Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary: the good life at a stone’s throw from the sea

Start in Naples
An excellent place to start your crewed yacht charter on the Amalfi Coast is the harbour of Naples, where you can moor during the first night. Bursting with history, culture, art and gastronomy, a luxury yacht charter in Naples is a truly remarkable yachting experience. The Italian city has long held the reputation for its flamboyant attitude and vitality for life, deemed so unique that it is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A day trip to Pompeii and Vesuvius is a must-see on your Amalfi Coast yacht charter, as are the endless  frescoes, sculptures and mesmerising architecture you will see as you stroll through the cobbled streets of this beautiful city.

Of course, no Amalfi Coast yacht charter would be complete without indulging in the local delicacy – Pizza Verace Napoletana. In the evening, we suggest you go ashore for a drink or a tasty dinner on the waterfront in Mergellina.

Sorrento
During the second day of your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary, you can navigate along the coast, and after a few nautical miles, you will find Sorrento. As scents of fresh lemon and bougainvillaea fill the air, it is little surprise that Sorrento is one of the best places to visit on an Amalfi Coast yacht charter.

Here, you can relax on board your Amalfi Coast yacht charter and then go onshore for a quiet afternoon of tasting local specialities or for a night out in one of the nightclubs in town.

Make the most of Sorrento’s finest offerings with one of the many hiking trails that hug the Lattari Mountains and Sorrentine Peninsula. Stretch your legs after a day aboard your Amalfi Coast yacht charter and witness sunset views you’ll never forget. Don’t forget to end the day with gelato and peruse the Piazza Tasso, home to winding lanes, fine Italian stores and frescoed hotels. 

Positano, Li Galli islands
On day three of your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary, you will reach Nerano, a beautiful bay for wild-sea lovers. Marina del Cantone boasts numerous restaurants where you can taste superb local specialities.

A short distance from there is Positano, where you can spend the third day of your crewed yacht charter on the Amalfi Coast relaxing, swimming, discovering the town and shopping.

After a shopping tour, you can go on board and leave for an excursion to the three Li Galli islets located just in front of Positano. On the largest islet is the villa built by Le Corbusier, where a famous ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev spent the last period of his life.

Positano, Amalfi
Next on your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary is the beautiful Praiano, where the Emerald Grotto and the spectacular fjord of Furore are situated. You’ll see the first resort of Amalfi is La “Vite”, which is located 4 km from the city centre, bordering the village of Conca Dei Marini.

Positano is the perfect stop-off for a weekend of pure indulgence and exploration of the nearby islets, such as Li Galli and Gallo Lungo, both of which boast a long maritime history. Make sure to add the sublime sandy beaches, mystical sea caves, and grottos spread across the Tyrrhenian’s rugged coastline to your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary!

Continuing, you can reach Amalfi, where you can moor overnight. Here you will discover the beauty of the town, an ancient maritime Republic famous for its beautiful Arab-Sicilian cathedral, now dedicated to Saint Andrew, the local patron saint. You can go through the fascinating alleys before returning on board your crewed yacht charter on the Amalfi Coast.

Vietri sul Mare, Maiori, Minori
On the fifth day of your Amalfi Coast yacht charter itinerary, you can organize an excursion to the beautiful Vietri Sul Mare, famous for its ceramics.

On the way back, you can stop for a swim in Cetara. After Erchie, a tiny fishing village, you will find Maiori and Minori. In Maiori, you can go for a refreshing swim in a majestic cave and later enjoy lunch at one of the exquisite seaside restaurants.

Make sure to try the local speciality – the famous lemon “delizie.” You can then moor in Amalfi or Positano for the night.

Sorrento bay, Naples
On the sixth day of sailing the Amalfi Coast, you can navigate back along while admiring Sorrento bay and a wonderful Amalfi coastline. You will be able to reach Naples by the afternoon.

Once in Naples, you can either finish your crewed yacht charter on the Amalfi Coast or carry on sailing or cruising following the itinerary of Capri, Ischia, Ponza and Ventotene.
