Day One: Capri                                                                                                         

Welcome to the luxurious Marina di Stabia. The boat is ready to set sail. The final preparations have to be  completed: after having provided the galley with the food, the skipper will be there to help you in arranging it. Just before the departure there will be a brief safety briefing followed by some hints and suggestions on how to stay on the boat. Now we are ready to set sail and the adventure is about to begin. Once out of the port, according to the sea and wind conditions, we will adjust the sails and will immediately route on the blue island: Capri! we will cross the bay of Sorrento and coast the villages of the Sorrento peninsula, Vico Equense, Puolo, Massa Lubrense. We then will arrive to Capri with its cliffs, the endless ravines and caves are close at hand. First stop: Blue Grotta. In small groups we will embark in the characteristic small boats with flat bottom that the expert boatmen manoeuvre to slip into the narrow entrance of the cave on the water surface. We continue the circumnavigation of the island, passing through the green cave and finally we will give the anchor to the small Marina for a refreshing dip, a snack and relax. Just after sunset when the temperature begins to be more pleasant, we will disembark with our dinghy to enjoy the famous Capri nightlife. With a small bus in just over 10 minutes we will be in the famous square. We will continue our walk following the indications for “punta Tragara” to admirea breath-taking view directly on the Faraglioni. Tired for the intense day we will return by boat to relax in the cockpit perhaps sipping a nice Limoncello.

We continue our navigation along the coast towards Amalfi passing by the LiGalli islands, then Positano, Praiano. After Capo Conca, Amalfi appears before us. Between the houses we will be able to see the imposing main facade of its cathedral. We enter the port where we will pass the night.

The skipper will lead you to the discovery two particularly interesting caves to get a little cool on summer days. Before sunset we continue our navigation to Sorrento … the slight breeze of mistral will lead us to the entrance of the port.
