Italy is the perfect place for sea lovers. A coastline of outstanding beauty, the Amalfi Coast is one of the most romantic and alluring destinations in the Mediterranean, offering a stunning backdrop to your Italian charter escape, with luxury harbors and chic marinas to dock your yacht.
Sailing in the Bay of Naples and along the Amalfi Coast, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, you will encounter marvelous volcanic islands, crystal clear waters and memories of ancients cultures. Chartering a yacht is the perfect way to explore deserted coves, lovely blue bays and the smaller islets.
Dock each night and explore gorgeous places like Positano, Capri and Amalfi without the daytime summer crowds. Board your superyacht in Naples, one of the biggest metropolis at the Mediterranean, and cruise to the beautiful island of Ischia.

Procida
Terraced and cultivated with vines and orchards, Procida is located a short 20-minute cruise east of the island of Ischia. Enjoy water sports and swimming before going ashore and visit the small town with characteristic flat roofed cubic houses.
