Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter
Embark on a bespoke odyssey along the Amalfi Coast—a theatrical landscape where sheer limestone cliffs, lemon-scented terraced gardens, and sapphire waters converge. Whether you command the journey on a bareboat charter or indulge in the five-star service of a fully crewed luxury yacht, navigating this coastline is the ultimate expression of la dolce vita. From the high-octane glamour of Positano to the legendary allure of Capri, a High Tide charter offers an intimate perspective of Italy that remains hidden from the land.
Stretching between the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno, the Amalfi Coast is heralded by UNESCO as an "outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape." It is a realm where traditional charm meets modern opulence, creating a sanctuary for the discerning traveler. Here, you’ll find a sophisticated blend of elite beach clubs, Michelin-starred cliffside dining, and artisan boutiques, all set against a backdrop of rugged, timeless beauty.
The coastline is defined by its dramatic architecture: pastel-hued villas clinging to vertical rock faces and ancient cathedrals perched above the sea. A yacht charter provides the only way to truly appreciate this vertical soul, allowing you to bypass the winding coastal roads and inhabit a moving sanctuary. Discover a world of kaleidoscopic harbors, secluded sea caves, and cobbled piazzas that have retained their authentic Italian spirit for centuries—a journey where every horizon is a postcard and every anchorage is a hidden gem.

The Amalfi Coast: A Masterclass in Mediterranean Grandeur
The Amalfi Coast is a theatrical landscape of sheer limestone cliffs and deep-water fjords that demand to be viewed from the sea. While the world flocks to its clifftop roads, the most discerning travelers know that the only way to truly experience this UNESCO masterpiece is from the deck of a private yacht. Starting your journey in Naples, you are immediately immersed in the soul of Italy—a city of vibrant contrasts, neoclassical architecture, and a historic center that stands as the largest and most culturally significant in Europe.
A charter through the Tyrrhenian Sea is as much a culinary odyssey as it is a sailing one. From the legendary Neapolitan espresso and wood-fired pizza of the city to the volcanic wines and sun-drenched produce of the coastal hills, every meal is an event. The mineral-rich soils of the region have blessed the Amalfi Coast with a bounty of flavors—lemon groves, sea-to-table seafood, and elite vineyards—that your private chef will curate into a bespoke menu tailored specifically to your palate.
Chartering a luxury yacht unlocks the "private" side of Italy—an experience that is intimate, unhurried, and entirely devoid of the region’s notorious land-based congestion. Instead of navigating the winding, crowded coastal roads or adhering to rigid hotel schedules, you inhabit a moving sanctuary. Wake up to a new, breathtaking horizon each morning, with the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean just steps from your cabin.
With High Tide, you gain the freedom to explore the "Divine Coast" on your own terms. Anchor beneath the pastel-hued verticality of Positano, indulge in a long, sun-drenched lunch at a secluded beach club on Capri, or sip sunset cocktails in the shadow of Ravello’s clifftop villas. Whether you are discovering hidden sea caves only accessible by tender or securing a coveted berth in a historic harbor, your itinerary is a reflection of your rhythm.
With a dedicated crew to manage every detail—from water toy deployments to securing the best table at a seaside trattoria—you are free to settle into the effortless rhythm of la dolce vita. This is not merely travel; it is a personalized immersion into Italian excellence, combining five-star service with the timeless charm of the world's most beautiful coastline.

The Amalfi Coast: A Masterclass in La Dolce Vita
The Amalfi Coast is a sun-drenched masterpiece where sheer limestone cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea and pastel-hued villages cling to the rocks. While its coastal roads are legendary, the only way to truly unlock the "Divine Coast" is by sea. From the deck of a private yacht, you bypass the congested clifftop traffic to experience this UNESCO World Heritage site with total exclusivity—gliding between iconic harbors and secret grottos that remain unreachable to the land-bound traveler.
Your odyssey begins in Naples, a vibrant maritime hub offering a premier selection of high-performance motor yachts, elegant sailing catamarans, and classic monohulls. Upon arrival at Naples International Airport (NAP), a private 45-minute transfer brings you to the harbor, where your vessel and crew await. Whether you choose the rapid pace of a motor yacht to cover the coastline in a week or the leisurely stability of a 10-night catamaran charter, your journey is curated to your exact rhythm.
As you navigate south, the coastline unveils its treasures in a theatrical progression. Explore Sorrento, perched high above the bay with its scent of lemon groves, before dropping anchor beneath the vertical splendor of Positano. The journey extends to the glamorous Isle of Capri, where you can moor beneath the iconic Faraglioni rocks and tender into the ethereal Blue Grotto—a Roman marine temple illuminated by a haunting, neon-blue light. Beyond the glamour, the Phlegraean Islands of Ischia and Procida offer a quieter allure, featuring volcanic thermal spas and kaleidoscopic streets frozen in time.
=The Amalfi Coast is a destination of vibrant energy, but it demands tactical planning. While the high summer months offer peak Mediterranean glamour, they also bring the occasional coastal breeze. For those seeking the most tranquil sailing conditions and quietest anchorages, we recommend the "Golden Windows" of May-June or September-October. Should you choose a peak July or August charter, our captains specialize in "itinerary agility," adjusting your course to ensure smooth passages and secluded swims away from the seasonal crowds.
