Speed demons, take note. Fast & Furious has just dropped anchor in Salerno for the 2026 season, and frankly, we can't think of a more thrilling way to explore Italy's legendary coastlines. This AB Yachts masterpiece isn't just another pretty face — she's a 42-knot thoroughbred that makes quick work of the distance between Italy's most coveted destinations.
Italy Yacht Charter with Serious Speed
We've sailed aboard plenty of yachts, but Fast & Furious occupies her own category. At 44.6 meters, she's one of the fastest superyachts you'll find in Mediterranean waters. Her triple MTU engines deliver an exhilarating 42 knots maximum speed — perfect for those who want to maximize their time exploring rather than simply getting there.
From her Salerno base on the Amalfi Coast, the possibilities unfold like a Mediterranean treasure map. The Aeolian Islands lie just four hours away. Sardinia's pristine waters? Seven hours. Taormina's dramatic coastline can be reached in five hours, while the romantic Cinque Terre awaits eight hours north.
Limited-Time June Charter Savings
Here's where it gets interesting — and urgent. Fast & Furious is offering a substantial 30% discount on all June 2026 weekly charters, bringing rates down from €160,000 to €112,000 per week. Daily charter guests receive a 5% discount, reducing rates to €21,715 per day.
This isn't just a numbers game — it's rare to find such significant savings on a yacht of this caliber during peak Mediterranean season. June offers ideal weather conditions with fewer crowds than the height of summer.
Beyond Speed: Luxury Charter Holiday Amenities
Don't mistake Fast & Furious for a mere speed machine. Her 2024 refit elevated both main and upper decks, creating sophisticated living spaces that accommodate up to ten guests across five staterooms. We particularly appreciate her contemporary design approach — bright, airy interiors that complement rather than compete with the stunning coastal vistas outside.
Her shallow 1.3-meter draft opens doors to secluded anchorages that deeper yachts simply cannot access. Combine this with dual Seakeepers for stability and shore power converter for silent nights at anchor, and you have a private yacht charter experience that prioritizes both adventure and comfort.
The Italian Advantage
Basing Fast & Furious in Salerno was a masterstroke. The Amalfi Coast serves as your dramatic backdrop — those impossibly vertical cliffs, pastel-colored villages, and crystalline waters that have inspired countless films and novels. From here, you can explore Capri's legendary grottos, Positano's romantic terraces, or venture further afield to Sicily's volcanic islands.
The yacht's exceptional speed means you're not limited to a single region. Start your morning diving in Sardinian waters, lunch along Corsica's rugged coast, and arrive in time for sunset aperitivos on the Amalfi Coast. It's the kind of ambitious itinerary that would exhaust a conventional yacht but merely energizes Fast & Furious.
Charter Details That Matter
Fast & Furious carries a professional crew of eight, ensuring service standards match her impressive specifications. Her charter history speaks volumes — twice nominated at the World Superyacht Awards and ShowBoat Design Awards in 2016, she's proven herself in the luxury charter market.
The June discount window won't remain open indefinitely. With her 2026 calendar now accepting bookings from May onwards, discerning charter guests are already securing their preferred weeks. This represents both an exceptional value opportunity and a chance to experience one of the Mediterranean's most thrilling luxury yacht charters before word spreads further.
