Yacht Charters in Italy

Yacht Charters Along Italy's Magnificent Coast

Italy's 7,600 kilometers of coastline offer some of the Mediterranean's most dramatic and culturally rich sailing. From the vertical villages of the Amalfi Coast to Sardinia's emerald waters, Italian sailing combines natural beauty with world-class cuisine and centuries of maritime heritage.

The Amalfi Coast and Bay of Naples

No coastline is more dramatic than the Amalfi Coast – vertical villages clinging to cliffs, lemon terraces, and hidden coves. Base in Naples or Sorrento to explore Capri's Blue Grotto, Positano's pastel cascade, and the volcanic island of Ischia.

Anchoring can be challenging with deep water close to shore and limited swing room, but the spectacle is worth the effort. Don't miss dining at a waterside restaurant in Positano or swimming under Capri's famous Faraglioni rocks.

Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda

Sardinia offers the Mediterranean's clearest waters – the Costa Smeralda's emerald bays must be seen to be believed. The Maddalena archipelago, a protected marine park, offers perfect anchorages among granite islands.

Porto Cervo attracts the superyacht crowd, but just beyond lies wild coastline and authentic Sardinian villages. Cross to Corsica (France) for a true two-nation adventure.

Sicily and the Aeolian Islands

The Aeolian Islands north of Sicily offer volcanic drama – sail past smoking Stromboli at night to see lava flowing into the sea. Lipari provides the main marina, while Panarea draws the chic crowd and Salina produces the best capers and Malvasia wine.

Tuscany and the Tuscan Archipelago

Elba, Napoleon's exile island, anchors the Tuscan archipelago. Combine history with excellent swimming at beaches like Fetovaia, then sail to tiny Giglio and exclusive Giannutri.
