Nerano sits at the tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula, a small village known in Italy for the seafood pasta that carries its name, and internationally for the clarity of the water in the coves immediately below it. For charter guests, it serves as one of the finest natural anchorages in the Bay of Naples: surrounded by low cliffs with a seafloor of white sand visible from the deck, and protected from the prevailing northwest wind by the headland behind. Ten motor yachts in the collection operate in these waters, using Nerano and the nearby bay of Marina del Cantone as a base or a regular stop on itineraries that also cover Capri, Positano, and the Amalfi Coast. Vessels range from 30 to over 60 metres, with weekly rates running from approximately 79,000 to 400,000 euros before the advance provisioning allowance. The allowance, typically around 30 percent of the base rate, covers fuel, food, marina fees, and drinks. Fuel costs are moderate for itineraries centred on Nerano, as the village lies at the centre of the main Bay of Naples sailing ground, within one hour by motor of Capri and two hours of Amalfi. Nerano itself has no marina; yachts anchor in the bay and use the tender to access the restaurants along the shoreline. The village of Massa Lubrense above provides supply access for the crew. Departures are typically from Sorrento or Naples, both within easy reach by road or by sea from the anchorage at Marina del Cantone.
