About the experience

An Untold Story
Most travelers see the coast; few understand its soul. Our journey follows the "Salt & Silk Route," the ancient maritime path used by Sorrentine merchants and Roman nobles. We avoid the crowded "tourist highways" to show you the coastline’s silent side.

Access the Inaccessible
While others pass by, we dive deep. We will take you to the Grotta di Minerva, nestled under the cliffs of Punta Campanella, where an ancient temple once stood. We’ll explore the Spiaggia delle Grotte, hidden sea caves near Marciano that remain a secret to 90% of visitors. Thanks to our boat’s nimble design, we anchor where the "big boats" can only dream of reaching.

The Ritual of the 'Marenna'
Food is our language. You won’t just get "snacks." You will partake in the ritual of the Marenna—not just a meal, but a piece of history. Imagine hand-stretched mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and local oil, served while drifting in the silence of the Crapolla Fjord, where the ancient Romans built their retreats.

Matchless Intimacy
This experience is built for those who hate "mass tours." We speak the language of the sea and the traditions of our grandfathers. Whether it’s the mystery of the Vervece Rock or the legends of the Li Galli silk merchants, your captain transforms the horizon into a living history book.

The Advantage: Our Specialized Coastal Vessel
To truly discover the secrets of the Amalfi Coast, you must go where others cannot. Our vessel has been specifically chosen for its agile design and shallow draft, allowing us to navigate the coastline’s most intimate corners with surgical precision. While larger tour boats are forced to remain hundreds of yards offshore, we glide directly into the heart of the Grotta di Minerva and anchor in the shallow, emerald basins of the Marciano caves.

This specialized maneuverability means you spend less time looking from a distance and more time immersed in the water. We can tuck into tiny, secluded fjords like Crapolla or dock in the smallest fishing harbors, ensuring your experience is defined by closeness, silence, and unparalleled access to the Mediterranean’s hidden gems.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Marina di Stabia
Baths of Queen Giovanna (The Roman Gateway)
Start your journey at the ruins of a 1st-century Roman villa. This natural emerald pool was the private retreat of nobility, accessible only through a narrow cliff opening that we navigate with ease.
Marciano & Caves Beach
Discover the "Secret Caves" of Marciano. While large boats pass by, our agile hull allows us to glide into these shallow sea caverns, where the light plays on the rocks in a dance of turquoise and silver.
The Vervece Rock (The Silent Guardian)
A stop at this legendary islet, a protected sanctuary crowned by a statue of the Virgin Mary submerged 12 meters deep. It’s a place of profound silence and crystal-clear waters, perfect for a contemplative swim.
Punta Campanella & Minerva Cave
The climax of the "Salt Route." We anchor at the very tip of the Peninsula, beneath the site of the ancient Temple of Athena. Here, we explore the mystical Minerva Grotto, a spot steeped in 3,000 years of maritime myth.
The Merchant's Bay
A pristine, FAI-protected oasis. This was the ancient lookout point for ships returning from the East. We linger in these silent, protected waters for a swim with a front-row view of Capri’s Faraglioni.
Crapolla Fjord
We tuck into this narrow, deep natural fjord. Accessible only by sea or a 700-step path, it houses the ruins of an ancient temple and a Roman villa. It’s the perfect, secluded spot for our "Marenna Ritual."
Nerano & the Li Galli View
We conclude by cruising past the sophisticated fishing village of Nerano, looking out toward the Li Galli islands, once the legendary home of the Sirens and silk merchants, before a slow, scenic return.
