Ischia, Procida and Capri: A Three-Island Tour
If you want to enrich your boating experience even further, consider an itinerary that includes Procida and Capri. Departing from Ischia in the early morning gives you enough time to visit the highlights of the three most fascinating islands in the Gulf of Naples. In Procida, the Marina di Corricella with its pastel-colored houses is a little piece of poetry suspended in time. In Capri, the stars are the famous Faraglioni, the Blue Grotto, and the small bays perfect for snorkeling.
This type of excursion is only possible with high-performance, reliable boats like the motorboats of the Giosymar fleet. Tours like these require a full day, but the variety of landscapes and experiences makes every moment on board enjoyable and filled with emotion.
Customize Your Itinerary with Expert Skippers
One of the great advantages of renting a boat with a skipper in Ischia is the flexibility to adapt your route to your needs. Giosymar’s skippers know every corner of the island and can guide you to little-known caves, secluded coves, and views that go unnoticed by most tourists. Each tour can be personalized in terms of duration, stops, type of experience (romantic, adventurous, relaxing), and onboard services.
Those seeking an exclusive experience can also choose a private sunset tour with aperitif and soft music, or a morning excursion with breakfast on board and departure at dawn. All options are designed to offer the highest standards of comfort, beauty, and safety.

Unmissable Places to See by Boat in Ischia
Every corner of the island hides something to discover, but there are some places that truly make the sea experience unforgettable. Some are easy to reach, others only accessible by boat—and that’s what makes the island tour so fascinating.
In addition to the Aragonese Castle and the Green Grotto, it’s worth heading to the southwestern coast to admire the Bay of Pelara, a wild and little-frequented area where the waters are deep and the nature at its most authentic. Around Forio, the coast becomes rugged and full of small inlets—here you can marvel at the Punta Imperatore promontory, perhaps stopping for a refreshing swim.
Other places worth a detour are Punta Chiarito, one of the most scenic thanks to its volcanic cliffs overlooking the sea, and the Maronti Bay, famous for the contrast between dark sand and turquoise water. Don’t miss the Grotta del Mago (Wizard’s Cave), less known than the Green Grotto but equally fascinating: a small passage carved into the rock, accessible only in perfect sea conditions.
How Long Does a Boat Tour in Ischia Last?
The duration of your tour depends entirely on your needs and the kind of experience you’re looking for. The most requested tours are:
🔹 Full tour of Ischia – full day (6–7 hours): perfect for exploring the whole island at a relaxed pace, stopping at various bays to swim, unwind, and take memorable photos.
🔹 Half-day (4 hours): ideal for those with limited time who don’t want to miss out. It focuses on the most beautiful spots like Cartaromana, Sant’Angelo and Sorgeto.
🔹 Sunset tour (2 hours): a magical moment, perfect for couples or special occasions, with the warm glow of the setting sun and an aperitif on board.
With Giosymar, every tour can be customized to match your available time, with options to include stops beyond the island or exclusive moments like dawn breakfasts, onboard toasts, or lunch at the best seaside restaurants.
Practical Tips for Your Boat Tour
To make the most of your boat experience in Ischia, here are some useful tips to keep in mind. First, the best time of year: the ideal season runs from May to September, with long days, calm seas, and perfect temperatures for sailing. June and September are particularly recommended if you’re looking for peace and less crowding.
Don’t forget sunscreen, a swimsuit, sunglasses and a light jacket: even in summer, the sea breeze can surprise you. Some boats already offer towels, drinks and snacks included, like those of Giosymar, which provide everything you need for a carefree day.
Lastly, remember that it’s always best to book in advance, especially during peak season. The best boats get booked quickly, especially for the most popular dates. Contact Giosymar directly to plan your itinerary and receive personalized assistance.
