We're particularly excited about M/S Mar & Mar's return to our Italian charter fleet this season. This elegant 24-metre motor sailer underwent an extensive refit in 2021, and frankly, she's never looked better. With her classic lines and thoughtful accommodation for six guests across three cabins, she represents everything we love about intimate luxury yacht charter experiences along Italy's spectacular coastlines.
An Italy Yacht Charter Like No Other
What sets Mar & Mar apart is her versatility. She's equally at home threading between the volcanic Aeolian Islands as she is anchored off the glamorous Amalfi Coast. We've watched her gracefully navigate everything from the rugged beauty of the Egadi Islands to the sophisticated charm of the Pontine archipelago — and she handles each destination with the same effortless elegance.
The yacht's professional crew of three to four ensures every detail is perfectly managed, while her compact size allows access to secluded coves and harbours that larger vessels simply cannot reach. This is private yacht charter at its most intimate and authentic.
Italy's Hidden Coastal Gems
Mar & Mar's 2026 itineraries showcase the very best of Italy yacht charter destinations. The Aeolian Islands remain our personal favourite — there's something magical about watching Stromboli's evening fireworks from your private deck. The Egadi Islands offer a more rugged, less-discovered beauty, while the Phlegrean Islands provide fascinating glimpses into Italy's volcanic past.
Then there's the Amalfi Coast — honestly, is there a more photographed stretch of Mediterranean coastline? Yet experiencing it from the water aboard Mar & Mar transforms even the most familiar views into something extraordinary. The dramatic cliffs, terraced vineyards, and impossibly picturesque villages take on an entirely different character when approached from the sea.
Planning Your Italian Charter Holiday
With several prime weeks still available, including options in shoulder seasons when the weather remains glorious but the crowds thin out, now is the perfect time to secure your luxury charter holiday. Mar & Mar's updated Malta Commercial flag ensures smooth sailing throughout Italian waters, while her recent updates guarantee comfort without compromising her classic character.
We think she represents exceptional value in the luxury charter market — particularly for groups seeking an authentic Mediterranean experience without the formality of larger yachts. Her three-cabin layout is ideal for couples or small families who want to explore Italy's islands in genuine style and comfort.
