Posillipo Yacht Charter

May through September offers the warmest weather and calmest seas. July and August are peak season with higher prices and more tourists. June and September provide excellent sailing conditions with fewer crowds and more moderate pricing, making them ideal for most chartered vacations.

Most charters operate with a professional skipper or crew included, requiring no sailing license from guests. If you prefer a bareboat charter, Italy requires either an International Certificate of Competence or equivalent national maritime qualification. Your charter company will advise on specific requirements.

The Amalfi Coast with stops at Positano and Amalfi is the most popular sailing route. Other excellent options include Capri, Sorrento, and the Island of Ischia. Multi-day itineraries typically combine several coastal towns and islands, offering diverse anchoring and swimming opportunities.

No sailing experience is necessary when you hire a professional skipper or book a crewed charter. Many guests enjoy learning basic sailing techniques while the experienced crew handles navigation. Bareboat options require appropriate maritime certification and demonstrated prior sailing experience.

Weekly charter rates vary significantly based on vessel size, accommodations, and season timing. Mid-range yachts typically cost between moderate to substantial weekly rates, with peak summer months commanding premium pricing. Smaller or older vessels cost less, while luxury yachts command significantly higher weekly fees.

Our yachts feature fully equipped galleys, multiple cabins with private bathrooms, spacious saloons, and modern navigation systems. Most vessels include air conditioning, entertainment systems, and water sports equipment like snorkeling gear. Specific amenities vary by yacht and are detailed during your booking consultation.

Shorter charters of three to five days are sometimes available, particularly during shoulder seasons when demand is lower. Weekend getaways may be offered on select vessels with flexible scheduling. Pricing for shorter periods is typically higher per day than weekly rates.

Weather contingencies are built into all charter itineraries and flight plans. Professional skippers continuously monitor forecasts and adjust routes to ensure both safety and guest comfort. Sheltered anchorages provide protection during stormy conditions. Most charter contracts include flexibility for itinerary changes based on weather.
