Gulet Charter
Gulet Charter in Italy
La Dolce Vita, On Water
From the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the volcanic grandeur of Sicily and the crystalline waters of Sardinia, Italy offers a charter experience steeped in culture, cuisine, and coastal beauty beyond compare.
A gulet charter through Italy is more than a holiday — it is an immersion into a coastline that has shaped civilisations, inspired artists, and drawn travellers for millennia. From the deck of your vessel, history and nature unfold together in a way no land-based journey can replicate.
Whether you seek the solitude of a hidden cove, the energy of a harbour town at sunset, or the simple pleasure of diving from your stern into water so clear it seems to not exist — Italy delivers, generously and without reservation.

Amalfi Coast: Where do gulet charters on the Amalfi Coast start and finish?
Most charters embark and disembark at Marina d'Arechi in Salerno, a modern marina with deep-water berths at the eastern end of the coast. Some itineraries instead begin from Naples or Sorrento; we confirm the embarkation point with you when we propose a specific gulet and route.
Amalfi Coast: Which airport should I fly into, and how long is the transfer?
Naples International (Capodichino) is the main gateway, around an hour to ninety minutes by road from Salerno depending on traffic, and is served by most major European carriers. Salerno's own Costa d'Amalfi airport sits much closer to Marina d'Arechi. Whichever you choose, a private car meets your flight and brings you to the marina in time for boarding.
Amalfi Coast: How many days do I need to see the Amalfi Coast properly?
This is a short, linear coast — Cetara to Positano is a single afternoon's run — so a week is less about covering ground than about lingering: a slow morning below Ravello, a long lunch at anchor off the Furore fjord, an evening swim under Positano. Seven nights takes in the cliff villages and Capri without rushing; it is the crossing to Ischia and Procida in the wider Bay of Naples that justifies ten nights or more.
Amalfi Coast: Where would we actually sail and anchor?
A typical week takes in Cetara, Amalfi with Ravello above, the Emerald Grotto at Conca dei Marini, the Furore fjord and the Li Galli islets, before crossing to Capri for the Faraglioni and Marina Piccola. The week's high point is usually the last leg into Positano, dropping anchor below the tiered houses as the cliffs turn gold in the late afternoon.
Amalfi Coast: How many guests can a gulet take, and is it private?
Charters are fully private to your party. On this coast the draw is the shoreline itself and the crossing to Capri rather than a large group's deck space, so most gulets here are chartered by couples and smaller parties of six to ten across four to six en-suite cabins. We match the boat to your group size and cabin requirements.
Amalfi Coast: What is included in a crewed gulet charter here?
The biggest variable cost on this coast is berthing: the marinas and mooring fields at Positano, Amalfi and Capri are among the most expensive in the Mediterranean, and those harbour and mooring fees, along with shore excursions, are billed separately from the charter. The charter itself covers the gulet with its full crew — captain, chef and deckhands — fuel for a normal cruising itinerary, and the use of the tender and water toys aboard. Provisioning, including regional Campanian cooking, is usually arranged as a transparent food-and-beverage allowance. We set out exactly what is covered before you book.
