Procida is the island that Capri and Ischia forgot to tell you about, and that is exactly why you should go. A Procida yacht charter day gives you the smallest, most colourful of the three Phlegraean islands without any of the crowds. Fishermen still mend nets by the harbour, grandmothers still shout across balconies, and the light at sunset turns every wall pink.
Named the Italian Capital of Culture in 2022, Procida has quietly stepped into the spotlight while keeping its slow, salt-washed soul. From the deck of a private yacht, you get the best of both sides: the postcard views and the authentic island life.
Why Arrive by Yacht?
Procida is tiny. You can walk across it in an hour, but you will miss the best of it if you only see the main port. By yacht, you can circle the whole coastline in a morning, drop anchor off a hidden beach, swim before lunch, and be back in the harbour in time for an aperitivo as the lights come on. Our captains know the island by heart, so your route flows with the wind and the light rather than a printed timetable.
Marina Corricella: The Soul of the Island
Marina Corricella is the moment that will stay with you. A tight curve of fishermen’s houses painted in lemon, coral, ochre, and pink, piled on top of each other in that unhurried Mediterranean way. Your tender glides right into the harbour, and lunch at one of the waterside trattorie feels like stepping into a film set. In fact, several films have been shot here, from Il Postino to The Talented Mr Ripley.
Chiaiolella, Vivara, and the Swim Stops
On the western side, Marina Chiaiolella opens into a wide natural bay that is perfect for anchoring. From here you can tender across to the tiny protected island of Vivara, a wild nature reserve linked to Procida by a footbridge. The water around it is some of the clearest in the Bay of Naples, ideal for a long snorkel or a paddle-board session off the back of the yacht.
For a quieter swim, ask your captain to anchor off Pozzo Vecchio, the small black-sand beach also known as Postino Beach, where the cliffs shelter the cove from the wind.

Eat Like a Local, Shop Like No One
Procida’s food is honest and seasonal. Try the island’s famous lemon salad with mint and chilli, a plate of spaghetti with sea urchins, or a lingua di bue pastry still warm from the bakery. Our shore concierge can reserve a table at La Conchiglia, reachable only by boat or 186 steps down from the cliff, for one of the most memorable lunches of your charter.
Plan Your Procida Yacht Charter
Procida pairs beautifully with Ischia for a two-island loop, or works as a calm final stop on a week-long Amalfi Coast charter before you fly home from Naples. Whether you have a single day or five, a Procida yacht charter trip is the quiet counterweight to the glamour of Capri and the scale of the Amalfi Coast.
