Ports of Procida by Boat

Discover the ports of Procida by boat

The small island of Procida is one of the most underrated destinations in the Bay of Naples. Colourful houses, authentic fishing villages, local trattorias and wide sea views make it a perfect stop during a boat tour around Procida. Reaching the island by sea is the best way to appreciate its coastline and discover its three main harbours.

With a private boat excursion, you can sail from Ischia, Capri, Naples or the Amalfi Coast and stop in the most beautiful ports of Procida: Marina Grande, Marina di Chiaiolella and Marina della Corricella.

Marina Grande: the main port of Procida

Marina Grande is the main port of Procida and the island’s lively gateway. All ferries, hydrofoils, boat transfers and many private tours arrive here. As soon as you dock, you are welcomed by colourful facades, small fishing boats and the aroma of fresh bread and coffee from the bars on the waterfront.

This area is the economic and social heart of Procida: along the harbour you will find craft shops, bakeries, bars, pizzerias and restaurants that are loved by both locals and visitors. It is the ideal place to take a first walk, sit at a café overlooking the sea and feel the authentic atmosphere of everyday life on the island.

Marina di Chiaiolella: leisure marina and sunset views

Marina di Chiaiolella lies on a narrow strip of land, with a beach on one side and the harbour on the other. The port itself is small and charming, with a mix of fishing boats and yachts creating a relaxing, Mediterranean scene.

The harbour has been developed into a leisure marina, which becomes particularly lively on summer weekends when Italian families arrive with their boats to enjoy lunch or dinner in the local restaurants. From Chiaiolella you can take a short circular stroll along the water, passing beach cafés, simple beach clubs and small houses with vegetable gardens behind them. The atmosphere is informal and slightly rustic, but very authentic.

This side of the island is also famous for its sunsets over the marina, with the sky turning pink and orange behind the boats. It is the perfect place to stop your boat, have an aperitif on board or dock and enjoy an evening along the promenade.

Marina della Corricella: the most picturesque harbour

Marina della Corricella is probably the most picturesque and romantic spot in Procida. This thin strip of waterfront is backed by a cliff completely covered in fishermen’s houses, painted in pastel colours and built one on top of the other in a beautiful, vertical labyrinth.

Along the long fishing harbour you will find small boats, fishing nets drying under the sun and a row of bars and restaurants with tables directly on the waterfront. Despite its strong tourist appeal, Corricella has managed to preserve an authentic feel: fishermen work on their boats while locals chat in front of their doors, creating a unique atmosphere.

This is an ideal place for a lazy lunch or a romantic dinner by the sea, with the sound of the waves in the background. The village is not directly served by buses and requires climbing steps to leave, so arriving by boat is the most comfortable and scenic option.

Boat tours and private transfers to Procida

The best way to experience all three ports of Procida is by choosing a private boat tour. Sailing around the island gives you the freedom to stop for swimming, explore hidden coves and dock in Marina Grande, Chiaiolella or Corricella according to your plans.

Ischia Charter Boat provides private boat transfers from Capri, Ischia, Naples and the Amalfi Coast directly to Procida’s ports. You can organise a half-day or full-day excursion, combine Procida with nearby islands, or plan a tailor-made itinerary focused on food, beaches or panoramic views.

The sea, local cuisine and green landscapes are what make Procida a perfect escape in the Bay of Naples. Leave your worries behind, step on board and start planning your next boat trip to discover the unforgettable ports of Procida.
