Amalfi Coast & Capri Yacht Charter

Pastel villages clinging to the cliffs, the Faraglioni of Capri, hidden coves and lunch at a beach restaurant reached by tender: an Amalfi Coast yacht charter is the classic Italian summer at sea. From the Gulf of Naples to Positano, Amalfi and Capri, here is how to plan it with Navawave.

Why explore the Amalfi Coast and Capri by yacht

In summer the coastal road is congested and the ferries are crowded. From the sea, everything is different: you move between Positano, Amalfi, Capri and Nerano in minutes, anchor in bays that cannot be reached by land, and step ashore only when you want to. A private yacht is the most comfortable and private way to enjoy one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

Our yacht for the Amalfi Coast: Sea Sons

Sea Sons, our 22-metre Ferretti 700, welcomes up to eight guests in four cabins with a crew of three, and regularly cruises the Gulf of Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. To move faster between Capri, Positano and the beach clubs, add a dedicated chase boat. Through our network we can also offer larger motor yachts and superyachts for bigger groups.

Best time to charter on the Amalfi Coast

The season runs from May to October. June and September are ideal: warm sea, long days and fewer boats at anchor. July and August are the busiest months, especially around Capri and Positano, so we recommend booking several months in advance.

Embarkation ports

The most convenient bases are Naples, Castellammare di Stabia and Salerno, all close to Naples airport. We can also arrange embarkation in Capri, as well as helicopter or car transfers through our concierge services.

How much does an Amalfi Coast yacht charter cost?

Crewed charters are quoted per week, plus VAT and an APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), usually 30–35% of the fee, for fuel, food, drinks and port fees, fully accounted for at the end of the trip. Mooring in Capri and Positano in high season can add to running costs. Contact us for a tailored proposal, or build your itinerary.

Frequently asked questions

Where do Amalfi Coast yacht charters start?

Usually from Naples, Castellammare di Stabia or Salerno. Embarkation in Capri is possible on request.

Can we visit the Blue Grotto by yacht?

The yacht anchors nearby and the Grotto is visited on the small local rowing boats, when sea conditions allow.

Is a week enough for the Amalfi Coast and Capri?

Yes, one week covers Procida, Ischia, Capri, Nerano, Positano and Amalfi at a relaxed pace. A shorter charter of three or four days can focus on Capri and Positano.

Can we add a chase boat?

Yes. A chase boat is ideal on the Amalfi Coast for transfers to beach clubs, restaurants and harbours that are too busy for a larger yacht.
