Italy is no stranger to sailors; the novices and the experienced can all find something to suit them! There is a large choice of marinas and harbours for safe mooring, and the optimum sailing season is between May and October, whether your yacht charter is with or without a skipper. Conditions vary according to location, although the summer months are generally calmer, with dry, sunny weather and milder winds.
As the country with the most UNESCO world heritage sites in the world, Italy is an archaeological haven. Charter your yacht from Rome and explore historical treasures such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum, or wander the streets of Pompeii and see the ghostly ruins of a town destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. Italy is a history lover's dream, and even those less enthusiastic will be amazed by many of the sights the country has on offer, so make sure you dedicate even just a day to exploring the magnificent ruins because a yacht charter is about more than just sailing, discover the charm of Italy!
With its famous cuisine, it need not be reminded that Italy is the motherland of world-favourites of pizza and pasta, so your charter holiday here is sure to be seasoned with many delicious dishes. But don’t miss out on trying new Italian specialities just because you’re familiar with the famous ones… explore the Palermo food market if you’re cruising past Sicily, and sample the locally grown produce. Or if you charter from Tuscany, try ‘Ribollita’, a soup brimming with a fusion of fresh vegetables, or locally grown truffles, one of the world’s most coveted, expensive foods – not to be missed! And then, of course, savour the sweet flavours of Lasagne the way it should be made.
The UNESCO-listed landscape is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking breathtaking beauty, charming villages, and a relaxed, Mediterranean vibe. With its cliffs overlooking the turquoise sea, historic churches dotting hilltop towns, and fresh, delicious cuisine, the Amalfi Coast offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. The Amalfi Coast is famous for its cliffs, stunning beaches, and clear waters, making it one of the most picturesque destinations in Italy and a must-see for those who charter a yacht in the area.

Italy is home to an abundance of beaches, diverse and unique, but all with one thing in common: they are all stunningly beautiful! Renting a boat on the Mediterranean is, without a doubt, the optimum way to explore these little patches of heaven. If you charter from Calabria (the tip of the boot), venture into Tropea, and pay a visit to Marasusa Beach; a strip of powdery white sand sheltered by towering cliffs above, looking out onto a sea of turquoise ripples… although a spot which can get busy in peak season, you could sail by in the early evening when the crowds will have become more sparse and you can enjoy the more tranquil beauty of the beach. If you’re navigating off the west coast, head to Ponza: a tiny island home to Chiaia di Luna beach. This beach is a breathtaking natural formation of 328ft volcanic rock towering over a narrow crescent of silky white sand and the rich sapphire sea… it has to be seen to be believed! Or if you’re sailing around the Maddalena islands, take a trip to the Cala Granara beach on Spargi, where palm-fringed, white sand beaches and sparkling shallow waters make it feel more like an island out of the Caribbean. This is also a popular spot for snorkeling, so make sure you pack your gear on board (note: it may be included in your yacht charter price) and go and explore life both above and beneath the glistening waves.
Many international airports are located all over Italy, so flying into a spot near your yacht charter base will be easy!
