We will arrive around lunchtime after about 3 and a half hours of offshore navigation and we will anchor in front of the town and the black sand beach, between Ventotene and the island of S.

Afterwards, having cast off the mooring, we will visit the islet of S. Stefano where anyone who wants can visit the ancient and sadly famous Bourbon prison. The alternative will be to take a bath on wonderful backdrops. In the afternoon sailing tour of the whole of Ventotene. You will sleep at anchor in a quiet anchorage.
