Classic yacht charter in Sorrento places a beautifully restored vessel in one of the most photographed anchorages in the Mediterranean. The combination of a teak-decked ketch or a varnished motor launch with the backdrop of Vesuvius, Capri and the Amalfi cliffs is one that photographers and sailors seek out deliberately.
The Italy fleet includes three classic yachts suitable for a Sorrento charter. These are carefully maintained sailing vessels and vintage motor yachts whose character comes from the period of their construction rather than from specification sheets. Crew on classic yachts tend to be experienced sailors who understand the vessel well, and service is typically more formal and unhurried than on modern charter yachts.
Weekly rates for classic yachts in the Sorrento area start at around 20,000 euros and reach 60,000 euros for the most celebrated restorations. The provisioning allowance of roughly 30 percent covers all running costs. These yachts are rare and book out well ahead; contacting us before the end of winter for a summer charter is advisable.
The Bay of Naples is well suited to a classic yacht itinerary because the distances are short and the ports are historic. Capri was a popular anchorage among the grand yachts of the early twentieth century and retains the same appeal today. The inner harbour at Procida, Ischia Porto and the small quay at Amalfi all welcome classic vessels with the hospitality that the tradition deserves.
