coasts of southern Italy.
Itinerary
Day1
Procida, Arrival and Welcome Dinner
Check-in takes place at the Marina Grande in Procida from 16:30. After settling onboard and a fleet briefing covering the week's navigation plan, safety procedures and onboard organization, the flotilla gathers for a welcome aperitif at 19:30 with local wine from the Phlegraean Islands and a traditional Campanian buffet. The evening in Procida is an introduction both to the social life of the flotilla and to the food and wine character of the region, with the colored facades of the Marina Corricella visible from the harbor and the island's narrow lanes accessible on foot. Overnight moored in Procida.
Day2
Ischia and the Biancolella Tasting at Ambra Wine Cellars
The morning briefing sets the course for Ischia, the largest volcanic island in the Bay of Naples. The navigation crosses the short channel between Procida and Ischia before the fleet disperses along the coastline to explore the approaches to Sant'Angelo, the thermal bay of Sorgeto with its naturally heated sea floor, and the northern shore between Casamicciola and Lacco Ameno. Check-in takes place in the afternoon with mooring organized for the fleet. At 18:30 the group transfers to Ambra Wine Cellars for a tasting of Biancolella and Falanghina, the two principal white varieties produced on the volcanic soils of Ischia, with a cellar presentation connecting the island's geology to the character of the wines in the glass. Overnight moored in Ischia.
Day3
Capri and Positano
Morning navigation departs Ischia toward Capri, one of the most recognizable island profiles in the Mediterranean, with the Faraglioni rock formations and the limestone cliffs of the southern coast visible from the approach. The morning in Capri is dedicated to time ashore in the town and the surrounding paths, with the chairlift to Monte Solaro and the walks above the Faraglioni offering perspectives over the surrounding sea that no boat deck can replace. After lunch, the flotilla sets sail east toward Positano, the Amalfi Coast village whose stacked houses and cliff-face churches descend to the sea in a configuration that has made it one of the most painted and photographed coastal subjects in Italy. The evening is spent in Positano with dinner ashore at one of the waterfront restaurants. Overnight at anchor in front of Positano.
Day4
Furore, Salerno and Paestum Wine and Mozzarella Evening
The morning navigation follows the Amalfi coastline eastward through one of the most dramatic stretches of Mediterranean coast accessible by sailing boat. The fiord of Furore is the most geologically unusual feature on the route, a narrow volcanic gorge cut into the cliff face by a seasonal river, its walls descending to a small fishing settlement and a beach visible from the sea. The coastline continues past Praiano and the approach to Salerno, where the fleet moors in the Marina di Arechi from 15:30. In the afternoon, a transfer to the archaeological area of Paestum brings the group to three of the best-preserved Doric Greek temples in existence, built between the 6th and 5th centuries BCE by the Greek colony of Poseidonia and surrounded by the museum that houses the Tomb of the Diver fresco. At 19:00 the evening continues at Cantine Cilentane in the Cilento area for a tasting of local wines with a buffet centered on buffalo mozzarella produced in the surrounding plain, one of the most authentic food experiences of the entire week. Overnight moored in Salerno.
Day5
Vietri sul Mare and Cetara
The morning sail returns west along the Gulf of Salerno toward the Amalfi Coast, with the first stop at Vietri sul Mare, the town at the eastern gateway to the Amalfi Coast known for its ceramic tradition and its position above a small beach with views toward Salerno Bay. Navigation continues to Cetara, a compact fishing village built on the steep slopes of Mount Falesio whose origins as a Saracen settlement in the 9th century are still legible in the character of the narrow lanes above the harbor. Cetara is known throughout Campania for its anchovy production, and the colatura di alici, a fermented anchovy sauce whose tradition connects directly to the ancient Roman garum produced on the same coast, defines the flavor identity of the village's restaurants. Mooring in the small harbor from 18:00. At 21:00 the group gathers for a wine tasting of Falanghina and Aglianico at Cantine Salernitane in the village, accompanied by a local fish buffet. Overnight moored in Cetara.
Day6
Amalfi and the Fior d'Uva Cellar
A short but concentrated navigation from Cetara westward along the coast passes some of the most inaccessible sections of the Amalfi shoreline, where villages cling to cliff faces above small beaches unreachable by road. Amalfi itself, the medieval maritime republic whose navigational code, the Tavole Amalfitane, governed merchant shipping throughout the Mediterranean from the 11th century onward, sits at the head of a valley between two headlands with its cathedral facade visible from the sea on the approach. Mooring in Amalfi from 16:30. At 18:30 the group visits the cellars of Fior d'Uva and an Amalfi Coast producer working with the indigenous Fior d'Uva and Fiano varieties grown on the terraced hillside vineyards above the town, some of the most difficult wine-producing terrain in Italy and some of the most characterful wines available on the coast. Overnight moored in Amalfi.
Day7
Return to Procida and Disembarkation
The final navigation departs Amalfi westward past the headlands of the Sorrento Peninsula, rounding Punta Campanella at the southwestern tip of the peninsula where the sea opens between the mainland and Capri. An anchor stop in the clear water near the cape allows a last swim in Tyrrhenian conditions before the fleet sets course north for Procida across the Bay of Naples. Arrival in the Marina Grande from 17:30. Guests spend the final night moored in Procida and disembarkation takes place the following morning by 09:00.

Yacht - Kanter Ketch
The Kanter 65 is a custom aluminium ketch designed by naval architect Dieter Empacher and built by Kanter Yachts in Ontario, Canada, a yard that specializes exclusively in metal-hulled sailing yachts built to order. The ketch rig, flush deck profile and shallow draft centerboard combine to produce a boat designed equally for offshore passage-making and comfortable living aboard over extended periods.
Kanter Yachts builds each boat to the specific requirements of its owner, and the Kanter 65 reflects that approach in every detail of its construction and layout. The hull and deck are built in aluminium, a material choice that prioritizes longevity and structural resilience over the weight savings of fiberglass, producing a boat whose construction quality is designed to remain intact over decades rather than seasons. The flush deck and low cabin profile keep the foredeck clean for sail handling or comfortable lounging, while below the waterline the shallow draft centerboard and high ballast-to-displacement ratio allow a comfortable motion at sea with excellent tracking stability.
The ketch rig is the defining sailing characteristic of the boat. Two masts divide the total sail area into a series of smaller, more manageable panels that can be balanced against each other in varying conditions. A hydraulic furling system on both the main and mizzen combined with powered winches allows the boat to be handled by a small crew from the shelter of the cockpit, making the Kanter 65 genuinely manageable without a large or experienced team on deck. The mizzen provides a stable sheeting point for a mizzen staysail in downwind conditions, extending the sail plan considerably in favorable winds.
Wide and protected side decks with a Portuguese bridge make movement along the deck safe in a seaway. The raised aft deck, sheltered by the overhang above, features a comfortable settee that serves as the natural outdoor social area at anchor or in settled conditions underway.
Below deck the interior is organized around a large and well-lit saloon with plentiful windows bringing natural light throughout. The master stateroom sits amidships where it benefits from the full beam of the hull and from a motion at sea considerably more comfortable than a forward cabin position. A utility and laundry room separates the master stateroom from the galley, which is laid out to keep the cook well braced underway with good visibility and natural light. Two additional staterooms forward can be arranged in various configurations depending on the specific build, and each heads compartment features ceramic fittings and tiled showers reflecting the custom construction standards of the yard.
The exact layout and configuration of the specific boat will be confirmed before departure.
What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light, but wisely! Need help building the perfect list?

What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor, ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties, think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything. Want to know what’s included in your setup? Read the full guide: Who takes care of cooking and cleaning on a sailing charter?
What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues, but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?
