The anchorages on Ischia:

Location 

Castello d’Ischia is an anchorage located on the NE coast of the island and takes its name from Aragonese Castle perched on top of the hill. The islet is connected to the mainland by a causeway and is one of the most popular attractions on the island of Ischia. At night, the lights from the castle create a beautiful sight from the water.

Navigation 

It is possible to anchor on either side of the island according to the wind. Beware of the rocky shoals of Scoglio di Sant’ Anna, located S of the causeway. The southern side is preferred for shelter. The bottom provides good holding in 4-8m and is sand, mud and weed. In the summer, the area can be busy with bathers and certain parts are fenced off. When arriving later in the day, figuring out the right spot to go to can be a bit complicated. Keep in mind that anchoring is prohibited on the S side of the bay where underwater cables run. The frequent traffic from boats can create a noticeable roll.
