Yacht charter in Amalfi: what can you do on your cruise?

Choosing the incredible little town of Amalfi as your port of departure is bound to promise you splendid spots, unforgettable anchorages and indescribable light. The Amalfi coast is one of the jewels of the Italian coastline, where life is gentle and everything leads to contemplation and enjoyment. Amalfi alone is worth a few days of visits and walks. While moored in front of its luminous cliffs, take the time to visit this unusual place, full of history.

This city was one of the first maritime republics and a pillar of Italian history. Amalfi Cathedral, built in the 11th century in an Arab-Sicilian style, is the jewel in the crown of this small town. Enjoying Amalfi from the terrace of a bar at sunset before joining your yacht to contemplate the colours of this village from its enchanted bay will start your cruise with a touch of Italian savoir-vivre.

The Amalfi Coast: take all the time you need, and enjoy

The Tyrrhenian Sea is made up of a blue that you won’t find anywhere else, and to be able to savour it on board one of the yachts we offer is an experience you must have. Whether you’ve chosen a sailing yacht to enjoy the silky breezes of southern Italy or a motoryacht to enjoy speed and living space with all the luxury of a grand hotel, sailing this sea is a never-ending exhilaration.

From the island of Capri to the Gulf of Salerno, take the time to experience the light that made Ulysses believe he had seen mermaids.

All the bays face south and are very sheltered. The wind is light, and the thermal breeze that picks up in the middle of the day is a godsend for sailors and a promise of coolness for motoryacht enthusiasts.

Choose a quiet anchorage like the one offered by this magnificent cove to the west of Capo di Conca, and you can hire a car and drive along the coastal road to visit the most emblematic places on this coast.

Whether you do it as a prelude to your cruise, or to round off a crossing, a stay at anchor along the Amalfi coast is a luxury you simply must not do without.

A trip north: Naples, Ischia and the immense Vesuvius

The Tyrrhenian Sea is a limitless playground, where anything seems possible. Its coastline abounds in pleasures, history, rural tranquillity and festive beaches. The possibilities and combinations of play and enjoyment are limitless.

If you decide to go sailing under the aegis of the master of the place, Mount Vesuvius, then there are a few strategic spots to point out.

Between two sailings or a few days’ rest at anchor in the Bay of Capri, work out a sailing programme with the crew on board that will allow you to explore this coastline, punctuating it with stop-offs each as exciting as the next.

Pompeii cannot be ignored, for the silence, the history and the imprint it leaves on the minds of those who have passed through it.

The beautiful town of Torre del Greco has grown in renown thanks to its jewellery crafts. The sunsets here are fabulous, and its nightlife will suck you in, between Michelin-starred restaurants that glorify the gastronomy of Campania, and nightclubs with their terraces on the beach.

Naples, flamboyant, noisy and bursting with life, should be experienced as a kind of intoxication. Don’t listen to the prophets of doom, and choose the quiet, peaceful areas to enjoy this city of a thousand stories.

Ischia, the pearl of your getaway north of Amalfi. It’s a volcanic island, where you can enjoy its thermal waters in selected establishments on Maronti beach, in the south of the island.

And grab your snorkelling gear for a dip in the bay of Cartaromana, where you can swim amidst Roman remains.

Here, too, you’ll find establishments renowned for their exquisite cuisine and voluptuous surroundings.
