The romantic Amalfi Coast is one of Europe's most breathtaking, with rugged cliffs falling precipitously into crystal seas. From your Amalfi yacht charter you’ll gaze upon lovely, whitewashed villas cling precariously to the cliff faces, together with lemon groves and a single winding road that services small towns dotted around the coast. Foremost amongst these towns is the eponymous Amalfi, the glamorous Sorrento, the picturesque Positano and the refined Rafello. The Amalfi Coast is a 50km long stretch of coast south of the Sorrentine Peninsula, though we also include the wonderful destinations within the Bay of Naples and the Pontine Island group. This inclusion best illustrates a great benefit of sailing the Amalfi Coast; the ability to see and experience so much more than you would on land. Sail from village to village, island to island, unencumbered by the many tourist buses and hectic Italian drivers that dominate the single winding road around the coast.

Procida is the Bay of Naples smallest island at only four square kilometres large and its best kept secret with hidden lemon groves, weathered fishermen and colourful pastel-hued houses. The charming town has preserved its original beauty and traditions. It is so picturesque you’ll be whipping that camera out!
Ventotene, also part of the Pontine Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and can only be accessed by boat. This small island of 0.5 square miles and was formed by volcanic rocks once used to build houses which you will see when you enter into the port.
Ponza, shaped like a crescent moon, is part of the Pontine Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea and just like Ventotene, can only be accessed by boat. When you arrive into Ponza town by yacht you are immediately greeted by a semicircle of vibrant colourful buildings arranged on the slopes. This is the hub of the island which is has a buzzing vibrant atmosphere with its array of restaurants and bars.
Palmarola is a mostly uninhabited island and is part of the Potine Islands. It happens to be the second largest of the island group but is extremely rocky and dotted with bays, cliffs and grottos. You will find a couple of small ports where you can moor and find a restaurant.
Zannone serves as a wildlife refuge for some flora which are no longer found elsewhere in the Mediterranean, it is part of the Circeo National Park. The island has clear blue waters and is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving.

Ischia is the largest of the islands in the Bay of Naples and is a volcanic island 10km long and 7km wide. Ischia is known as the island of eternal youth because of its hot springs in Campania, rich in springs, muds, fumaroles and sands, as well as eight thermal-mineral reservoirs, offering relief for all kinds of health problems.
Capri, rugged and rocky yet stylish and beautiful, this island is a short sail from Naples to the north and the Amalfi Coast to the south and is regarded by many as the most beautiful place on earth so it is an obligatory stop. The island is steeped in legends and myths and known in Greek mythology as the isle of the sirens, and was a favoured resort of the Roman emperors.
You cannot visit the Amalfi Coast and not stop off at Amalfi, the heart of this magnificent Italian coastline. Built into a gorge in the high mountain, visitors to Amalfi can meander around this pretty little town with its bustling piazzas, small beach and its beautiful medieval Cathedral. It originally dates back to the first century A.D. when the Roman aristocracy built luxurious villas in this area.
Salerno is the capital of the Amalfi Coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea, which includes the famous towns of Amalfi and Positano. It is a pretty town, scattered with narrow streets, medieval churches and houses and trendy wine bars. It is commonly known for its Scuola Medica Salernitana, the first medical school in the world.
The characteristic town of the Amalfi Coast is none other than Positano, perched precariously on the side of a cliff-gorge. Known for its lavishness, beauty, charm, celebrity status and colourful architecture, this is certainly an enchanting town.
Sorrento, overlooking the Bay of Naples, is positioned on the coast in the Gulf of Naples between green hills and clear blue sea. With its jaw dropping panorama view appealing to an abundance of tourists each year, you can see Vesuvius, the city of Naples, and the islands of Capri and Ischia from Sorrento.
Vico Equense is located in the greater bay of Naples. It’s relatively close to Vesuvius and local companies offer organise excursions to the volcano. The old town is home to a rare church type which was built during the fourteenth century and is a rare example of Gothic architecture.
Forio is the second largest town on Ischia and is home to around 12000 people. It’s a picturesque little town with shops, restaurants, bars and cafes scattered around. If you take a walk around the town we recommend finding the “Torrione” which is an ancient lookout tower built to warn of any impending invasions.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to walk around Procida on your first night then we really recommend doing so. The town is a patchwork of secrets alleyways and pastel-hued houses. If you have a little more time then head to the island of Vivara linked to Procida by a bridge.

We have two bases in the Amalfi Coast region of Italy – Salerno and Procida. Salerno is the capital city of the Amalfi region and is located 45 minutes down the coast from Naples, the primary airport in the region. Salerno is a major city that provides all the amenities that you could wish for prior to embarking on a sailing holiday. Procida is an island just off the coast of Naples, famed for its pastel coloured waterfront buildings. To get to Procida you must take a ferry and all in it takes around 90 minutes from the airport. It’s one of the most picturesque bases on our books and has all the amenities required for a great start to your holiday.
The primary gateway to the Amalfi Coast is Naples Airport. From the airport you may readily transfer to our bases, which is a maximum of 40 minutes, or if embarking from Salerno, you can take a local train via Naples main station. The logistics of reaching any of our Amalfi bases are straightforward.
Typically, the winds are light along the Amalfi Coast. In the afternoon a lovely south-west – south east wind comes through around a Force 2 – 4 dying down again at sunset. Sometimes it can get up to a Force 5. In the morning and the evening a light east – north east may prevail, although this rarely gets above a Force 2. There may be frequent days of calm, especially when sailing in the Gulf of Salerno. During the summer months the weather is at its warmest, with July and August being the hottest months with temperatures reaching the early 30’s and the most hours of daylight. If heading out earlier or later in the season temperatures are still in the 20’s, making it a pleasant time of year to sail.
Mooring fees on the Amalfi Coast can some of the most expensive in the Mediterranean. For a smaller catamaran you can expect to pay €300 per night in some of the main destinations, while mooring fees in Capri Grande Marina simply make this harbour prohibitively expensive (€2000 per night), There are however some wonderful anchorages and less touristy harbours that offer cheaper alternatives. Marina Piccola is a sheltered anchorage on the south side of Capri, for example, and Casamicciola or Sant Angelo d’Ischia on Ischia Island are better bets than the main Porto d’Ischia.
Charterers in Italy need a minimum of an RYA Day Skipper. We recommend having an ICC certificate (International Certificate of Competence). If you are in any doubt, please contact Seamaster and we will advised you or even get pre-approval.
