The Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast of Italy is a spectacular superyacht charter cruising ground offering breathtaking scenery with jagged cliffs that plunge 3,000 feet into the Mediterranean Sea, pristine beaches, ancient historical ruins and cities, jet-setting ports, chic shopping, fishing villages, artists enclaves, off the beaten track islands where you can sneak away from it all, and extraordinary natural beauty.

• Day 1 Naples to Ischia

  Board your Italy charter in Naples, a colorful seaport city built on the slopes of the Bay of Naples with the volcano, Mount Vesuvius, in the background. It is the ideal location for beginning an Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary as it has an international airport and many marinas for embarkation. Both spaghetti and pizza were supposedly created here, and the “O Sole Mia” Italian welcome spices the air.

  On your Italy yacht charter trip, Naples offers numerous historical sites, palaces, art museums, and churches including the National Archaeological Museum, thought to be the best in Europe, and the San Carlo Opera House. Ischia – the largest island in the Bay of Naples is lush, semi-tropical and famous for its natural thermal springs… a garden of pools at different temperatures close to the sea offering a natural spa treatment. They have made Ischia world-famous as "The Island of Well-Being."

• Day 2 Capri

  A legendary jet setting island that so enchanted Tiberius when he visited that he never returned to Rome. Clark Gable and Sophia Loren romanticized Capri forever with the film “It Started in Naples.” The town of Capri is nested in the cliffs of a dramatic limestone coastline that spikes out of the sea and offers a lively ambiance of chic bars, trendy restaurants and boutiques. A place to see and be seen on your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary. Sixty-five caves punctuate the cliffs of Capri, and a major highlight is the “Blue Grotto” which is 65 feet below sea level and entered by boat through a small passage. Reflections of light bathe the stalactites in a kaleidoscope of turquoises and silvers creating a magical journey through the tunnels and ruins. Two days here aboard an Italy yacht charter is barely enough – most want to linger longer.

  Occupying a spectacular stretch of coastline, Positano is an old fishing village now populated with sand splashed cafes and boutiques.

• Day 6 Sorrento

  Is perched on a terraced ledge over the sea, surrounded by countryside of citrus groves and olive trees. A labyrinth of alleys and steps connect the village to the picturesque harbor and lovely beaches below. Sorrento has been attracting tourists since Roman times and its name hails from the mythical mermaids who lured Ulysses and his crew in the Odyssey with their siren’s song. The city has an unspoiled old quarter, lively shopping, lovely walkways, and pizza that you can order by the meter.

• Day 7 Pompeii

  On your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary, a day trip to Pompeii from the ports of Naples or Sorrento is highly recommended. This ancient city at the foot of Mount Vesuvius was volcanically frozen in time in 79 A.D. when the volcano erupted and covered it in lava and ash. Excavated over the years, it is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, giving a complete view of a Roman town with its temples, baths, basilicas, theaters, and gladiator training arena.

  Paestum: On your Italy yacht charter vacation, a train trip from Sorrento will bring history enthusiasts to the finely preserved ruins of Paestum with one of the best collections of Greek temples anywhere in the world. Its massive temples were built in around the fifth century B.C., when this part of Italy was called Greater Greece.

• Day 8 Naples- Disembarkation

  Other Ports of Call on an Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter Itinerary

  Ravello: The home of the prestigious Villa Rufolo of Ravello Music Festival that runs from April through November every year. “Under the stars” classical concerts in the setting where Wagner found his "magic garden of Klingsor.” This is easy to get to from Amalfi during your Italy yacht charter trip.

  Praiano: Nestled between Positano and Amalfi, this ancient fishing village is a quaint port of call on an Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary. It is home to "The Africana", the most famous nightclub on the Amalfi Coast. Two large caves come together just above the sea,

  and the dance floor is covered with plates of glass for a view of the sea, stalactites and the stalagmites that are illuminated with iridescent reflections.
