Rich cultural attractions, breathtaking nature, and delicious gastronomy. These are just a few of the many things that await you on your catamaran rental in Italy. Whether you are looking for a tranquil family holiday in Tuscany or a sporty trip across the wild and energetic Sicilian waters, there is something for everyone. The 7,600-kilometre-long coastline is a true sailor’s paradise. You can discover the compelling history of the Mediterranean country in a new medium as you navigate along the sparkling waters of the open sea.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in Italy?

Many factors contribute to the overall cost of a catamaran charter in Italy, such as the size of the vessel, the seasonality and the duration of your rental. Therefore, it is best to use the filters on Scansail to help narrow down your search and find what you need. In general, you can expect a catamaran rental in Italy for 10 people to be around €7,740 per week during the low season and €16,320 a week during the high season.

What is the best time to visit Italy?

Italy is a large country with diverse ranges in climatic conditions. For instance, the north of the country has harsh winters with snow and freezing temperatures and mild summers. However, southern Italy such as Sicily or Sardinia has mild winters and very long, hot summers. Therefore, there is no specific time of year that is always good for a catamaran rental. This being said, if you prefer temperatures of around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, we recommend chartering your catamaran from June to September.

Should I rent a catamaran with or without a skipper?

As you search through the catamarans in Italy, you will find that many of them come with the option of including a skipper. Although it is possible to charter a catamaran without a skipper, they can bring many benefits to your overall sailing experience. For instance, a professional skipper can take care of all the sailing, docking, and anchoring of the catamaran, leaving you with more time to focus on relaxing and enjoying the views. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the region, so they can adjust the sailing route to your liking, showing you all Italy has to offer.

What to do in Italy?

There are so many places to discover in Italy, so we have compiled a few recommendations for your perfect catamaran charter around the beautiful Mediterranean country.

The Amalfi Coast

Start your catamaran journey on the Amalfi Coast and be inspired by the Italian atmosphere around the Campania Islands. This area is considered one of Italy's most beautiful coastal regions and an attractive area for sailors. The picturesque fishing villages and green cliffs provide a dreamy backdrop as you glide through the water. Ashore, you must explore the bustling city of Naples, the active volcano Vesuvius and the historic archaeological site of Pompeii.

One of the most popular sailing destinations in Italy is the Tuscan Archipelago, consisting of the islands of Elba, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio, Gorgona, Giannutri and Pianosa. The various islands form the National Park of the Tuscan Islands, the largest marine park in Europe. In particular, the island of Elba is a must-see destination in Tuscany. Despite its popularity, here you will usually be able to find an idyllic mooring or a secluded bay. The region around Elba is also a good starting point for hiring a catamaran for beginners, thanks to its moderate winds and easy sailing.

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, offers a spectacular experience in contact with nature thanks to its impressive cliffs, beautiful sandy beaches and views of Mount Etna. This is an ideal place to charter a catamaran in Italy with its good sailing winds, hidden bays and numerous islets. While the northern coast consists mainly of rocks, the south boasts sandy beaches and to the east the active volcano Etna, some 3,300 metres high. When you want to disembark from your catamaran, you can visit many Greek and Roman ruins on the island and immerse yourself in the life of exciting cities such as Palermo, Messina, Catania or Taormina.

Nearby Sicily is the slightly smaller island of Sardinia. With its various sailing areas, this island is suitable for beginners and experienced sailors alike. Sardinia, which is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Sardinian Sea, is famous for its Costa Smeralda: an extraordinarily beautiful stretch of coastline with crystal-clear waters that change colour from emerald green to deep blue. This stretch of coastline is very popular and well-developed for nautical tourism. The most popular destinations are the Maddalena archipelago and Porto Cervo, a meeting place for the international jet set in Sardinia.

Charter with us and be happy!

Since a catamaran yacht has more room, it makes you feel like you are at home. This is due to several factors, the most important of which is the hull shape. It also gives you an opportunity to discover something new and have an amazing adventure on a catamaran yacht of your choice. Heads and showers are separated, and cabins provide enough room for spacious and comfortable master beds. Almost all the catamarans have 6 to 4 cabins, and some have up to 8 cabins, but we also have owner’s versions that have 3 cabins (one cabin plus a bathroom in one hull). We can offer catamarans in Italy for 10 passengers plus the crew. With a width from 30 ft they are a sailing luxury four bedrooms apartments! Children  can be on the deck without any worry that they could fall overboard when the boat is leaning; let your friends sunbathe while you sail the boat by yourself, or better yet, let the skipper do it. Although the principles of sailing are the same for both, catamarans and monohull yachts are both more stable and faster.

If you want amazing sailing comfort, exceptional stability, and great speed, a catamaran is the right choice for you. Another advantage of renting a catamaran is that it is easier to navigate on the sea than sailing or motor yachts. They have really shallow drafts, so you can go where monohulls cannot go. Charter a catamaran in Italy and find beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, and hospitable people.

The stability of a catamaran comes from its wide beam and length. Another great advantage is that they are wider than monohulls.

Catamarans for rent in Italy are the ideal vessels for people searching for a luxury, stable cruise or for people searching for fun, fast sailing.

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.

About Italy

Why is Italy a good sailing destination?

With a coastline that meanders through the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy stands as a sailor’s dream. Yachting.Rent believes that Italy’s allure isn’t just rooted in its geography but also in its rich tapestry of culture, history, and nature which makes it a prime sailing destination.

From the rugged cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the serene waters surrounding Sardinia, Italy offers a diverse sailing landscape. Each region unfurls its distinct charm, ensuring that every journey feels like a new adventure. The Ligurian Sea enchants with places like Cinque Terre, a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera. Further south, the Tyrrhenian Sea is dotted with islands, such as Elba and Capri, which beckon sailors with their mystique. On the Adriatic side, destinations like Venice offer a unique maritime experience, navigating the city’s famed canals. With such varied coastlines and marine topographies, Italy is an endless playground for both novice and experienced sailors.

However, Italy’s appeal isn’t just its natural beauty. It’s the intertwining of this beauty with the nation’s rich cultural and gastronomical offerings. Anchoring in Sicilian ports can lead to a culinary journey tasting authentic Arancini or Cannoli. In Tuscany, sailors can venture inland to experience some of the world’s most renowned vineyards. Every port, every harbor in Italy tells a story – be it of ancient Roman civilizations, Renaissance art, or modern Italian lifestyle. This blend of sailing with immersive experiences is what Yachting.Rent champions, ensuring that when you set sail in Italy, it’s not just a trip on the water but a journey through the very soul of the Mediterranean.

But with Yachting.Rent, before setting sail on this Mediterranean masterpiece, comes an enticing choice: a classic sailing boat or a luxurious catamaran? Both vessels promise unique experiences tailored to the Italian seascape.

Sailing Boat: Embracing Italy’s Nautical Heritage Choosing a sailing boat is akin to stepping into Italy’s rich maritime legacy. These vessels, with their slender silhouettes and intimate decks, allow sailors to navigate the waters as the ancient mariners once did. From the tight-knit harbors of the Amalfi Coast to the shallow inlets of Puglia, sailing boats are versatile, making them perfect for close explorations. Feel the rhythmic pulse of the Mediterranean, hear the whisper of the waves, and embrace a deep connection to the sea and the stories it holds.

Catamaran: Sailing in Unparalleled Comfort Opting for a catamaran unveils Italy’s coastlines in lavish style. With their dual hulls, catamarans offer unmatched stability, making them ideal for families and groups or those prioritizing space and comfort. Envision wide decks for sunbathing, spacious cabins, and panoramic views of iconic landscapes like Cinque Terre or the cliffs of Capri. The catamaran’s design also allows for closer anchoring, enabling easy access to secluded beaches and crystal-clear snorkeling spots.

With Yachting.Rent, the choice between a sailing boat or catamaran is more than just a vessel preference; it’s about crafting your personalized Italian adventure. Our seasoned team is on hand to guide you, ensuring that whichever vessel you choose, it aligns seamlessly with your dreams and desires. Whether it’s a nostalgic journey echoing the tales of old or a modern exploration drenched in luxury, set sail in Italy with confidence, knowing Yachting.Rent is at the helm of your unforgettable voyage.

Hiring a catamaran in Italy is a fantastic way to explore the unique coastline and beautiful islands that rest between the Ligurian and the Tyrrhenian Sea. At any moment while sailing you will be desperate to drop anchor to enjoy the Italian seafood, shop within the narrow streets, or visit famous sites. A catamaran adventure in Italy is the perfect opportunity for both sea lovers and explorers to combine sailing and on-land experiences. Italy has various marinas that extend along the immense coastline, so you will never have trouble finding the ideal catamaran of your choice. You can directly contact the owners for the ideal vessel or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some recommendations.

You have plenty of options:

You can hire a catamaran with a skipper--or without one, if you have a license--and enjoy a one-day cruise along the Italian Riviera or the Amalfi coast. You can also book a catamaran for a sunset cruise, throw a party, or celebrate a wedding anniversary. Lastly, for a multi-day adventure, we recommend you to explore Sicily and the Aeolian Islands with a luxury catamaran. 

BednBlue Guarantee

Catamaran in italy.

 Italy is bounded by the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the east. The Ligurian Sea is like an arm of the Mediterranean Sea that extends towards Tuscany and the island of Elba, which offers an introduction to the history dating back to Napoleon Bonaparte. The islands in Tuscany boast luxurious quarters and resorts starting from the center of the Riviera, Genoa, which today hosts the most important port for cruising and tourism. Millions of visitors descend to Italy to enjoy the pastel-colored seaside villages, the rugged coastlines, and to be part of the modern luxury that extends from the Italian Riviera to the Amalfi Coast. 

 A catamaran holiday in Italy guarantees a life-changing experience, whether you are visiting the Italian Riviera in the north of Sicily in the south. If you have decided to cruise along the Italian Riviera, you have the option to spend multiple days in Portovenere, around the area of La Spezia, or enjoy your time in the fishing village of Portofino in Genoa, home to one of the prettiest superyacht marinas in the world. For the perfect one-day cruise, your catamaran can follow the dramatic coastline and head to Cinque Terre, known for its authentic shining villages, which have been inaccessible by land for centuries. Cinque Terre is also known for its spectacular restaurants, so you will not miss out on the Ligurian specialties of Pesto, anchovies, and a fantastic bowl of condiglione on a sun-kissed afternoon.  

 For a two- or three-day catamaran charter in Italy, you can head to Tuscany. This town can easily be reached from Cinque Terre, where you can immerse yourself in complete isolation in the small beaches of Viareggio and Livorno. Isola d’Elba (Elba island) is also within your reach and marks a fantastic cruise around the Tuscan Archipelago. Do not miss the chance to visit Portoferraio and Capa Bianco beaches, which are perfect for families and children. 50km south of Elba and 15km from the mainland, you have the option to go swimming and snorkeling in Giglio island, where you explore underwater shipwrecks. By paying a visit to Pianosa island, you will be able to jump off your catamaran and swim in some great diving spots. The whole archipelago of Tuscany can be yours where you can create your own routes and visit all 7 different islands that it’s composed of. You also have the option to sail between Maddalena national park and the Costa Smeralda, which is another one of Italy’s gems. You can even make a crossing to Corsica and create your own week-long itineraries.

 With a catamaran rental in Italy, you can explore the dramatic coast of Amalfi. This coast is in close proximity to the Bay of Naples, giving you the option to make multiple stops in various ports, beaches, and scenic villages built on steep rock. From Positano, you can cruise into the isle of Capri. The towering rock formations of the Faraglioni are one of the most romantic spots in Italy, where you can propose to your significant other on board a luxury catamaran. If you begin a yacht charter in Italy from Naples, you will then have the option to enjoy a gentle cruise to Ischia and Procida. You can spend time at the port of Procida, known for its private beaches, perfect for a family on holiday. The main town, Piazzetta, provides excellent shopping opportunities, some of the finest sections of eateries, and hosts multiple events during the summer. For a multi-day experience, you can combine your itineraries with Naples and Amalfi and even go island-hopping to Sicily and the Aeolian islands.

 If you want to enjoy a luxury sailing trip in the Mediterranean, do not miss the chance to visit Sardinia and Sicily. The island of Sardinia has three airports, making it easy for many travelers to hire a catamaran of their choice and explore Costa Smeralda’s captivating views as well as the rich diversity of landscapes in Olbia. Some of the most beautiful islets you cannot miss include La Maddalena, Tavolara, Budelli, Spargi, and Caprera, all offering various amenities, opportunities for swimming and snorkeling, as well as powdery white beaches that are always dotted with sailboats, catamarans, and luxury motor yachts, during the summer months. Costa Smeralda is a glittery playground for yachts and celebrities and a place one can enjoy the music in some of its glamorous nightclubs. Areas in northern Sardinia, including Alghero and Dorgali, can get very windy since the mistral wind is dominant most of the year. In this case, better hire a catamaran with a skipper who knows how to get around the jagged coastline.

 Sicily is the biggest island in the Mediterranean and often includes the Aeolian islands in week-long itineraries, as there is so much to explore. The 7 islands in the archipelago are Lipari, Panarea, Vulcano, Stromboli, Salina, Alicudi, and Filicudi. With the island’s active volcanoes in the background, you can enjoy the magnificent coastlines that radiate serenity. The mouthwatering Sicilian cuisine only makes your culinary journey even more exciting. You can then head back to your catamaran at any moment or relax at the spa-like beaches, in the sulphuric islands you choose. This side of Italy has locals who will invite you to their community with open arms and will definitely mark the end of an unforgettable experience during your sailing holidays in Italy.

Below we explore the right time to charter and some of the key places to visit. You can also browse the yachts available in Italy this year. An Italy yacht charter vacation brings this central Mediterranean country’s beautiful culture and scenery to life. You can experience many different aspects of Italy, including the restaurants, art, history and colour in the comfort of your favourite luxury charter yacht on the Mediterranean and Adriatic coastlines. The famous Italian places you can explore include Naples , Capri , Amalfi , Portofino , Sardinia , Rome ,  Sicily and Venice , to name a few.

Cost To Charter a Yacht In Italy:

The cost to charter a crewed yacht in Italy begins at a price of around 5,000 Euros per week plus advanced provisioning allowance (APA) expenses, typically around 30%. The most expensive luxury Italy superyacht charter holiday costs over 1 million Euros per week plus APA.

The Italy Charter Season:

Like most of the Mediterranean, the Italy season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season for Italy is in July and August. This is also the high season as far as yacht charter goes. Other good times to rent your yacht are generally on either of the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October), each side of the main summer season, as the temperatures are still comfortable, and the onshore tourists have yet to arrive in their largest numbers. The types of yachts available in Italy include motor yacht, sailing yacht charter, skippered, crewed yachts, catamarans, power boats, sailboat, luxury yachts and the ever increasing mega and superyacht charter.

Expert Charter Broker Quote:

“I think Italy is so special because it truly has something to offer everyone. Whether you are seeking a romantic honeymoon, a family vacation, or a holiday with a few of your closest friends, Italy can provide exactly what you’re looking for.” – Trina Howes Luxury Yacht Charter Broker in her article titled ‘ Italy – Why is this Charter Location so Special? ’

Many Italy and Amalfi private charters begin in Naples. Naples is a city with a distinct energy - chaotic yet charming, cluttered yet beautiful. Rather daunting to the virgin eye,

Naples has a way of shedding your inhibitions, to present a proud and colorful culture, with an alluring hospitality. Naples is the yacht charter hub of southern Italy and the gateway to Capri and the Amalfi Coast. The Isle of Capri and Amalfi present some of the most spectacular coastlines of the whole Mediterranean.

AMALFI COAST - COSTIERA AMALFITANA

A yacht holiday in Italy must incorporate the stunning Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi coast is around a day sail south of Naples. Amalfi and Positano , like Capri, attract visitors and charter yachts of the highest prestige. The 50 km of the Amalfi coastline stretches mainly from Sorrento to Salerno . It remains a place of rare and incredible beauty. The hillside towns are a truly magnificent display of Italian engineering and architecture. Terrace houses and buildings cling to steep cliffs, rising from the coastline.

Portofino is another must see. It is a tiny town of cobble-stone streets, framed by hills of silvery, ancient olive groves. From the top of the hill, the views of the harbor and coastline are breathtaking. Cafes, boutique shops and gelataria’s spill out into the harbor piazza. The portside cafes are a great place to sit and watch the glamorous yachting world go by. Further down the Italian coast, you'll sail upon 'Cinque Terre' - A succession of five coastal villages, all with the same spectacular views of the seas. These villages are less expensive and sophisticated, than their more popular sister, Portofino. There is a stunning and famous walk along this coastal route, linking the five towns romantically called 'Via Dell 'Amore' ( The Way of Love ). 

A charter in Sardinia, Italy is also quite an experience. Sardinia is a universe unto itself. It's an island of Italy, where the local language is incomprehensible to all other Italians.

An island with one of Europe's most stunning coastlines; it's waters teem with fish; it's golden sands disappear into oceans of blue; it's rugged mountains are covered with flocks of sheep producing cheese so pungent, your palate will never forget.

Venice is a city that’s surrounded by so much water, so being afloat on a yacht vacation is a fantastic way to experience this classic Mediterranean city. Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world , with its intricate web of canals, charming gondoliers, glorious renaissance architecture and narrow cobbled streets. Venice is an essential stop on any Adriatic yacht charter holiday. On your charter boat, take a cruise down the Grand Canal. From the deck of your charter boat, you’ll be able to pass by sights such as the Ca'Foscari, Palazzo Grassi, Guggenheim Museum and the Accademia Bridge.

Why CharterWorld? CharterWorld is a specialist charter company with all the crewed yachts in Italy and the Mediterranean at the best price. With the industry’s top professional yacht brokers and every yacht in the Mediterranean available you will be well served. If there is a boat or cruising area in Italy, or elsewhere, that you are interested in which is not covered here, please contact us and we will provide you with that information personally and free of charge.

Amanda, Jaco is a beautiful boat. Captain and crew is wonderful. The details of our trip were very similar to the itinerary you outlined with some minor modifications along the way. Our first night was in Ischia. We had dinner on the boat. We left early the next morning after breakfast for Capri. Capri was wonderful and tremendously fun.

These coastal havens not only bask in the influence of maritime culture but also thrive on the bustling economy generated by their proximity to the sea. Italy 's beauty and charm beckon to be discovered on a yacht charter.

What type of boat is best for Italy?

When considering an Italy boat rental, it's important to consider the duration of your holiday before selecting the right vessel. If you're planning a short sailing adventure lasting only a few days, opting for a daily charter like a motorboat  or an RIB  is recommended. These speedy vessels allow you to cover all the destinations on your wish list in no time, maximising your time on the water.

On the other hand, if you're planning a longer charter of a week or more, choosing a vessel that provides the amenities you'll need during your stay is advisable. Catamarans  and yachts are excellent options as they offer ample space and onboard accommodations to ensure a comfortable experience throughout your journey. These vessels are designed to provide all the comforts of home while you explore the captivating Italian coast. Gulets  and sailboats  offer an authentic sailing experience, adding an extra touch of elegance and charm to your voyage.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Italy?

If you’re looking for a dream Italian yacht charter, there are multiple factors to consider. Things such as the number of passengers on board, the time of year and the size and type of your yacht charter you choose will all impact the final cost. If you need a skippered vessel, this will probably be a bit more expensive, or it can be added to the price of your bareboat charter as an extra cost. The average price of boat rental in Italy is €600 per day.

Below are some starting prices and capacities of Italy yacht charters by boat type:

East Coast Italy (Apulia, Puglia, Bari) Best for : Wine tasting, hiking, authentic restaurants

Venice (Veneto) Best for : Art galleries, theatres, ancient architecture

Ligurian Riviera Yacht Charters

Also known as the Italian Riviera, Liguria Riviera yacht rentals are characterised by centuries-old architecture, historic landmarks, and craggy cliffs.  Highlights of the Italian Riviera include  Cinque Terre , a string of former fishing towns carved into the hills overlooking the sea. Nearby  Portofino  shares the same type of brightly-coloured buildings and is a magnet for superyacht charters.

Amalfi Coast Yacht Charters

Amalfi Coast yacht rentals are one of the most beloved cruising grounds in Italy. Also known as the Sorrentine Peninsula, the coast stretches from Naples to Salerno, covering towns such as Sorrento , Positano, Ravello and Amalfi. Islands including Capri and the Phlegrean archipelago (which covers Ischia, Procida and Vivara) are included in the Amalfi Coast. The region has limited beaches, but plenty to see and do onshore- you won't ever be bored on the Amalfi Coast! 

The island of nearby Capri is steeped in culture, history and natural beauty. Explore the ancient villas, and discover the wonders of the legendary Blue Grotto.

Sardinia Yacht Charters

Located in the Tyrrhenian sea next to the French island of Corsica , Sardinia is hugely different to the Italian mainland. In contrast to the steep bluffs and deep sapphire sea of the Amalfi Coast and Italian Riviera, Sardinia is bordered by sugary sand beaches and crystal-clear bays. 

The north-east coast of the island is the most popular for visiting yachts. For keen sailors, a voyage around La Maddalena archipelago can't be beaten- it's the same location where a number of prestigious regattas are held and it sits on the famous  Costa Smeralda , which   is well-known for its beaches and fantastic snorkeling opportunities.   Porto Cervo is a luxury-lovers dream, with its high-end shops and designer emporiums close to the main port. Meanwhile, Olbia is the quieter sister of Porto Cervo, where you can while away the day wandering around museums and admiring the architecture. 

Venice Yacht Charters

A cultural gem of Italy, Venice is a city that is primed for of art and theatre fans. There are countless museums and art galleries for you to explore during your visit, and while you can't cruise your yacht through the city's inner waterways, you can indulge in a gondola ride- and that's far more intimate and romantic!

Nearby, the island of Murano is famed for its production of unique hand-blown glass art, and makes the perfect stop for a day wandering the boutiques and galleries. 

Yacht charters in Venice can also incorporate the beautiful neighboring destinations of Croatia into their itinerary. Speak with your yacht charter broker for more information.

An Italy yacht rental vacation offers an abundance of things to see and do. Here is our small selection of some of the most impressive:

Don't Miss:

• Chryst of the Abyss , an 8-ft bronze statue that stands 17m below the surface of the sea in Portofino, creating a popular diving spot.
• Fontelina , an iconic beach club set on the rocks in Capri.
• Villa Rufolo , a villa with beautiful, manicured gardens overlooking the sea in Ravello.
• Il San Pietro di Positano , a pretty hotel with an elegant terrace looking out over the ocean in the cliffs of Positano.
• The Faraglioni , a rock formation off the coast of Capri.
• Cala Goloritze , in Sardinia, a white-sand beach which is consistently voted one of the prettiest in Europe.
• Hotel Splendido , timeless hotel and SuperyachtSet hotspot in the hills looking out over the bay of Portofino.
• The Sunken City of Baiae , a small city that sunk into the sea during Roman times close to Naples.

From family-friendly fun to dazzling party hotspots, Italy provides it all. You can enjoy laid-back cruises or jam-packed island-hopping and finish your yacht charter with enough memories to last a lifetime.

With a rich history stretching back thousands of years, Italy has long been a pilgrimage destination for culture vultures across the globe, who come in their droves to absorb its beautiful architecture, fine art and iconic culture. From the colosseum in Rome and world-famous artists to its iconic fashion houses, the allure of Italy's rich history and culture is clear.

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to superyachts for charter in Italy, with one of the largest and most diverse fleets in the world for you to choose from.

Motor Yacht Charters in Italy

You can choose between a small, fast and sporty motor yacht , or a larger one with all the latest amenities; or something in between the two. Motor yachts with planing hulls are ideal for you if you want to zip between destinations quickly. They are sleek, sexy and ideal for speed demons. However, be aware that they consume more fuel and will be less stable at anchor.

Motor yachts with displacement and semi-displacement hulls are generally slower, but offer more space as well as stability at anchor. The largest yachts in the international charter fleet are all displacement or semi-displacement.

Sailing Yacht Charters in Italy

There are plenty of sailing yachts for charter in Italy. Choose between a high-performance ketch, a classic sloop or a catamaran for increased on-board volume. 

The country’s west coast is better for experienced sailors who aren’t afraid of wind and swell. The east side is more relaxed, and you can easily incorporate some island-hopping around Croatia into your vacation. 

With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget in Italy. The average prices for motor and sailing yacht charter in Italy are as follows;

• An Italy motor yacht rental can range from $32,600 to $1.3m per week plus expenses
• A sailing yacht charter in Italy averages from $29,000 to $560k weekly plus expenses

Italy’s charter season runs between April and October. Peak season is in July and August, when the mercury’s at its peak and rainfall and wind levels are at their lowest. Savvy charterers looking to save some money should consider chartering a yacht in Italy during shoulder season, which is generally between April and May, and September and October. While these months aren’t as lively as peak season, you can still enjoy warm weather, fewer tourists, and less competition for slips.

Italy’s west coast is the most popular region for yacht charters, and most of clients will usually book a week or more in order to fully experience all that this slice of paradise has to offer.

Most yacht rentals begin in Naples with access to the most popular destinations like the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Sardinia . For yacht charters on the Italian Riviera, most people begin in Genoa .

You can browse our selection of tailor-made itineraries to help you choose the type of vacation that’s right for you;

Where to End a Italy Yacht Charter

The most popular destination for beginning or ending a yacht charter is by far and wide Naples , especially for the Amalfi Coast, thanks to its excellent international links and well-provisioned superyacht marinas. 

While exploring Italy by yacht, you will find plenty of marinas that cater to a wide range of superyachts. This includes: 

• Marina di Stabia  is a luxury marina close to Naples, which caters to yachts up to 100m.
• Marina Molo Luise  is a second option close to Naples, which caters to yachts measuring up to 140m.
• Porto Lotti , located in the Italian Riviera, caters to yachts of up to 100m. 
• Darsena Fontanelle on the East Coast has a maximum capacity of 60m.
• Venice Yacht Pier , which has the capacity to host yachts of up to 120m.

Italy is one of our most popular destinations in the summer months. Therefore, advanced booking is crucial if you want to secure your perfect yacht, in your ideal destination on your preferred dates.

Your broker will also need plenty of time to tailor an itinerary to suit you, and enough time to book ahead for the nights you wish to spend in marinas. We recommened booking up to 3 months in advance to give your yacht charter broker the optimum time to organise everything down to the last detail.

Italy yacht charter itineraries.

Our wide selection of itineraries has been curated with the help of brokers and yachting experts to ensure each one is perfectly tailored for a luxury yacht charter. To make it easier to choose the right fit for you and your party, you can browse our itineraries based on the number of days you’re planning to spend chartering.

From Portofino to Positano and everywhere in between, Italy is home to a variety of charter hotspots. If you’re looking to explore one region in Italy, we recommend an itinerary that covers between 5-7 days. This will give you enough time to spend on shore discovering the delights of new towns and pretty villages, while also enjoying some down time on deck.

If you’re looking to explore two regions that aren’t far from each other (for example the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia) you should consider 7 days. Your itinerary can incorporate an overnight cruise to ensure you don’t waste a day underway.

For more than two regions, or if you’re looking to spend more than one night in any destination, you should consider an itinerary that is longer than 7 days. This will give you enough time to fully experience everything that this beautiful Mediterranean destination has to offer.

Italy is a vast country that covers many sub-regions, so be sure to consider this when browsing our itineraries. Many people will choose to start and end their vacation in Italy, but it’s also possible to incorporate neighbouring countries into an itinerary; a popular destination is the South of France, but you could also incorporate Croatia or Greece.

Italy Yacht Charter Q&A

Italy is one of the yachting capitals of the world, and certain regions are extremely busy during peak season.

You should start the booking process as early as possible, particularly if you’re looking to spend some nights in port. Marinas such as Marina Grande in Capri and Marina di Portofino are among the most in-demand in the Mediterranean, so be sure to let your broker know if you’d like to book a berth in either of these.

As with all popular travel destinations, Italy can be congested and touristy in the height of summer. Cultural sites and landmarks will always be popular attractions, but you can avoid the crowds by dining at exclusive restaurants and beach clubs, which you can find in our Points of Interest section.

In most European countries, VAT is charged on yacht charters. The percentage varies from country to country. Italy charges 22% on the cost of the charter, however, there are some instances where this can be reduced depending on time spent chartering in international (or non-EU) waters. Talk to your charter broker for more information. 

If you’re looking to explore one or two areas of Italy, we recommend a 7-day itinerary. However if you’re looking to explore multiple regions of Italy, you should plan a longer itinerary. Luckily, there’s plenty of room for flexibility and longer and shorter itineraries can be arranged according to the needs of your charter party.

With a huge variety of yachts to choose from, there’s a charter yacht in Italy to suit every budget. 

For a mid-sized motor yacht during peak season, you can expect to pay anywhere between $90,000 to $300,000 per week plus expenses during peak season. 

You should be aware that the price displayed next to the yachts on our site are base rates, and do not cover additional expenses.

Additional costs include the cost of fuel, berthing, VAT, crew tips and food and beverages. You should factor these costs in and typically expect to pay upwards of 30 - 35% of the base rate on top of your charter fee. 

To help you get an idea of the yachts that are available, you can browse ALL crewed yachts available for charter in Italy on our site. When you’ve chosen your perfect yacht, you can make an inquiry and a charter broker will be in touch. 

They will take care of the booking process, and talk to you about what you want from your vacation so that they can provide you with an incredible experience down to the very last detail. 

If you’re still undecided on the yacht that you want, that’s not a problem; your charter broker will consider your requirements and recommend a selection for you.

There are plenty of opportunities for sailing in Italy. The country’s west coast is ideal for experienced sailors who don’t mind wind and swells. Islands like Sicily, Sardinia, Capri and Ischia are all great locations for a sailing vacation. Meanwhile, Italy’s sheltered east coast is typically calmer, and you could even incorporate some island-hopping in Croatia. 

Our clients typically book a yacht charter in Italy between June and August. However, the weather in certain regions is still pleasant as early as June and as late in the season as September.

In September in particular, the seas are warmer and there are far fewer tourists, so this could be a good time to visit if you’re looking for a more relaxed vacation. 

Where you begin your yacht charter in Italy depends on where you want to charter. One of the most popular start destinations is Naples, which provides access to all the most well-known yachting destinations including the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sardinia and the Italian Riviera (or Liguria).

Frequently asked questions

Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.

You can get in touch with the captain as soon as you’ve completed your booking. Our captains are highly qualified and knowledgeable about their locality.

The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.

There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Sailing on a catamaran in Italy

Italy is obviously most known for its mouthwatering food, including more than pasta and pizza, as well as beautiful sunny weather and lots of history, but a catamaran in Italy allows you to discover this stunning Mediterranean country from a different perspective. Discover breathtaking beaches in Sicily and Sardinia, explore the stunning coastline in the Gulf of Naples, and stop by the Amalfi coast to take in the stunning cliff views.

The pros of renting a catamaran in Italy

A catamaran charter in Italy allows you to explore the land of pasta and pizza in a completely different way. Explore the stunning scenery and beautiful beaches in Sicily, Sardinia, or the Amalfi coast. As catamarans have a shallow draft, you will be able to sail closer to the shore and discover the beaches up close.

Enjoy the flexibility of sailing, but in comfort and style with a catamaran rental in Italy . Catamarans are generally quite spacious and offer enough space for everyone on board to enjoy a meal together on deck, to sleep in cabins that feel more like comfortable hotel rooms on water rather than small cabins on a boat. This comfort also includes the option of using the engine to drive instead of having to rely on the sail completely.

Rent a catamaran in Italy if you want to make the most of your vacation on the water. You will have plenty of space to stretch your legs and sunbathe on deck while sipping on a delicious homemade cocktail or snacking on some fresh fruits. Due to standing on two hulls, catamarans are more stable and allow for more space on board.

The cons of renting a catamaran in Italy

One of the downsides of a catamaran hire in Italy is the fact that they are bigger than other types of boats and therefore more difficult to navigate and operate in smaller spaces, including the marinas.

Charter a private luxury catamaran in Italy

A private luxury catamaran charter in Italy is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to splurge and is not restricted by any budget. A luxury catamaran in Italy comes with all the amenities you could dream of and a full crew is mostly included in the price.

How many people can go on a catamaran in Italy?

On average, a catamaran in Italy allows around 10 people to sleep on board the boat. This makes a catamaran in Italy perfect for a group of couples or a group of single friends.

When is the best time to sail on a catamaran in Italy?

Sailing season in Italy generally lasts from late spring until early autumn, but the sailing conditions can vary greatly between North and South, as well as the different gulfs and islands. The light winds on the Amalfi coast make for a pleasant and comfortable sailing experience on a catamaran . You don’t have to rush and the light winds carry you comfortably over the small waves.

If you want to sail around an Italian island on a catamaran you should rent a catamaran in Sardinia in late spring or summer. The winds are less strong, the sun is warming up the sea, and the turquoise waters are inviting you for a quick dip. If you prefer to ditch the crowds and don’t mind wind speeds picking up a little, a catamaran charter in Italy can also be great in September.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in Italy?

A catamaran rental in Italy doesn’t have to break the bank. It really depends on the region you want to explore in Italy and the time of year you want to visit. In general, an affordable catamaran charter in Italy is going to cost you around 3.000 EUR for a week in September. Of course, you can always spend more, but this is the bareboat charter price while on a budget. A more luxurious catamaran charter in Italy can cost you between 30.000 and 40.000 EUR per week. It all depends on your personal preferences and your budget. If you want to hire a skipper in addition to your catamaran bareboat charter, you will have to pay extra but don’t have to worry about navigating and operating the boat yourself.

What kind of boat licence do I need when renting a catamaran in Italy?

Anyone who wants to charter a catamaran in Italy should be in possession of a valid boat licence. If you obtained your boat licence anywhere in the EU, it will be valid in Italy. A bareboat catamaran rental in Italy also requires you to carry a VHF radio licence.

If you don’t have a valid boat licence or simply don’t want to operate the catamaran yourself, you can always hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat catamaran charter in Italy. However, skippers who obtained their skipper licences outside of Italy will not be covered by an Italian flagged boat.

The best routes for catamarans in Italy

Italy offers some of the most stunning sailing destinations in the world, and catamarans are the perfect vessels to explore its coastal beauty. Among the top regions for catamaran sailing in Italy are Sicily, Sardinia, and the Gulf of Naples. Each of these areas provides a unique and unforgettable sailing experience.

Sail around Sicily on a catamaran:

Sailing around Sicily allows you to immerse yourself in the captivating history and natural wonders of the region. Begin your journey in Palermo, the island's vibrant capital, and set sail to the enchanting Aeolian Islands. Discover the volcanic landscapes of Stromboli and Vulcano, relax on the beaches of Salina, and explore the charming villages of Lipari and Panarea. Sicily's crystal-clear waters, stunning coastlines, and warm hospitality make it an ideal catamaran sailing destination.

Sail around Sardinia on a catamaran:

The island of Sardinia is a true paradise for catamaran enthusiasts. Start your sailing adventure from the southern port of Cagliari and navigate along the southern coast. Explore the pristine beaches and hidden coves of Chia and Villasimius. Sail northward to the Costa Smeralda, famous for its luxurious resorts and turquoise waters. Take in the breathtaking beauty of La Maddalena Archipelago and enjoy the unspoiled nature of Sardinia's northern islands.

Sail around the Gulf of Naples on a catamaran:

The Gulf of Naples is a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Depart from Naples and set sail towards the picturesque island of Ischia, known for its thermal springs and lush landscapes. Continue to the colorful island of Procida and experience its authentic Italian charm. Don't miss the chance to visit the legendary Isle of Capri, with its stunning cliffs, iconic Blue Grotto, and elegant atmosphere. Sailing along the Amalfi Coast, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of dramatic cliffs, charming towns, and the iconic Mount Vesuvius.

Rent with or without a skipper

While most yachts come with a skipper, there is a limited number available for those who prefer to take full control of their sailing experience. To secure a yacht without a skipper, it's advisable to book early to ensure availability. If you're considering a bareboat charter in Italy, it's important to hold the appropriate boating license to navigate the yacht. If you're unsure, it's recommended to check with the boat owner for clarification.

For the ultimate luxury yacht charter in Italy, we recommend a crewed charter. Whether you choose a skippered yacht charter or one with a full crew, you can take in your Italian yacht charter by island hopping and enjoying refreshing swims in the beautiful waters. A crewed charter typically includes a skilled chef who can help make your vacation truly feel relaxing with handcrafted meals and drinks.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch, 2 US citizens among missing after luxury yacht sinks off Sicily

15 people were rescued and one body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, by andrea rosa and nicole winfield | the associated press • published august 19, 2024 • updated on august 19, 2024 at 3:21 pm.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch and five other people were missing after their luxury sailing yacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.

Lynch, who was  acquitted in June  in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, when a tornado over the water known as a waterspout struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency.

One body was recovered, and police divers spent the day trying to reach the hull of the ship, which was resting at a depth of 50 meters (163 feet) off Porticello where it had been anchored, rescue authorities said. They returned to the site after 10 p.m. to see if it would be possible to search through the night, when weather conditions were expected to worsen, said Luca Cari, spokesman of the fire rescue service.

It had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and struck the place precisely where the 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.

“They were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Cocina, noting that another superyacht nearby wasn't as badly damaged and helped rescue some of the 15 survivors, who included Lynch's wife Angela Bacares.

The Bayesian was notable for its single 75-meter (246-feet) mast — one of the world’s tallest made of aluminum and which was lit up at night, just hours before it sank. Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $215,000) a week.

One of the survivors, identified as Charlotte Golunski, said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported, quoting the mother. The father, James Emsley, also survived, said Cocina.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, said he had noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realized the ship had simply disappeared, ANSA and the Giornale di Sicilia newspaper reported. Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Eight of those rescued were hospitalized while the others were taken to a hotel. One body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, said Cari, the fire rescue spokesperson. The rescue operations, which were visible from shore, involved helicopters and rescue boats from the coast guard, fire rescue and civil protection service.

Fisherman Francesco Cefalu’ said he had seen a flare from shore at around 4:30 a.m. and immediately set out to the site but by the time he got there, the Bayesian had already sunk, with only cushions, wood and other items from the superyacht floating in the water.

“But for the rest, we didn’t find anyone,” he said from the port hours later. He said that he immediately alerted the coast guard and stayed on site for three hours, but didn't find any survivors. “I think they are inside, all the missing people.”

He said he had been up early to check the weather to see if he could go fishing, and surmised that a sudden waterspout had struck the yacht.

“It could be that the mast broke, or the anchor at the prow pulled it, I don’t know,” he said.

Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries: In addition to Britain and the United States, passengers and crew were from Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain, he said.

Among the dead and missing, four were British, two were American, and one was a man with dual citizenship from Canada and Antigua, according to Luciano Pischedda, the Italian Coast Guard official overseeing the rescue operations.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was “providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families.”

Dutch foreign ministry spokesperson Casper Soetekouw said the lone Dutch citizen on board, a man, had been rescued and was not in life-threatening condition.

Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges related to Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp.

The not-guilty verdicts followed an 11-week criminal trial in San Francisco that delved into the history of HP’s  2011 acquisition  of Autonomy, a business software firm founded by Lynch.

The  fraud accusations  represented a dramatic turn in the fortunes of an entrepreneur once described as the Bill Gates of Britain — a title he seemed to live up to when he netted an $800 million from the Autonomy sale.

The acquittal vindicated Lynch, who had vehemently denied wrong doing and portrayed HP as a technological train wreck.

“I’m looking forward to returning the UK and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field,” Lynch said in a statement released after the verdict.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate 12 passengers in four double cabins, a triple and the master suite, plus crew accommodations, according to Charter World and Yacht Charters.

The vessel, which previously was named Salute when it flew under a Dutch flag, featured a sleek, minimalist interior of light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions and photos on the charter sites.

British tech giant Mike Lynch missing after possible tornado flips yacht

British tech giant Mike Lynch, his lawyer and four other people are among those missing after their luxury superyacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.
