AlfaYacht.com AYRCFO (Alfa Yacht Register of Charter Fleet Operators) information for ITALY
Yacht charter cruising in Italy ranges from the backwater traditional fishing villages to the exclusive super marinas, appropriate anchorages for your family holiday or hospitality yacht charter. Italy boasts over 5000 miles of coastline with the yachting scene (excepting the Italia Riviera) heavily weighted in the south west coast of the country. Italy's essence is a combination of history, high culture, architecture and design, gastronomic excellence and these are expressed just as faithfully in Italy's coastal and island areas, frequented by the yacht charter family or business. Although Italy's best yacht charter period would be widely regarded as May to October, charter boats are available all year round.
The Italian Riviera, Genoa and San Remo are easily accessible from Cannes, Monaco and southern France. To the south of Genoa lies Portofino, one of the world's most exclusive and prestigious yachting centres. Porto Cervo (Sardinia) is another such exclusive port.
The Amalfi Coast offers a traditional and welcoming entry to Italy's southern waters and the agricultural south of the country is a rural background for world famous art and architecture. The historical port of Positano is well known for its health resort status. Naples is the cosmopolitan and bustling home to plenty of racing yachts and is also a major commercial port and the Gulf of Naples offers yacht charter in the shadow of Vesuvius.
The island of Capri is a botanist's paradise with its glorious flora. It offers pebble beaches and safe, reserved moorings
The Eolian islands are famed for their eruptions of volcanic lava, a true sight at night for any nearby sailor. The microclimate with breezes running down fo the coast can be of welcome assistance when sailing in the region.
Those in search of a colourful, multi cultural, multi faceted history will find fascination with Sicily. Both the Lipari islands and Sicily are, again, turbulent with volcanic activity. Sicily is renowned for its cooking and it offers sheletered harbours to the south, ports and good fishing.
Sardinia is home to a great range of plant and wildlife. Crisp sand beaches, clear blue waters and little visited coves await the visitor in addition to a full range of watersports including scuba diving, water skiing and sailing.
