Yacht Charter Amalfi Coast
Crewed yacht charter along the Amalfi Coast — day cruises and week-long itineraries.
Fifty kilometres of cliff between Salerno and the tip of the Sorrentine peninsula, and the strongest argument for chartering anywhere in Italy: almost everything worth seeing on this coast faces the sea, and a good half of it cannot be reached from the road at all.
A day, or a week
A day charter from Salerno, Amalfi or Positano covers a generous stretch — the villages, a swimming cove, lunch aboard or at a beach restaurant that only takes arrivals by sea.
A week lets the coast open properly: Capri and Ischia to the west, the Cilento to the south, and time to stop rather than pass. Our sailing yachts and catamarans are set up for exactly that, fully crewed.
What the week is actually paced around
The summer wind here is thermal: it fills in around midday, builds through the afternoon and drops at dusk. That is why an experienced crew cruises in the morning, anchors and swims through the middle of the day, and goes ashore in the evening.
Guests who let the crew set that rhythm consistently have a better week than those who arrive with a fixed hour-by-hour plan. It is the single most useful thing to know before booking.

Good to know
Questions we are asked about the Amalfi Coast
- Is it better to charter a yacht for a day or a week on the Amalfi Coast?
- A day gets you the villages, a swim and a lunch — enough to see why people come. A week lets you add Capri, Ischia and the Cilento, and to stay in an anchorage rather than passing through it.
- Which port should we leave from?
- Salerno has the easiest road and rail access and the most straightforward provisioning. Positano and Amalfi are more scenic but have limited berthing. We match the port to your yacht and your arrival.
- When is the best time of year?
- Late May to early July, and September. The water is warm, the light is good, and the anchorages are not full by eleven in the morning as they are in August.
