Luxury yacht charter Italy

Whether aboard a large superyacht charter with crew looking after your every need, or a bareboat sailing yacht, a luxury charter Italy will allow you to enjoy the best of Italian waters, islands and coastline.

From the Italian Riviera in the north to the volcanic Aeolian Island archipelago to the south, to the Tuscan archipelago and Pontine Island group between, a luxury yacht charter Italy is always a memorable sailing holiday.

On your superyacht or private yacht charter you can just do an Italian Riviera yacht charter, visiting the likes of Cinque Terre, San Remo and La Spezia on the Ligurian Sea on a shorter sailing trip. If you have a skipper and crew to look after sailing it for you, a much longer run is possible over a couple of weeks.

Explore the Tyrrhenian Sea and southern Italy on a longer trip. Sardinia's Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) and Porto Cervo, or perhaps Sicily and its nearby islands like the Aeolian Island archipelago (Stromboli being the most famous). The Pontine Island group are close to major cosmopolitan centres like Naples and even Rome. The Amalfi Coast near Naples and ultra fashionable island of Capri are a draw here too. North again will take you to the Tuscan Islands where you can escape the world in complete luxury aboard your crewed yacht charter.

Perhaps part of a Croatia yacht charter, you could even venture up the Adriatic Sea as far as Venice on the east coast to the north or across the Ionian Sea to the Ionian Islands. A run to French Riviera destinations like St Tropez, Cannes and Monaco is also possible.You just need to speak with the skipper to discuss your Italy yacht charter itinerary.

Private Yacht Charter Italy

In possibly the most stylish country on the planet, a private yacht charter Italy is possibly the most stylish way to enjoy it. With crew seeing to your every request and sailing the boat itself across the Eastern Mediterranean, you can arrange for food to be cooked just how you like it and for events aboard such as a casino night, time ashore on deserted beaches, and all the fun to be had in the towns and cities ashore. See and be seen in one of the resorts of the Italian Riviera, or just hide away afloat, away from the world with the coastline merely an image in the windows. The choice is yours!

Italy Luxury Charter Types

Bareboat Charter

Though you will often have to have a sailing license for a larger vessel, a bareboat luxury yacht charter will give you complete freedom and privacy to do what you want. This will often come with en suite heads in all the staterooms, an AC generator and all the comforts of home as you captain your own ship on this 48ft+ monohull or catamaran.

Skippered

A skippered yacht charter can range from a 45ft+ sailing yacht or a 46ft+ catamaran. The skipper aboard will look after the sailing and make suggestions as to your next destinations, with you playing as much or as little a role in getting from A-B as you want. It is customary to pay a tip at the end of the trip, on top of the €100-€150 a day fee for the skipper you pay as well as the basic charter fee.

Crewed

A crewed yacht charter could mean a 60ft yacht with skipper and crew, but could also mean a superyacht or crewed charter with a team of people looking after your every need. As well as sailing the vessel up the Italian waters of the eastern Mediterranean, they will cook, look after the housekeeping and water toys, and provide you with the service you expect at the top end of yacht charter holiday experiences.

Yacht Types in Italy

Sailing Yacht

Ranging from a 50ft luxury charter yacht to a 104ft schooner rigged superyacht, a luxury sailing yacht charter can mean a variety of things. Coming bareboat, skippered or fully crewed, there is a sailing yacht to suit almost every budget.

Catamaran

Ranging from 46ft to over 100ft LOA, you can charter a luxury power catamaran or sailing catamaran with crew or bareboat. They are faster, more stable and thanks to the wide beam, far more spacious than monohulls of a similar size. Thanks to having a lower draft, they can also get closer inshore should you want!

Motor Yacht

Again with skipper, crew or bareboat; a luxury motor yacht charter can range in size from 50ft right up to 150 metres plus. Quicker, less dependent on the wind, and often with water toys aboard, a luxury motor yacht charter is one of relaxation and fun with the added thrill of a speed as you island hop at 30 knots!

Superyacht Charter

The sky's the limit on a superyacht charter holiday. Coming as sailing yacht and motor yacht charter yachts, expect to have almost everything you want catered to by expert crew who will sail the vessel and look after your every need.

What can you do on a Luxury charter in Italy?

There is an immense variety of things you can do on an Italian luxury yacht charter. Shop until you drop in a fashionable resort (you never know who you might meet) and dine at some of the best restaurants in the world. Chill out on deserted beaches only accessibly by sea, or hang out at a fashionable nightclub. You can also enjoy the natural wonders of the area, from the volcanic islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the plunging cliffs of Cinque Terre on the Ligurian Sea and the awesome beauty of the Emerald Coast of Sardinia. It really is down to you!

What does an average day on an Italy luxury charter look like?

A typical day can vary according to what you want from your luxury yacht charter Italy. If hanging out in a fashionable resort is your thing, then you can sail to a number of them, spending the night aboard the charter yacht and days ashore.

If escape is your thing you may wish to have the yacht moored off different bays away from it all, or perhaps a Pontine Island considered remote enough by the Romans and Fascists they were used as a place of exile. With one of the most varied choices to be had from a Mediterranean Sea sailing destination, it really is down to you.

Why Italy is superb for a luxury Yacht Charter

For those who want a dose of fashion and Italian style, the SW coast of Italy has it in spades. Many of the resorts are at least as good as the French Riviera and the clubs as good as larging it on a Balearic Island.

At certain times of year, the sailing can be comparable to the British Virgin Islands too, with the great breezes and comfortable temperatures making for great fun on a sailing boat. With its world beating food and wine, Italy is a perfect yacht charter destination.
