HOW TO BOAT LIKE A LOCAL IN ISCHIA

If you haven't seen Ischia from the water, you haven't seen Ischia. Period. It is a total game-changer, and honestly, the best vibes you’ll have all trip. In my Itineraries section, you’ll find the perfect route mapped out so you don’t miss any hidden caves or crystal-clear spots.

You have two ways to do this:

1. Be your own captain: Rent a gommone (RIB boat). You can get one with a skipper if you want to just chill, or without a license if you want to drive it yourself.

2. The Organized Tour (The Local Experience): If you want to join a group, I have the ultimate plug. Forget those overcrowded, 'tourist trap' boats. You need to go with Antonio. He runs a small group tour that is literally incredible, it’s super intimate, includes snorkeling stops, and he serves actual traditional Ischian sea food on board. The atmosphere is 10/10.

Pro Tip: To make sure you don't get ripped off with crazy prices, I’ve vetted the best rentals for you. For a private boat without a group, my go-to contacts are Nausicaa Rent and New Age Noleggio (Nautica Morgera). They are super reliable and fair.

Whatever you choose, check the itineraries first so you know exactly where to drop anchor!
