CHARTER EXPERIENCE
Famed for its vertiginous landscape, gourmet cuisine and picturesque coastline, travelers have long been attracted to the Amalfi Coast’s glorious culture, artistic heritage and vibrant culinary scene. Depending on where you cruise, you can enjoy Michelin-starred restaurants and authentic trattorias. Further south, the volcanic Aeolian Islands and Sicily reveal some of the most dramatic landscapes and fascinating historical sites in the Mediterranean. Spend a few days either end of your Italian itinerary discovering these Mediterranean marvels.
From the historical city of Naples and the chic islands of Capri and Ischia across the bay to Positano, the Amalfi Coast provides the perfect backdrop to a truly indulgent charter. Step aboard your yacht in the lively, bustling epicenter of Naples and cruise across the bay to Capri. Every bit the island for the jet set, the island also has an unassumingly intriguing side that adds to its beauty and charm. Known as the “island of wellbeing”, neighboring Ischia is famous for its thermal springs and therapeutic spas – the perfect antidote to Capri’s glamor.
Back on the mainland, Ravello is all about its romantic views and charming medieval passageways. In fact they have inspired some of the great figures of classic music and literature across the centuries. Inland the ancient city of Pompeii remains awe inspiring. Further along the coastline the iconic cliff face of Sorrento shimmers beneath the dormant yet still formidable Mount Vesuvius. Across the Gulf of Salerno, the charming town of Positano and off-lying Li Galli archipelago offer a stunning anchorage. Further south the Aeolian Islands and Sicily can easily be combined with an Amalfi coast itinerary. The islands have the air of a place where time has stood still.
Beautiful and intoxicating, Italy’s glamorous Amalfi Coast remains as popular as ever.
