A Yacht Holiday
The Tyrrhenian Sea and the Gulf of Salerno can be seen from the southern Italian coastline known as the Amalfi Coast. It is situated north of the Cilentan Coast and south of the Sorrentine Peninsula. The Coast is named after the town of Amalfi, which serves as its primary historical and political center, and is renowned throughout the world for its Mediterranean landscape and natural diversity. It is a well-liked vacation spot for jet setters. The Amalfi Coast was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 and now draws thousands of tourists from around the world each year, regardless of their means.
Vertigo's Choice
Naples
Your Italian adventure will begin and end at Sannazzaro Marina in Naples, but take some time to stroll around the lovely "Lungomare" and Riviera di Chiaia before setting sail. You are in the birthplace of the pizza, after all, so eat on board or treat yourself at one of the city's delicious restaurants.
Ischia
Any itinerary for Sicily must include a cruise to Lipari, the largest of the seven Aeolian Islands. Enjoy a swim in the numerous coves, only reachable by boat before heading into the bustling town to sample some of the fresh catch of the day. A rocky outcrop, translucent waters, and picturesque views across green hills towards the ancient fortified walls of Lipari Town.
Ponza
Step ashore and take pictures next to Ponza's vibrant homes as you are surrounded by dramatic coves and cliffs. Considered by many to be a less developed version of Capri, take an afternoon cruise before visiting Chiaia di Luna, one of the area's most well-known beaches.
Capri
The most coveted island on the coast, Capri, is only accessible by boat. Cruise overnight and wake up in Capri. Discover the Grotta Bianca, Natural Arch, Faraglioni rocks, and Marina Piccola Bay before enjoying some authentic Italian cuisine at Da Paolino's Lemon Trees restaurant to cap off the day.
Positano
You can reach the hillside village of Positano, which is the ideal watersports playground, after a one-hour cruise back towards the mainlands. Take advantage of the panoramic view of the town—dubbed the "gem of the divine coast"—and a five-course feast while dining on board.
Amalfi
It goes without saying that you must visit Amalfi while on the Amalfi Coast. There are numerous historical sites to explore in this area, including the imposing Cathedral St. Andrew and the Campanile (bell tower), which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its undeniable beauty and distinctive landscape.
Sorrento
This small town in Campania has lovely architecture as well as a large number of cafés and shops, and it is well-known for its limoncello. Before enjoying sundowners on board with the other superyachts anchored in the lazy port, take in the Roman ruins, the charming little port of Marina Piccola, and the lemon terraces.
