We'll suggest the best routes and offer advice on how to get the best rates on boat cruises along the Neapolitan coast.

What are the best boat tours in Naples?

• The most well-known is the Isle of Capri: Taking a boat journey to the Isle of Capri from the port of Castellammare di Stabia is a must-do activity. Natural wonders such as the White Grotto, the Green Grotto, and the majestic Faraglioni can be visited once you get on the island. Alternatively, it is possible to visit Capri by motorbike and from Sorrento, where the excursion, which can include up to 12 people, skippered, of course, offers an aperitif on board and provides for the last boat near the island of Capri.

• Sorrento: For those who aren't happy with a simple trip, a ten-hour mini-cruise to the colourful villages of Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi is suitable. Departing from Castellamare di Stabia, a tourist port that used to be a mini-financial institution, you have the option of a two-hour stop in Positano and a two-hour ticket to Amalfi.

• Procida: For those interested in seeing the picturesque island of Procida, a sailing trip to Procida beginning from Pozzuoli lasts 8 hours, with a professional skipper at the helm, and includes lunch and an aperitif.

• Posillipo: For a total excursion of 90 minutes, you can visit the coast of Posillipo, the Path from Mergellina to Trentaremi; If you ask us, we would strongly suggest visiting the beautiful Sommerso della Gaiola Park to reach the secret bay of the green rocks, dive there at Riva Fiorita Beach or at the Beach of the Nuns to enjoy a gorgeous spectacle.

• Ischia: It is the largest island in the Gulf of Naples. If you travel through Ischia from Sorrento or Naples, you cannot miss visiting the beautiful beach of Maronti, the bay of San Montano with its blue waves and the Negombo hot springs park.

What kinds of boat excursions can I take in Naples?

• Special for children: A boat trip to Capri will be organized for children departing from Castellammare di Stabia. The boat tour is designed specifically for youngsters and includes food and cold drinks on board. They even have the opportunity to dive off the Amalfi coast's cliffs and swim with stunning fish species.

• For vacations: For kids who like to party, the full-day yacht excursion, which can accommodate up to 12 people and includes jet skis and paddles, is a fantastic option sailing from Sorrento, close to Ischia and Procida; all of this is set in an ambience of Neapolitan music and gastronomy, with the opportunity to sample, enjoy meals, and toast with champagne.

• For romantics: We recommend a romantic meal on a boat: departing from the Bay of Miseno (Bacoli, NA), you can pass the Campi Flegrei, admire the Aragonese Castle of Baia, and, above all, enjoy a menu with many courses (aperitif, appetizer, first dish, dessert and drinks).
