How does a private boat charter from Ischia work?
Updated June 2026
A private boat charter from Ischia is a day rental of a boat with a professional skipper, departing from Ischia in the Bay of Naples. Two boats are available: the Itama 38 at €1,000 a day for up to 8 guests and the Itama 50 at €1,800 a day for up to 10. You book by sending a request and the BlueKeys concierge confirms availability — there is no instant online payment. By sea you can reach the Aragonese Castle, Sant'Angelo, the Maronti and Sorgeto thermal bays, Procida and, on a longer day, Capri.
Ischia is the largest island in the Bay of Naples, and its coastline only really makes sense from the water. A private charter lets you trace the whole volcanic perimeter in a single day: green slopes dropping into the sea, the silhouette of the Aragonese Castle on its rock, and a string of bays where warm thermal springs rise up through the seabed. With a skipper at the helm you decide where to swim, where to linger and when to drop anchor for lunch in a quiet inlet.
Two boats run from Ischia, both fast and comfortable Itama day cruisers. The Itama 38 takes up to 8 guests at €1,000 a day, while the larger Itama 50 carries up to 10 at €1,800 a day — enough range to reach Procida in twenty minutes or push on to Capri on a full day out. The skipper handles navigation, mooring and the local knowledge of where the water is calmest and the springs are warmest, so the whole group can simply enjoy the ride.
A day from Ischia suits couples after a slow afternoon at anchor, families who want easy swim stops, and groups marking an occasion. Because every charter includes a professional skipper, no boating licence is needed. You set the pace — a relaxed loop of the island and the thermal bays, the pastel harbour of Procida's Marina Corricella, or the longer crossing to Capri — and the skipper takes care of the rest.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book a private boat in Ischia?
Choose a boat and send a booking request through BlueKeys. Our concierge then checks availability for your date and confirms with you directly. There is no instant online payment — the request simply starts the conversation, and nothing is finalised until availability is confirmed.
Is a skipper included in the charter?
Yes. Both boats in Ischia come with a professional skipper who handles navigation, mooring and route planning. You decide the pace and the stops; the skipper takes care of running the boat safely throughout the day and knows where the water is calmest.
Is fuel included in the price?
It depends on the boat. Fuel and other inclusions vary between the Itama 38 and the Itama 50 and are shown on each listing, so check the individual boat's details when you send your request and the concierge will confirm them.
Do I need a boating licence?
No. A professional skipper is provided with every charter, so no licence or boating experience is required. You can simply relax on board while the skipper handles everything from departure to return.
How many guests can come, and where can we go?
The Itama 38 takes up to 8 guests and the Itama 50 up to 10. By sea from Ischia you can reach the Aragonese Castle, Sant'Angelo, the Maronti and Sorgeto thermal bays, Procida, and Capri on a longer day.
