What are the best destinations to visit on an Amalfi yacht charter?
Some of the best destinations include Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. Let’s explore each of these enchanting destinations in more detail.
Sorrento
Sorrento’s stunning harbour, facing the bay of Naples, makes for the ideal spot to embark at this pretty destination. Sorrento boasts a laid-back feel compared to other ports-of-call along the Amalfi Coast, making it a great spot to enjoy a leisurely browse around its local boutique or enjoy a rustic Italian meal at one of the many eateries.
Head to the Piazza Tassa, the central square that sits at the heart of Sorrento, during your luxury boat hire along the Amalfi Coast. The square is flanked by restaurants and boutiques and is a great spot to watch the world go by.
Sorrento is best known for its citrus fruits, including an abundance of lemons that grow on nearby lemon groves. The lemons are used to make Sorrento’s famous export, limoncello, a lemon flavoured liquor. You’ll find this delicious liquor in many of the boutiques alongside a host of limoncello-inspired delicacies, from gelatos to cakes.
Positano
Arguably the most photogenic destination along the Amalfi coast, the cliffside village of Positano is a popular Amalfi yacht charter destination. Drop-anchor and explore this pretty village at your own pace.
From Positano, you can also walk the Path of the Gods, or Ill Sentiero degli Dei, a stunning four-mile coastal path that offers breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding countryside.
Soak up the sun at one of Positano’s private beach clubs or make the most of your luxury yacht charter’s many tenders and toys on the azure blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. For those seeking a lively spot to party the night away, head to Music on the Rocks, an ultra-hip beach front night club.
Amalfi
The town of Amalfi – the largest along the Amalfi Coast – is a must-visit during a crewed Amalfi boat hire.
A highlight is its stunning Roman Catholic cathedral, which dates back to the 9th century. Perched in the Piazza del Duomo, the cathedral is a fascinating blend of architectural styles, including Romanesque, Byzantine, Gothic, and Baroque elements due to additions over the years. Luxury boutiques and galleries line the cobbled streets, along with a host of gourmet restaurants, ideal for sampling the local cuisine.
After a day of exploration, retreat back to your luxury yacht charter and enjoy a delicious Italian-inspired meal prepared by your yacht’s chef while watching the sun set.
Capri
The island of Capri and its jaw dropping beauty and ultra-exclusive offerings attracts VIPs, celebrities, and royalty, making it a must on an Amalfi yacht charter.
Capri’s rocky coastline is dotted with many rocky coves, almost all of which are accessible only by boat. The Blue Grotto is Capri’s most famous, named for its shimmering blue water. Others include the Green Grotto, which turns the sea into a deep green, emerald color.
On land, it’s well worth visiting the Gardens of Augustus, pretty botanical gardens that boast stunning views across the island of Capri and the Mediterranean Sea.
For sun seekers, relax at one of Capri’s famed beach clubs. La Fontelina, with its iconic blue and white deck chairs, is considered one of the island’s most exclusive.
