The Amalfi Coast: Italy’s Seaside Gem

Amalfi Coast
Southwest Italy is a haven of tradition, far from the tourist traps in Rome and the more heavily cruised Riviera. If your idea of paradise is Italy at its natural best, then the Amalfi Coast is the destination you want to visit during your next yacht charter vacation.

Steep, rocky hillsides run along the Amalfi Coast like a picture frame atop the clear blue sea. The vistas are majestic from your charter yacht, which allows you to see far more of the region than any land tour ever possibly could. Many charter yachts offer the chance to enjoy the view from a sundeck hot tub at sunset, when the scenery becomes breathtakingly beautiful. (Click photo for video of Amalfi)

An occasional town appears at the base of harbors that time has carved from stone, offering an inlet for your charter yacht to anchor or dock. Adorable, historic homes and shops await you onshore, where you can meander along twisting, winding, narrow stone streets and simply take in the scenery. Family-run cafes offer espresso and limoncello liqueur, which is a specialty of the region. To sit at an outdoor café and people-watch while sipping your favorite drink is to enjoy a true sliver of heaven.

The high season on the Amalfi Coast is July and August, and top charter yachts are currently booking their prime weeks. Now is the time to reserve your dates if you would like to experience the Amalfi Coast’s natural pleasures this summer.

A few of the motoryachts that have been seen cruising on the Amalfi Coast:

 

INEVITABLE

This 164-foot Feadship underwent an extensive refit in 2008.   Inevitable accommodates 10 guests in five cabins and also boasts a crew of 10, which means a personalized level of service at the one-to-one level.

SILVER DREAM

Pure, modern elegance is the only way to describe this 141-foot stunner, with her striking black and silver exterior that turns all heads in every marina.  She features a main-deck master suite, which includes a private study, lounge, and dressing room.


BARAKA

The 191-foot Proteksan-Turquoise Baraka offers something rare in luxury yacht charter: six king-bed cabins. Also noteworthy is that Baraka is wheelchair accessible, including use of an elevator that services all decks up to the bridge deck.
