01

Motor yacht

The most versatile option: fast between islands, comfortable at anchor, with a flybridge for the sun and a saloon for the evening. Perfect for seeing many bays in just a few days.

  • Quick passages: more stops, fewer hours at sea
  • Cabins with private bathrooms and generous outdoor spaces
  • Tender and water toys for excursions
  • Ideal for couples, families and small groups

02

Superyacht

Beyond thirty metres, a boat becomes a villa on the sea: a large crew, beach club, pool, cinema and five-star hotel service. For those who want the very best in space and privacy.

  • Full crew, chef and dedicated service
  • Beach club, pool and wellness areas, depending on the yacht
  • Water toys and tenders for every excursion
  • Ideal for extended families, events and special occasions

03

Catamaran

Two hulls, plenty of space and a stability you really notice at anchor. Separate cabins, a large cockpit and a bow sunbed: a home on the sea for families and groups.

  • Stable at anchor: less motion, more relaxation
  • Separate cabins in the two hulls, great for groups
  • Shallow draught: it can get close to the coves
  • Sail or power, depending on the model

04

Sailing yacht

The most authentic way to go to sea: the engine goes quiet and the boat talks to the wind. With a skipper on board no experience is needed, and anyone who wishes can learn to helm.

  • Quiet, sustainable sailing whenever there is wind
  • Professional skipper, even for first-timers
  • An intimate atmosphere, ideal for couples and small groups
  • Monohulls selected from our network of owners

On request: we choose the right monohull for your dates, area and number of guests. See also catamaran, sail or motor: which to choose.

05

  • Full-day or half-day trips
  • Perfect if you are staying in a villa or hotel
  • Up to 12 guests, depending on the boat
  • Pair it with transfers, a chef or a photographer

Frequently asked questions

Before you enquire

How much does a luxury yacht charter cost?

It depends on four factors: the type and size of the boat, the period (high, mid or low season), the length of the charter and the services on board. Every charter is tailor-made, which is why we do not publish price lists but send a proposal with the price and what is included. The first conversation is always free of obligation.

Do I need a boating licence?

No. All our charters come with a professional crew: a captain or skipper and, on larger boats, deckhands, stewardesses and a chef. You come aboard as guests, with no technical skills required.

What is the difference between a motor yacht and a superyacht?

Generally, “superyacht” refers to boats over about thirty metres. Compared with a motor yacht they have more decks and more space, a larger crew and hotel-style amenities such as a beach club, pool or wellness area, depending on the yacht.

Catamaran or sailing yacht?

A catamaran offers more space, separate cabins and great stability at anchor: it is the favourite choice of families with children and groups. A sailing monohull gives a more authentic, sporty experience, ideal for couples and enthusiasts. We cover this in our guide catamaran, sailing yacht or motor yacht.

Which are the best destinations?

In Italy the most requested routes are the Emerald Coast and the La Maddalena Archipelago, the Aeolian Islands, the Amalfi Coast with Capri, Liguria and the Tuscan Archipelago. You will find all 37 routes, with the map, on the Destinations page.

Can I organise an event on board?

Yes: private dinners, aperitifs at anchor, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events. We coordinate set-up, music, photographer, flowers and menus, with extra stewardesses and waiters if needed.

Can I charter a boat for just one day?

Yes, with day boats, for a full or half day. For cruises with overnight stays, the most popular options range from a few days to one or more weeks.

How does booking work?

Once you accept the proposal, the charter is confirmed with a deposit, usually 50%, and the signing of a MYBA contract or equivalent. The balance is normally paid 30 days before embarkation. The main clauses are explained in the MYBA charter contract.
