SUNSAIL LAUNCHES SPECIALIST ITALIAN CUISINE PONZA FLOTILLA

For foodie-travellers looking to discover Italy’s best kept culinary secrets, Sunsail, the global yacht charter company that offers sailing holidays to first time sailors and experienced adventurers, launches a specialist Italian Cuisine Ponza Flotilla by SailEATtalia for the 2023 season.

With departures available from July 2023, guests will be taken on a gastronomic adventure, setting sail along the sun-soaked Amalfi Coast to the Pontine Islands to uncover Italy’s delightfully authentic and local cuisine.

The flotilla begins in the glamourous port town of Procida, with picture perfect pastel houses and indigo seas. Guests will be given a warm Italian welcome with drinks and a pizza party. A short crossing towards Ischia on the second day takes guests to the port town of Forio.

The artisanal restaurant on the side of the mountain provides a breath-taking backdrop to sample wines from the traditional wine cellar.

From there sailors will head towards the island of Ventotene, stopping in the harbour of Porto Romano. In the evening guests will enjoy a traditional meal in one of the local restaurants. On day four, the flotilla will make its way to Ponza, an island rich in history dating back to the Egyptians, renowned for its unspoiled beaches, blue caves, and shipwrecks, it is ideal for diving enthusiasts.

Before sailing back to Ischia, the group will visit uninhabited Palmarola. With a rugged landscape and hidden caves, and thriving flora and fauna, this island is an idyllic destination for exploration, diving, and swimming. In Ischia there will be plenty of free time to stroll round the artisan boutiques before visiting one of the oldest wineries of the island, where guests can indulge in traditional Italian cuisine.
