The Amalfi Coast stretches for 50 kilometres between Sorrento and Salerno, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of sheer limestone cliffs, terraced lemon groves and pastel-coloured villages that appear most dramatic from the water. A charter yacht transforms the coast from a gridlocked road into a private itinerary, with every cove, sea cave and beach club accessible directly from the sea.
Positano anchors the northern section with its cascading coloured houses and pebble beach front. Amalfi town provides the central deep-water anchorage and the best provisioning on the coast. Ravello, 350 metres above sea level, rewards the steep climb with Villa Rufolo and panoramic views that stretch to Capri. The island of Capri lies 22 nautical miles northwest and forms the natural bookend to most Amalfi circuits.
At 175,000 euros per week Amalfi Coast charter yachts reach the 55-metre superyacht category with crew of eight to ten and full spa, beach club and watertoy facilities. The advance provisioning allowance of around 52,500 euros covers fuel, gourmet provisions and private berthing, with unspent funds returned at the voyage end.
The season runs from May through October. July and August are peak months, when the coast receives maximum visitor numbers and the corniche road becomes impassable. A charter yacht sidesteps land traffic entirely, delivering guests directly to coves and beach clubs that are simply inaccessible any other way.
