Naples is the gateway to the most celebrated stretch of Italian coastline: the Bay of Naples opening west, the Amalfi Coast curling south, and the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida set in waters that shift from green to deep blue depending on the hour. Chartering a motor yacht here puts that entire geography within reach on a single week, with no need to choose between destinations best seen from the water. Ten motor yachts in the collection cruise regularly from Naples, ranging in length from 30 to over 60 metres and carrying between six and twelve guests. Larger vessels offer spa facilities, pools, and beach clubs; smaller motor yachts in the 30 to 40 metre range manoeuvre well in the tight Amalfi Coast coves. Weekly rates run from approximately 79,000 to 400,000 euros, with a median near 180,000 euros, reflecting the range from compact cruisers to large displacement vessels. The advance provisioning allowance of roughly 30 percent covers fuel, food, berthing, and drinks. Fuel costs are significant in the Bay of Naples in season given the distances between Capri, Positano, and the port of Naples, and guests should allow for an allowance above 30 percent if the itinerary is ambitious. July and August see the highest berthing fees in Capri and Positano. Early June and September offer comparable sea conditions with fewer vessels competing for the same anchorages and lower marina charges throughout the circuit. The bay delivers something new at every point of the compass and rewards a full week of exploration.
