For foodie-travellers looking to discover Italy’s best kept culinary secrets, Sunsail has launched a specialist Italian Cuisine Ponza Flotilla by SailEATtalia.

With departures available from July, guests will be taken on a gastronomic adventure, setting sail along the Amalfi Coast to the Pontine Islands to uncover Italy’s 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.

Then it is a short crossing towards Ischia on the second day 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 head towards the island of Ventotene, stopping in the harbour of Porto Romano to enjoy a traditional meal in one of the local restaurants. On day four, the flotilla makes its way to Ponza, renowned for its unspoiled beaches, blue caves and shipwrecks.

Before sailing back to Ischia, there is a visit to the 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.

Caroline Barbour, UK marketing manager for Sunsail, said: “The most sociable way to tour the Amalfi Coast, this flotilla holiday is perfect for foodies looking to meet like-minded people and to enjoy a unique and memorable experience.

“A flotilla is a great option for all experience levels, as you will be sailing alongside other yachts following an expert lead boat, which has crew on board to help with any problems, day or night, with as much independent exploration as the heart desires. You do not need to have sailed before to go on a Sunsail holiday as there is the option to hire a skipper, which is ideal for those new to sailing or who would prefer a helping hand.”

Prices for a one-week Italian Cuisine Ponza Flotilla, departing 22 July 2023, start from £3,171 based on two people and includes a fully equipped Sunsail 311 yacht, flotilla fee, support from a lead yacht, assistance with moorings at each stop and marine park permit. At each daily morning briefing, the lead crew advises on the day’s sailing, ideal routes, weather conditions and hidden gems to discover.
