Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter

The Amalfi Coast is a 50km stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, in the Campania region. Encompassing the iconic Italian islands of Ischia and Capri, as well as the hillside town of Positano and Sorrento, these rugged shorelines are dotted with small beaches, pastel-coloured fishing villages and vistas of terraced vineyards and lemon groves.

From the historic architecture to the breathtaking natural beauty and the effortless glamour of the Italian culture, the Amalfi Coast has so much to offer.

Amalfi itself was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its undisputed beauty and the uniqueness of its natural landscape. The mountainside plunges steeply into the ocean, creating charming coves, deep fjords, cliffs, caverns, bays, natural arches and small pebble beaches. The city of Amalfi is the first of the four Maritime Republics in Italy and has many historical points of interest such as the imposing Cathedral of St. Andrew, the Campanile and the Cloister of Paradise.

Begin your charter on the Amalfi Coast in Naples and head to the island of Ischia. Ischia is the largest island in the bay and is considered by many to be the most beautiful. Visit the boutiques and restaurants around the small fishing village of San Angelo and unwind in the volcanic island’s thermal spas.

If you prefer the beach, then head straight to the Chiaia Beach in Forio, which is perfect for children, or the Spiaggia degli Inglesi which will put some distance between you and the tourist crowds in town.

The neighbouring island of Capri is bustling with chic boutiques, restaurants and bars. Whether coming into port for awhile or arriving by tender, the Marina Piccola will be your first experience of Capri before ascending into the funicular to central Capri’s Piazzetta. There is also the beautiful village of Anacapri where you can visit the Villa San Michele, home of the Swedish physician Axel Munthe, as well as the excavations at the Imperial Villa of Damecuta and the magnificent view from the top of the hill.  

Look out for the Belvedere of Tragara, a high panoramic promenade lined with luxury villas, the Faraglioni, which is a natural limestone masses that tower out of the sea and the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), a stunning cave with a unique influx of light that illuminates the water within.

Positano is a small town on the Amalfi Coast and the town itself is perched on an enclave on the face of a hill, winding down towards the sea. Naturally beautiful, Positano is also famed for its production of limoncello and other lemon products and the city is characterized by the church of Santa Maria Assunta, built in the 1920s. On the wooded hillside above Positano, the villages of Montepertuso and Nocelle offer fantastic views of the entire coastline and it is from here that the famous trail of the Gods, the ‘Sentiero Degli Dei’, begins.
