Amalfi Coast

To experience the Mediterranean sea and landscape in its purest form, Italy’s Amalfi Coast offers a complete superyacht adventure perfect for exhilarating yet laid-back charters.
Stretching from the Gulf of Naples down to the Gulf of Salerno, the Amalfi Coast boasts picturesque coastal cliffs which cut a dramatic scene overlooking the azure Mediterranean waters. This is a favourite destination for superyachts which provides an ideal balance of luxury escapes, historical discovery and pure maritime harmony. The lifestyle and culture of the Italian towns you will encounter along your charter all radiate with a relaxed atmosphere that will send you into utter bliss. Guests will enjoy the thrill of sampling authentic Italian tastes, exploring the jaw-dropping scenery and sailing the stunning coastline and surrounding cruising grounds.
Then typical Mediterranean climate of the Amalfi Coast is perfectly suitable for days spent onboard your superyacht, with summer temperatures ranging between 28 and 33 Celsius while a gentle sea breeze keeping you feeling fresh.
Breath-taking natural features found all along the coastline make this area of the Mediterranean a captivating adventure for superyachts. From the exclusivity of your yacht, you will sail past fjords, imposing limestone cliffs, ancient ruins, and colourful towns. You will create lasting memories as you enjoy the pleasures of a private charter in this constantly awe-inspiring scenery.
One of the greatest delights that can be found along the Amalfi Coast is the majestic small island of Capri. Capri is a destination which goes hand in hand with the exclusivity of a superyacht charter. This island is a polished gem that sparkles with high-end boutique shopping, exquisite low-profile restaurants and incredible natural beauty. Surrounded by an electric blue sea, Capri is a feast for discovery. Guided tours around the island will showcase her unique rock formation that throws up countless picture-perfect sites including the Arco Naturale and Blue Grotto. Discovering the island by superyacht will grant you access to areas that simply cannot be reached by other visitors.


Napoli is a truly unique cultural and historical experience, a stop-off which will enrichen your travels with ancient Roman discoveries and fine Italian dining. While in Napoli, guests should most certainly explore the ancient ruins of Pompeii, where the eruption of Mount Vesuvius has perfectly preserved the Roman town. Walking through the ruins can be as harrowing as it is fascinating, as you gain an insight into Roman civilisation while also seeing the inhabitants’ last moments before 13 to 20 feet of volcanic ash covered the town. This is an example of the unique and enriching experiences that can be found along the way during your voyage through the Amalfi Coast.
The rugged coastline of Positano is a dramatic vertical panorama of colours. A short sail from Napoli, Positano is a delightful Mediterranean experience with a bright town made up of white, pink and yellow houses to create a relaxing atmosphere which suits its welcoming and peaceful culture. The Monti Lattari mountain range boasts scenic, fertile lands with peaks surpassing 1000 metres high. This is an enthralling experience for those who wish to hike the regional park, or even for those who enjoy the inspiring scenery from the comfort of their yacht. The Amalfi Coast has unique experiences and activities in abundance, and chartering a superyacht through the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters will create lasting memories. The sheer cliffs and rugged shorelines harbour fascinating cultural towns which create a quintessential destination for luxury superyachts to explore. For an Italian adventure, the Amalfi Coast offers everything needed for superyacht charters.
