You don’t get better than charming Capri. The graceful gem of the lemon-scented Amalfi Coast, Capri is pure poetry and worthy of a thousand sonnets. Dwarfed by soaring sea cliffs and penned in by the sparkling sea, any other small would disappear against so much drama but not Capri. Brimming with wisteria frothed villas, brightly painted buildings, gardens cloaked in kaleidoscopic colour framed by pergolas, and plump piazzas that are prime people-watching territory, Capri doesn’t fail to utterly enchant. Charter guests will want to visit the famed Grotta Azzurra - this flooded cave was believed to be home to sea nymphs and magic back in Roman days thanks to its iridescent hues of unbelievable blue. The Gardens of Augustus are also worth a stroll and the Villa San Michele is sure to steal your heart. With incredible seafood on offer and divine confection, you won’t go hungry in this happening summer spot.
Positano is a dramatic, cliffside village on the Amalfi Coast, and without doubt one of the most photographed and filmed locations in Italy. This chic retreat is a must stop on your charter.
Much like Capri, Amalfi attracts tourists of great prestige. The 50 kilometers of Amalfi coastline stretch primarily from Sorrento to Salerno. It remains a unique and incredibly beautiful location. The hilly towns display Italian engineering and architecture at its finest, with terraced houses dangling from the steep cliffs. This area is a sight to behold.
For almost two centuries, Sorrento has been a popular tourist destination, perched on a plateau above the sea with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples. The historic seaside town has learned to cope with and benefit from tourism, and in exchange, it provides a traditional 'Mediterranean summer holiday' experience - without losing its Italian character and charm.
Ischia is an international tourist destination situated peacefully in the Gulf of Naples, with crystal-clear seas, untouched landscapes, cultural sites and many other surprises. Its robust shoreline is distinguished by a series of headlands, streets and beaches where sea water flows a few feet from shoreline with hot water from thermomineral springs. Indeed, the volcanic island hides a high concentration of hot springs and a wide variety of waters in its underground, which make Ischia 'the capital of the Europe's thermal spa.More than 300 spa areas allow the rest of the mind and the body to regenerate. In Ischia, also called "The Green Island" it is a springtime eruption of colors and fragrances because of its numerous pine trees and lush Mediterranean vegetation. The wineries, planted on terraced grounds, give a special touch to the island's overall landscape.
The island of Ponza is situated between Rome and Naples off the coast of the Lazio Region. As you enter the charismatic port on your charter, you are greeted by its lush green landscape. This island and its surrounding coastline are best explored by boat, as it is a rustic destination and all the modern comforts will be on your yacht, but it is certainly a place steeped in tradition and charm.
Sitting pretty off the coast of Italy (between Rome and Naples), Ventotene is the smallest inhabited island of the Pontine Archipelago. Famed for being estimated to be the island of the Sirens in Homer’s Odyssey. The island is rich in history and was once a favoured place of play for holidaying romans. It was even the place of exile for Emperors and members of these dynasties. Even to this day, you can visit the extravagant former haunts of exiled royalty. Make no mistake, the island is tiny and can easily be crossed in an hour or so on foot. Yet charter guests will find plenty to take their fancy, including many stashed away coves, ancient roman remains, colourful homes, and beautiful beaches.
The Island of Procida is close in proximity to the two more popular destinations for luxury yacht - Capri and Ischia. The diminutive award to Procida does not really reflect the splendor and allure of this incredibly beautiful Italian destination. The word "Procida" comes from a Neapolitan term that literally means "soft beaches."
