Classic yachts and the anchorage at Nerano share an aesthetic: both are things that have been refined over a long period and reached a form that needs no improvement. The bay at Marina del Cantone, with its pale cliffs and clear water, suits a varnished hull as naturally as it suits the local gozzetto fishing boats that have worked this coast for generations. Four classic yachts in the collection operate in Italian waters and use Nerano as a regular stop on itineraries that connect the Bay of Naples with the Amalfi Coast. These vessels carry four to ten guests, typically in three to five cabins, with deck space and saloon character that reflect the priorities of earlier yacht design: room to sit comfortably above decks in the evening, a cockpit large enough for dinner, and storage for the equipment needed for a week at sea. Weekly rates run from approximately 67,500 to 224,000 euros before the advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent. Classic yacht itineraries in this area are planned for settled weather, and most classic yacht guests find that a full day at anchor here, with a long lunch ashore and an afternoon swim, fits the pace of this type of charter perfectly. Autumn weeks in October, when the last summer warmth persists and the anchorages are quiet, are particularly well suited to classic yacht charters in this part of the Italian coast. The seafood restaurants along the Marina del Cantone shoreline are among the best in the region and are most easily reserved by the yacht crew on the guest behalf.
