Why the fleet comes here
- Naples
- Molo Luise and Mergellina — the mainland base for the whole bay
- Capri
- The Faraglioni, Marina Grande and the most crowded anchorage in Italy in August
- Ischia
- Thermal water, the Aragonese castle, and more berths than Capri
- Sorrento
- Marina Piccola under the cliff, opposite Naples
- Positano
- No harbour at all — the whole town is tendered to from the anchorage
- Amalfi
- The old maritime republic, and the only real harbour on its own coast
- Ravello
- Above Amalfi, and the reason half the fleet stops there
- Praiano
- Between Positano and Amalfi, with the anchorage off Marina di Praia
- Procida
- Marina Corricella, the most painted harbour in the bay
- Li Galli
- The Sirens’ islets off Positano, once Rudolf Nureyev’s
- Nerano
- Marina del Cantone, and the restaurants the tenders queue for
- Faraglioni
- The three rocks off Capri, and the traditional pass between them
