WHERE WE OPERATE
Our school is located in Procida, one of the most picturesque islands in the Mediterranean with the Corricella, a UNESCO heritage site. Procida is just a few miles from Ischia, the largest of the Neapolitan islands and so-called "green island" for the beauty of its landscape, its enchanting beaches, vineyards and lush pine forests. A few more miles and we are at the wonderful Capri, which needs no introduction.
From Procida our navigation itineraries during the RYA courses take us to other beauties such as the Pontine islands, among which Ventotene stands out which with its volcanic coasts tells us the story from the daughter of the emperor Augustus up to today with the formation of the community European; Santo Stefano, with the Bourbon prison, the first example of the panopticon; Ponza and Palmarola, also without the need for an introduction. Alternatively, the long navigation of the RYA courses takes us towards the Amalfi coast, with our instructors who, with their narrations, bring to life all the already splendid corners of the coast that we meet. Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi are jewels which, seen from the sea, acquire an even more particular charm.
Few schools can boast the good fortune of navigating among natural beauties that the whole world envies us!
