Yacht Charter Pontine Islands
Pontine Islands is an archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea of volcanic origin. The call of their beauty, crystal clear waters, marinas and an excellent welcome make these fishing islands a popular destination for fun on board a yacht.
There are six islands: Gavi, Zannone, Palmarola, Ventotene, Santo Stefano and the largest, Ponza, from which the archipelago takes its name.
Magnificent islets, where the development of tourist accommodation is attentive to every need, but where nature, sea and landscape are always protagonists.
The most important island is Ponza: rocky and sandy beaches, natural arches, stacks, pristine sea, romantic coves where to moor and a magnificent rocky and hilly landscape. Do not miss the visit of the village: alleys, craft shops, typical restaurants, magnificent houses with barrel roofs and simple facades painted with pastel colors overlooking the port. Among the most famous beaches, the sandy and clear beach of Chiaia di Luna, that of Lucia Rosa, loved for its sunsets, the bay of Cala Fèola with natural pools, and the beach of Frontone, where many go with small boats for an aperitif.
But in addition to the beaches, the Pontine Islands offer a magnificent marine spectacle, much appreciated by divers.
The submerged isthmus that joins Ponza to Zannone is fantastic. The seabed instead holds ancient treasures: from Roman ships to wrecks of steamers sunk during the last war.
Ventotene: a small jewel, a few houses, gathered around the port, and an ancient history of a place of confinement ranging from the members of the Roman imperial families to the opponents of fascism. Today Ventotene, together with the island of Santo Stefano, forms a beautiful nature reserve and a Marine Protected Natural Area.
Palmarola is also a nature reserve. Features the houses carved into the rock, the only ones present here, as well as a small restaurant located on the beach. The unspoiled nature also surrounds Zannone, the northernmost of the islands, which for its naturalistic importance, since 1979 has been included in the Circeo National Park. The island, uninhabited, was the seat of a Cistercian monastery of which important ruins remain.
Finally, the tiny island of Gavi, totally devoid of beaches, has rocks that emerge along the jagged coast and a single cave: “the grottone di Gavi “.
A holiday aboard a yacht (sailing, motor, catamaran) – an unforgettable experience and to be repeated.
