The Beauty of Being an Island
eMMecharter offers you the ideal sailing cruise to the Pontine Islands. Sun, sea, sails and good vibes! Jump on board and sail away with us!
“An island that has managed to remain an island. A microcosm of its own. Ponza is aloof and beautiful. Reserved, wary and never predictable. Among prickly pears, bougainvillea and bursts of broom, I lose myself in the beauty of its sunsets and find my paradise in its anchorages.”
Described in this way by great poets, Ponza is the main island of the Pontine archipelago. Here, rocky and sandy beaches, hidden coves, sea stacks and unspoilt crystal-clear waters come together in a single, extraordinary landscape.
Just to the east lies its not-quite-twin sister, Ventotene, where leisurely walks through the ancient Roman harbour carved into the rock reveal layers of history and the deep-rooted maritime traditions of this sea. To the west of Ponza is Palmarola — small, beautiful and wild. An uninhabited island whose bays offer a breathtaking display of natural colours and scents.
Between fun, sailing and relaxation, this is a holiday defined by wonder, shared with a welcoming boat ready to host you in complete comfort, allowing you to fully enjoy this corner of Mediterranean paradise.
