Overview
This is a private passage from the coast near Rome, into the Pontine Islands: Ponza and Palmarola.
Two of Italy’s most striking and least commercialized islands. If the Amalfi Coast is Italy at its most celebrated, Ponza is Italy at its most discreet: volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, and pristine clear water. Ponza is also known for its pastel houses stacked above the harbor, framing the port like a painting.
You will sail aboard Sea Prince (1953), a historic yacht built by Abeking & Rasmussen and designed by Philip L. Rhodes. Onboard, our Chief Cook prepares Lazio Region delicacies and wines. At anchor, you reach bays and locations that remain inaccessible to visitors. This is made possible by a generational Ponza Island local accompanying the journey.
Reserved exclusively for your group (max 8 guests), this is a private crossing into a rarer Italy.
