Tucked into a steep ravine along the Gulf of Salerno, Amalfi is one of the most captivating yacht charter destinations in Italy. Once a mighty maritime republic, it now offers a blend of cliffside charm, Mediterranean flair, and cultural richness. Chartering a yacht in Amalfi unlocks access to one of Italy’s most iconic coastlines, known for pastel villages, secret coves, and terraced lemon groves.

The town’s history is woven into every alley and staircase. The Cathedral of St. Andrew dominates the main square with its Moorish-Romanesque design and grand staircase, while the nearby Museo della Carta (Paper Museum) preserves one of Europe’s oldest papermaking traditions. Wander uphill for lemon orchards or down to find beach clubs tucked between sea-slicked cliffs. The old port still welcomes vessels today, now modernized but with a centuries-old soul.

For yacht travelers, Amalfi is a strategic starting point for cruising the coastline. The harbor offers straightforward access to nearby Positano, Ravello, and Capri. Anchoring just outside the port, tenders can zip guests ashore for cappuccinos in sunlit piazzas or dinners on candlelit terraces. Aboard the yacht, days are spent exploring coastal grottoes, swimming off the stern, or enjoying panoramic sunsets along the Sorrentine Peninsula.

Nature and flavor collide here. The region’s famous lemons grow in hillside groves, handpicked for the limoncello you’ll sip at aperitivo hour. Beaches like Marina Grande invite you to lounge with locals, while more secluded shores like Santa Croce and Atrani offer quiet escapes. Food in Amalfi reflects its seafaring roots, think scialatielli ai frutti di mare, fried anchovies, and sweet sfogliatella. Wine lovers can try Falanghina and Fiano from nearby vineyards.

Chartering a yacht in Amalfi is all about the rhythm of coastal life, seen from the deck of a luxury superyacht. With ancient beauty, gourmet appeal, and unforgettable anchorages, Amalfi makes for an unforgettable stop on any Italy itinerary. View all Amalfi Coast yacht charters available to rent.
