8 days 7 nights Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter Itinerary

The journey on the Amalfi coast starts from the Naples International Airport (Naples Capodichino Airport). Naples, the largest city in Southern Italy, is the first luxury charter yacht exploration port on the Amalfi coast. You can explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites -the Church of Santa Chiara and the Castel Nuovo– and enjoy the local cuisine.

Even though Procida is the smallest island among the three islands of the Gulf of Naples, it has great things to offer for luxury yacht charterers- a colorful Mediterranean landscape to gaze at, the sail around the coastline with ancient Terra Murata, and the Marina Grande waterfront.

For those on a yacht charter equipped with scuba gear, The Sunken City of Baiae offers a unique and mesmerizing underwater exploration experience. Baiae dates back to the Roman Empire and was once a luxurious resort town renowned for its fancy villas, thermal baths, and grand architecture. Over time, due to volcanic activity, a significant portion of the city sank beneath the sea, now providing this fantastic and unique underwater archaeological site.

Anchor at Capri’s southern Marina Piccola, right behind the Faraglioni, and discover the lemon trees on the mountainside from your yacht. With a private yacht charter, you can find a secluded cove, have a swim, or roam the town for luxury vistas and cafes.

Capri is an island located off the tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula. It is one of the top destinations for yacht charters in this area and should not be missed. The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is one of Capri’s most iconic natural attractions. This sea cave is renowned for its mesmerizing blue color, created by the sunlight filtering through an underwater cavity. Another huge attraction is the iconic sea stacks, known as the Faraglioni rocks, rising dramatically from the sea. Boat tours often take you through the arch of the Faraglioni for a memorable experience.

Capri town itself offers high-end shopping, fine dining, and a lively atmosphere. Explore the ruins of Villa Jovis, an ancient Roman villa, perched on the eastern cliffs of Capri. Built by Emperor Tiberius, it offers stunning views of the Gulf of Naples.

All boat tours to Blue Grotto are led by an expert local skipper who knows the coastline intimately and can share insider history and anecdotes about Capri for an unforgettable trip!

Indulge yourself in the La Dolce Vita feel while sailing back to the mainland to Sorrento, an impossibly picturesque little town, the mythological site of the Odyssey’s Sirens.

Cruise to Marina del Cantone, a small hidden gem at the old fishing village of Nerano, with a beautiful pebbled beach and many beach bars as well as a few Michelin-starred restaurants.

Consult your yacht charter for a private tour of Mount Vesuvius and the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Marina del Cantone’s pebbled beach is hard to reach by bus and ferry. The result of this is that it’s less crowded than nearby beaches, and thus more exclusive. Enjoy this secludedness on your private yacht charter.

Located on the other side of the peninsula, Positano offers some of the best views from a yacht on your Amalfi coast yacht charter. Here you will see ancient Roman villas, with a stunning mountainous backdrop, and its luscious vegetation.

You can customize your yacht charter itinerary and anchor near Grotta dello Smeraldo. Also known as Emerald Grotto, this magical cave offers quite a beautiful sight when the sunlight filters through the turquoise water into the grotto through underwater openings. It is home to an underwater nativity scene made up of ceramic statues, and every year at Christmas divers place flowers at the tableau.

Sunbathe and relax at Fornillo Beach (its name derives from the fact that ancient Romans baked bread in stone ovens there) – rather than the crowded main beach Spiaggia Grande- for a calm and serene experience. From there, you can avoid the stairs and reach the mountaintop with cable cars for a breathtaking aerial view of Positano.

Located on the central Amalfi Coast, Amalfi Town is a must-visit on an Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter. The town borders the Gulf of Salerno and is characterized by steep cliffs along its rugged coastline. The town is known for its dramatic coastal setting, with colorful buildings climbing up the steep slopes and overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Amalfi is renowned for its historical and cultural sites, notably the 9th-century Cathedral of St. Andrew. Beyond coastal charm, the region offers inland adventures with several popular trekking routes. The Path of Gods trail from Agerola to Positano is a highlight, along with hikes to Valle delle Ferriere’s waterfalls, and Monte Faito where you will get the most amazing panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento Peninsula.

From here you can also visit Ravello, a beautiful town perched high above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ravello is surrounded by lush gardens, terraced vineyards, and lemon groves, and offers stunning panoramic views of the coastline.

One of Ravello’s most iconic landmarks is Villa Rufolo, a historic villa known for its beautiful gardens. The villa dates back to the 13th century and has been a source of inspiration for many artists and writers. The annual Ravello Festival, featuring classical music concerts, takes place in the gardens of Villa Rufolo.

Amalfi has a port called Porto di Amalfi, where yachts of various sizes can moor. Dock your charter yacht at Amalfi and enjoy a land excursion to Ravello.

Salerno is the center point of a triangle nicknamed Tourist Triangle of the 3 P’s (namely a triangle with the corners being Pompei, Positano, and Paestum). The latter is a popular seaside resort with long sandy beaches, as well as famous Greek ruins including three of the best preserved ancient temples.

In the heart of Salerno Old Town, well worth a visit is Minerva’s Garden, with many rare plants and flowers of therapeutic (used as medicine in the Middle Ages) as well as ornamental value, such as the luscious rose beds.

• If you are a golfing enthusiast, the place to be is the Golf Club Salerno. The club terrain is flat, so it is perfect for amateur golfers as well.

Cruising back to Naples port for the nearby Naples International airport is the longest sailing of this yacht charter. Cruising through the Mediterranean waters, you can enjoy the beautiful coastline, greenery, picturesque little villages perched on the rocky coast, and the calmness of the sea for one last time.

The Gulf of Naples on the way back to the city’s busy port offers amazing scenery as well as the opportunity to re-visit some of the best places you have seen, perhaps accompanied by dolphins frolicking along the yacht’s bow.

Enjoy the crewed yacht’s luxury amenities and local cuisine prepared and served on board, al fresco, before making the final port.

Drop anchor and indulge in water activities such as swimming, jet skiing or snorkeling if you don’t have to rush to catch a flight- or you can sunbathe on the yacht’s deck while enjoying the picture-perfect scenery.

You should ask for the yacht charter service for a short transfer to the airport by car. Also, Covid-19 regulations have been revoked so you don’t need to do an RTPCR or antigen test 72 hours before leaving the country.
