Luxury Yacht Charter Italy

On the Italian Riviera, take in the colourful buildings and laid-back pace of the Cinque Terre and Portofino, enjoying a walk through one of the region’s charming cliff top villages, then jump in a car or helicopter for a day trip to see the historical cities of Pisa or Florence.

In the summer months, many elect for a crewed yacht charter in Italy. As the perfect addition to any luxury yacht charter in the Mediterranean, Sardinia’s waters are bustling with visiting superyachts at anchor and within the marina of its main town of Porto Cervo, a honeypot for business magnates and global celebrities alike. Relax and be pampered in a world-class spa and then head out to Porto Cervo’s luxury boutiques or try a round of golf. Explore the island’s historical attractions including the town of Alghero, with its maze of alleyways packed with shops selling local produce and an abundance of medieval churches. By night, head to one of Porto Cervo’s stylish restaurants before hitting one of the lavish nightlife spots for which the town is known.

The peaceful and picturesque neighbour of lively Sardinia, Elba offers those on a luxury yacht charter in Italy; with the chance to get away from it all on this quaint island dotted with secluded beaches backing onto mountains and green forests. The island’s largest town is Portoferraio, with its fascinating 16th-century Medici fortress, great for a daytime tour, as well as Villa dei Mulini, Napoleon Bonaparte’s home while in exile in 1814.

A tour of the Amalfi Coast allows you to dial back the pace and relax at anchor while gem-hued waters lap at the vertiginous cliff-faces dotted with ancient towns. The classic Southern Italian charm of seaside towns like Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi have been preserved and are a highlight for many visiting superyachts. Inland excursions to stunning Ravello, perched 365 metres above the sapphire-blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, can include visits to the town’s famous cliffside gardens or an alfresco evening concert at the Moorish-style Villa Rufolo in the summer. And the island of Capri is an essential stop on many an Italian yacht charter itinerary, with its famous Blue Grotto cave, upscale luxury ateliers and boutique shops selling handmade leather goods, homemade limoncello and ceramics.

A short distance across the Tyrrhenian Sea takes you to Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean. Sicily’s capital Palermo brims with busy markets, art galleries and historical architecture that make a great day trip ashore for the family, while the island’s large choice of beautiful beaches along 1,000 kilometres of coastline will have you believing you are in the Caribbean. For more active and adventurous yacht charterers, a hike up the famous active volcano Stromboli will be on the bucket list.

Rent a yacht in Italy to explore Venice. Moor up right next to the famous St Mark’s Square and take in the rich history and architecture of one of Europe’s most enigmatic cities. Take a romantic trip by gondola or private water taxi to grand homes once inhabited by the likes of Byron or dine in authentic, hidden ostiaries. The city is also host to international events such as the Venice Biennial and the Venice Film Festival.

The main charter season in Italy falls between May and September, although the weather and water can still be warm enough to enjoy in October. Average temperatures in Italy range between highs of approximately 24C (75F) in May to 31C (87F) in August. The sea temperature in June is usually around 24C (74F), peaking at 26C (79F) in August.

On the Italian Riviera, Portofino is one of the most popular port towns for a superyacht visit. Moor up directly onto the edge of the town and walk off the lazarette directly into one of the authentic Italian restaurants or luxury boutiques.

The inimitable Porto Cervo is one of Italy’s most famous port towns and home to the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. With luxury facilities onsite and playing host to a range of regattas and sailing events throughout the summer, it is a hive of yachting activity.

Elba is a much quieter island retreat for cruising superyachts and its main port town is Portoferraio, which is able to cater to vessels of up to 65 metres in length. The town’s many historical attractions provide day trips ashore for the whole family.

The Amalfi Coast is mostly a destination for superyachts that stay at anchor with tender trips into the small fishing villages ashore, but the purpose-built Marina di Stabia to the south of Naples offers a good point of embarkation for any luxury superyacht charter in Italy.

Venice is a popular point of embarkation for an Adriatic yacht charter. With great international transport links, it offers a number of marinas for superyachts including Marina Vento di Venezia, Marina Fiorita and the Salute Mooring posts located directly in front of St Mark’s Square at the head of the Giudecca Canal.
