In short
La Dolce Vita by Sea
A 7 day Amalfi Coast yacht charter starts in Naples and visits Procida, Capri, Positano, Amalfi, Nerano and Ischia before returning to Naples. Distances are very short, rarely more than an hour, which leaves long days for swimming and lunches ashore. The season runs May to October; June and September are the best balance of weather and space. A crewed week typically costs around €65,000 plus expenses.
No coastline in the Mediterranean is better seen from the water than the Amalfi Coast. The road is narrow and crowded; by yacht you arrive in Positano and Amalfi the way visitors did for centuries, straight onto the beach.
This loop from Naples adds the three islands of the bay: glamorous Capri, thermal Ischia and colourful Procida, with the celebrated seafood restaurants of Nerano in between.

Questions
Planning this route
When is the best time for an Amalfi Coast yacht charter?
May to October. June and September offer warm water and easier berths. July and August are the busiest months, when anchoring off rather than berthing is often the most relaxed option.
Where does an Amalfi Coast charter start?
Naples is the main base, 20 minutes from the international airport. Charters also start from Sorrento, Salerno or Capri itself on request.
How much does a week on the Amalfi Coast cost?
A crewed week in the West Mediterranean typically costs around €65,000, with most yachts between €40,000 and €130,000 and superyachts up to more than €500,000 per week. Italian VAT and an advance provisioning allowance are charged additionally.
Can we combine the Amalfi Coast with Sardinia or Sicily?
Yes. With ten days or more the route can continue to the Aeolian islands and Sicily, or across to Sardinia. In one week we recommend staying in the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
