Italy

Many cruising grounds within one country

Italy offers several distinct cruising grounds: Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda, the Bay of Naples and Amalfi Coast, Sicily and the Aeolian islands, the Italian Riviera, the Tuscan archipelago and the Adriatic. Each has its own season, character and berthing pattern.

A week is best spent in one region, with short passages and plenty of time at anchor. We help you choose the right one, then find the right yacht for it.

Choose your Italian cruising region

Liguria & Portofino

Portofino, Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera, a natural extension of a French Riviera charter.

Tuscan Archipelago

Elba, Giglio and Capraia: quieter islands and protected waters between the Riviera and Sardinia.

Southern Italy & Adriatic

Puglia and the Adriatic coast, sometimes linked with a crossing to Croatia or the Ionian.

Regions

Italy's main charter regions

Sardinia & Costa Smeralda

Most Italian superyacht summers centre on northern Sardinia: Porto Cervo, the Maddalena archipelago and the Strait of Bonifacio towards Corsica. Protected areas limit anchoring in places.

Sardinia yacht charter

Capri & the Amalfi Coast

The Bay of Naples combines Capri, Ischia, Positano and Amalfi within short distances. Mooring space in high summer is limited, so planning matters.

Amalfi Coast yacht charter

Sicily & the Aeolian Islands

Longer passages, volcanic landscapes and fewer yachts. Well suited to 10–14 day charters or guests who want something less expected.

Aeolian Islands yacht charter

The Italian Riviera

Portofino, Santa Margherita and the Cinque Terre. Often combined with Monaco and the French Riviera on one charter.

French Riviera yacht charter

The Tuscan Archipelago

Elba, Giglio and the smaller protected islands. A calmer alternative in high season and a useful link between Liguria and Sardinia.

Your yacht

Superyachts, motor, sailing and catamarans

Superyachts

Large yachts with bigger crews, tenders and toys. Berthing in Porto Cervo, Capri and Portofino is limited, so early planning helps.

Motor yachts

The most common choice for Italy: faster passages between islands and more time at anchor.

Sailing yachts

Well suited to Sardinia, Corsica and the Aeolians, where wind and distances reward sailing.

Catamarans

Stable, spacious and shallow-draft, useful for families and quieter anchorages.

For every guest

Families, couples and life ashore

Families

Short passages, sheltered bays and water toys. Sardinia and the Tuscan islands are often the easiest choice with children.

Couples

Smaller yachts, Capri or Positano at dusk, and restaurants reached by tender. Privacy comes first.

Food, culture & shore access

Italy's coast puts restaurants, towns and vineyards within tender reach. We request tables and visits on your behalf; nothing is guaranteed until confirmed.

Regional differences

Rates and running costs tend to be highest in peak weeks around Porto Cervo, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, where demand and mooring costs are highest. Sicily, the Aeolians and the Tuscan islands can offer more choice, particularly outside July and August.

Your total charter budget

The charter fee covers the yacht and crew. Add an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) for fuel, food, drinks and port fees, applicable Italian VAT (which depends on the yacht, contract and itinerary), and a customary crew gratuity at your discretion. We set out every element in writing before you sign.

Practicalities

Marinas, moorings and anchorages

Berths in Porto Cervo, Capri, Positano and Portofino are limited in high season and are often arranged well in advance. Many days are spent at anchor, with tenders ashore.

Protected areas, including the Maddalena archipelago and parts of the Tuscan and Aeolian islands, restrict anchoring and speed. Posidonia seagrass is protected, and captains anchor on sand or use permitted moorings. Rules change, so your captain plans within current regulations.

Timing & travel

When to go and getting to Italy

The season runs from about May to October. July and August are busiest; June and September are usually more comfortable and easier to arrange.

Fly on a private jet to Olbia, Naples, Genoa, Nice, Catania or Palermo and transfer directly to the yacht. We also arrange helicopter transfers and villas.
