Sailing Italy

With extensive coastline, Italy bareboat charters have  something to offer even the most experienced sailors. From chic resorts  in Capri to gorgeous views of Sardinia, erupting volcanoes in the  Aeolian Islands, the rich history of Rome, sandy beaches of Sicily and  the charming slow-paced life on the Amalfi Coast, whichever region you  choose for your sailing vacation each will be a unique adventure.

Being a center of international tourism, Italy is visited by over 50  million people each year. Experiencing Italy on a sailing vacation is a  great way to enjoy this wonderful, sunny country and make lasting  memories. Many find that one trip isn't enough, and will return again  and again to relax and soak up all that Italy has to offer.

Italian Cuisine

Apart from the exciting history, fashion and friendly people,  Italy is a country that is world famous for its delicious cuisine. Once  you charter a boat in Italy, make this trip an unforgettable experience  by exploring culture and traditional lifestyle through local foods. You  may dine in small marinas, stock up with seafood, try fantastic fruits  and vegetables in local markets, or lunch in casual waterside pizzerias  while sailing in Salerno or Naples. Discover Italy's famous gelato  ice-cream in Rome, or sample world renowned Tuscan wines while sailing  in Follonica, Piombino or Livorno.

Sailing in Italy is the best possible way to explore this gorgeous  country, as you can reach the most beautiful spots while avoiding  crowded tourist destinations. As is typical for much of the  Mediterranean, Italy's climate is mostly subtropical, with warm dry  summers and wet winters. The months of May through October are optimal  for a bareboat charter in Italy. During these months you can expect  moderate winds from 10 to 20 knots while average temperatures will range  from 70 to 90 F (20 to 30 C). July and August are the peak of the  summer season, with temperatures reaching up to 90 F (30 C) and warm  seas that can rise to a comfortable 75 F (24 C). This is a great time  for sailors with moderate skills to experience and explore the region.  The winter months can also be a wonderful time for a sailing trip in  Italy, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds.

Sailing Areas

There are 5 major areas in Italy with the highest concentration of  sailing yachts and catamarans for charter. 12 knots offers yacht  rentals in Salerno, as well as a large fleet of charter yachts in  Tropea, Follonica, Skarlino and Naples.

Naples bareboat charter, Amalfi Coast

Sheltered short passages and light breezes make this area ideal  for a relaxed sailing vacation. When taking a yacht charter in Italy  you must consider sailing along the beautiful Amalfi Coast. Most Italy  and Amalfi yacht charters begin in Naples. This city has distinct energy  - chaotic but beautiful. While it may feel daunting at first sight,  Naples will soon charm you with its hospitality and colorful culture.  From the Naples yacht charter base in southern Italy, you have an easy  gateway to Capri and the Amalfi coast.

In less than a day's passage from Naples you may reach the Amalfi  coastline that stretches from Sorrento to Salerno, the most stunning and  incomparable coastline of the Mediterranean. Beautiful hillside towns  with colorful terrace houses clinging to steep cliffs represent  authentic Italian architecture.

Salerno is the biggest yacht charter base in Italy that can boast a  long history dating back to the 4th century. One of the most popular  historical sites of this sailing destination is the Arechi Castle. Built  in the 6th century, this castle offers the best views of the entire  town of Salerno.

From there you may head to Capri, one of the most prestigious sailing  destinations. A reservation is necessary for a berth in the marina  beforehand, as this is a popular and busy place during the summer  season.

Yacht charters in Procida can be an alternative to Naples. Located in  the Bay of Naples, this relatively undiscovered and untouched island  can be easily reached by ferry. Procida has open access to the Amalfi  Coast and Pontine Islands.

Sailing Scarlino

This is another must visit destination for an Italian yacht  charter. This tiny town has cobblestone streets and is framed by hills  of ancient, silvery olive groves. From the top of the hill, opens a  breathtaking view of the harbor and beautiful coastline. Numerous  waterside cafes offer great places to sit and watch the glamorous  yachting world. Further down the Italian coast, you may sail to Elba,  the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, located only 6 miles from  Piombino. Elba has several coastal villages, all with the same  spectacular views of the seas. You may also like to stop and take a walk  along the streets of the island's  principal town – Portoferraio.

Boat rentals In Italy

A yacht charter in Italy requires a valid skipper's license.  The skipper must be at least 18 years of age (this is also a basic  requirement for obtaining a sailing license) and must carry their  license at all times during the vacation. A valid skipper's license will  allow you to sail along the coastline within 20 miles of the shore.

In order to charter a motor boat you will also need an official  permit allowing you to operate a power vessel with an engine over 40 hp.  Italian authorities recognize most of the International Certificates of  Pleasure Craft Operators.

Italians are very sensitive about the protection of their marine  reserves. You should keep in mind that it is forbidden to bring a yacht  close to the shore in protected areas (usually a minimum distance is 1  to 2 miles). In these areas it is also prohibited to fish, collect  seashells, sea plants, cruise on a boat with a working engine, anchor,  or practice any type of water sport. Italian protected areas are found  in Cinque Terre, the Tuscan Archipelago, Isole Tremiti, Miramar,  Maddalena Archipelago, Egadiysky Archipelago, the island of Ustica,  Porto Cesareo and Ventotene.

Italy is among the countries of the Schengen Agreement, and is a  member of EFTA. For citizens of the countries that are members of these  organizations, as well as for EU citizens, a valid passport is all that  is required to enter Italy. You are allowed to stay in the country for  up to 90 days.

Let us organise your perfect Italy yacht charter itinerary.

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Mediterranean – Italy / Capri – Amalfi Yacht Charters

Portofino | amalfi coast | capri | sardinia | sicily | monterosso naples | positano | tuscany | lipari | la spezia, mediterranean – italy / capri – amalfi yacht charter vacations.

Aristocrats have been spending their vacations in the Bay of Naples for thousands of years — ever since the Romans escaped the hustle and bustle of their capital.

This legendary Italian bay, overlooked by the volcanic peak of Mount Vesuvius, is a great starting point for experiencing the delights of the Amalfi Coast and visiting the chic destinations of Capri and Positano. The island of Capri has so much to offer – designer boutiques, elegant cafes and the most private and beautiful anchorages. Indeed, a superyacht is the best way to reach this exclusive retreat.

Cruise italy – italian glamour, wonderful food and quiet cruising grounds, all in one spectacular itinerary.

Heading north and west from Capri you reach the more remote islands of Ponza and Palmarola, with their ruggedly beautiful shores, quiet bays and few tourist sites. What they do have, though, are excellent restaurants, serving up truly authentic Italian food.

These islands offer the perfect respite, a welcome dose of solitude in between the buzz of Capri and the big city delights of Rome, which is where this itinerary finishes.

Take time to wander this amazing city, which is like an outdoor museum with all the historic monuments on display.

Naples to Capri

Your journey will begin in Italy’s third-largest city, Naples, located at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Meet your yacht at Sannazzaro Marina, close to Naples international airport, from where you will set sail for the Marina Grande on the isle of Capri.

Whether you choose to dine on board or onshore, the marina is just a short stroll from winding streets full of high-end shops and boutiques. La Piazzetta is the center of attention for the many international jet setters who visit the island every year.

Palmarola is one of the most charming islands in the Mediterranean. Enjoy a leisurely cruise through the island’s transparent blue waters while admiring its ruggedly handsome coastline dotted with grottoes, bays, and cliffs. The shallow crystal-clear waters of Palmarola’s south side are a bather’s paradise and the perfect place to stop for lunch. This is a wonderful area for snorkeling and exploring caves – followed by a fabulous meal and quiet night on board.

Cruising around Capri, the benefits of traveling by yacht are apparent: you’ll be able to visit parts of the island inaccessible by other means. Discover the Grotta Bianca, the Arco Naturale, the Faraglioni rocks and the bay of Marina Piccola.

Enjoy the quiet glamour of this lush island.

A one-hour cruise back towards the mainland brings you to Positano. Known as “the Gem of the Divine Coast,” Positano rises up almost vertically from the sea following the steep incline of the mountains. This may be the only place in the world where the panoramic view of the town is more beautiful than the seascape behind you (and yet another reason why a yacht is the best way to appreciate this coastline).

Spend the afternoon relaxing on the sundeck or try out the yacht’s water toys. Dine al fresco on board and enjoy the breathtaking views. While you sleep, your yacht will steam towards the remote islands of Italy’s Pontine archipelago, and you will awake at anchor between Palmarola and Ponza.

Visit Ponza, the largest of the Pontine Islands. It is well worth the trip. Encircled by dramatic coves and cliffs, the main town, with its colorful houses, is thought by many visitors to be a less spoilt version of Capri. The island’s main settlement is Porto di Ponza, around the harbor. Compared with some Italian islands, there aren’t many tourist sites or monuments on Ponza, but there are some excellent restaurants as well as a few options for late-night drinking and dancing. Overnight, the yacht will cruise on towards Rome.

Spend the last day of this gorgeous voyage in the Eternal City of Rome, where you can tour the many historic sites of the Italian capital. It’s also an ideal place to shop for Italian luxury items and dine at gourmet restaurants before finally heading back home, bidding Italy “ciao, Bella!”
