Some yachts simply get it right from the first glance. XO of the Seas, the Ed Dubois-designed 107-footer that's been turning heads since her 2012 launch, happens to be one of them. And right now, she's offering something increasingly rare — prime summer availability on Italy's storied Amalfi Coast.
We've watched this yacht work her magic across the Mediterranean, and frankly, her combination of Dubois pedigree and Turkish craftsmanship from Ustaoglu Yachts creates something special. The 225 gross tons translate to genuinely spacious living — something you feel the moment you step aboard her full-beam main deck.
Why XO of the Seas Stands Apart for Italy Yacht Charter
Dubois didn't just design another pretty yacht here. His naval architecture expertise shows in her seakeeping abilities — crucial when you're navigating the sometimes temperamental waters off Positano or Capri. The yacht handles like a dream, whether you're threading through the busy harbor at Porto Cervo or finding that perfect anchorage off Cinque Terre.
Her top deck arrangement is where she truly shines. The dining table sits perfectly positioned for those long Italian lunches, while the welcoming seating area flows naturally into a sun-surrounded jacuzzi. It's the kind of setup that makes you want to linger over that third espresso, watching the dramatic coastline drift by.
Accommodating Your Luxury Charter Holiday
The five-cabin layout works brilliantly for extended families or friend groups. Three queen-bedded doubles anchor the accommodation, supplemented by two twin cabins and a Pullman berth — sleeping up to eleven guests total. Each cabin features its own entertainment system and en-suite facilities, because privacy matters on a week-long charter vacation.
We particularly appreciate her water toy selection. The floating island has become a guest favorite — there's something wonderfully indulgent about lounging on your own private platform while anchored off some impossibly picturesque Italian village. Add in the paddle boards and other toys, and you've got everything needed for those perfect Mediterranean moments.
Amalfi Coast Availability This Summer
Here's what makes this opportunity special: XO of the Seas has a coveted July 10 to August 6 window available directly on the Amalfi Coast. Peak season availability here doesn't come along often, and her calendar is filling rapidly.
The timing couldn't be better. July and August represent the Amalfi Coast at its most vibrant — when the Mediterranean hits that perfect azure shade and every terrace restaurant seems to shimmer in the afternoon heat. You'll have front-row seats to one of Europe's most celebrated coastlines, with complete flexibility to explore from Positano to Ravello at your own pace.
Additional windows include late August availability in Sicily, Corsica, or Sardinia (August 22-31), plus September 24 onwards back on the Amalfi Coast — perfect if you prefer slightly calmer seas and fewer crowds.
The yacht operates with a captain plus five crew members — sized perfectly for attentive service without feeling crowded. Her 2019 refit keeps everything feeling fresh and contemporary, while maintaining that timeless elegance Dubois is known for.
Sometimes the stars align: the right yacht, the right destination, the right timing. XO of the Seas on the Amalfi Coast this summer represents exactly that kind of alignment. We suggest moving quickly — opportunities like this tend to disappear faster than a perfect Mediterranean sunset.
