Beyond the Amalfi coast & Capri, Italy has an extensive offer of charter itineraries that few have experienced. The Ulysses Riviera is one of the most beautiful locations along Italy's coastline and this is why you should let us include a stop over here on your next yacht charter.

This Ulysses Riviera marks the middle point between Rome and the Bay of Naples. Just like the island of Capri, has been known since Roman times. In fact, it is said that Emperor Tiberius would reach Capri by boat from his villa in Sperlonga, of which nowadays we can only see the ruins. Legend has it that he fled from Sperlonga to Capri one day after hearing suspicious sounds from his villa's basements and he never came back.

History around every corner and pristine, emerald waters

In Tiberius’ time, there was a main road along the sea named Via Flacca, that is still visibile nowadays (after the Roman official Lucius Valerius Flaccus, who built it in 184 BC). It connected the fishing village of Sperlonga and the slopes of the Aurunci Mountains that here descend to the Mediterranean. It is quiet of a unique characteristic, to be anchored near the coast and being able to see historical ruins from the Roman ages.

The authentic local life and off of the beaten path experience

So, what can you expect by stopping over here for a day visit or a couple of days before hopping to the Pontine islands? When asked for an off-of-the-beaten-path itinerary, we always include the Ulysses Riviera with stops in Terracina, Sperlonga, Fondi (for the kitesurfers, yes - kitesurf in Italy in Summer) and the country villages such as Abbazia di Fossanova. While we do not want to spoil many details that will ruin the WOW-Effect of our carefully planned yacht charter itineraries, please do enjoy the carousel of photos we have prepared to inspire you.
