Yacht charter in Tyrrhenian Sea

Short legs between islands and a coast you cannot anchor on freely. Take buoys where they exist, plan Capri in advance, and keep Zone A off the route.

1. 1

   Marina di Procida

   Saturday handover; walk Corricella rather than leaving late.

2. 2

   Ischia — Casamicciola or Sant'Angelo

   A short hop west; thermal springs and easier berths than Capri.

3. 3

   Capri

   South across the gulf. Marina booked in advance, or anchor off in settled weather.

4. 4

   Positano

   East past Punta Campanella — Zone A is closed, so hold your offing.

5. 5

   Amalfi

   Further east along the coast; buoy or berth and tender ashore.

6. 6

   Salerno or Cetara

   The quieter end of the coast; Marina d'Arechi is here.

7. 7

   Back to Procida

   Round the peninsula and north across the gulf.

The northern half of this region and a completely different week — volcanic islands in clear water, well away from the Amalfi traffic. Not combinable with Naples in seven days.

1. 1

   Marina di Nettuno

   Handover south of Rome; stage along the coast.

2. 2

   Ponza

   The crossing out to the archipelago; a crescent harbour on the east side.

3. 3

   Palmarola

   Uninhabited and the clearest water here. Day anchorage in settled weather.

4. 4

   Zannone or Ponza west coast

   Zannone is a nature reserve; check what access is permitted.

5. 5

   Ventotene

   South-west; a Roman harbour cut into the rock and still in use.

6. 6

   Back toward the mainland — Gaeta or Anzio

   The return crossing.

7. 7

   Nettuno

   Short leg back for handover.
