Seeing Italy from the deck of a yacht does have romance to it.
From art to food, from stunning countryside and fortified medieval towns to flamboyant fashion, Italy has it all. This is the country that is devoted to the promotion of fresh cuisine and fine traditional-modern lifestyle.
Next to Italy’s art treasures, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy along its coast: a dive off Sardinia’s Emerald Coast or a place to idle over a coffee at a small port’s cafe. But as much as all of this, cruising on a yacht in Italy is much about breathtaking views and quite simply magical in the hot Mediterranean summer.
The best places with yachts are found near Portofino, Elba, Rome, the little known isle of Ponza with excellent fish restaurants. Ischia, Capri, Amalfi reminiscent of the Dolcevita days and the Eolian and Lipari isles off the coast of Sicily for exotic and exciting nightlife.
Sardinia with its immaculate beaches and cristalline water is also home to the finest yachts cruising the Med, and it lays just next to the enchanted isle of Corsica.
The best season to cruise along Italy’s beautiful west coast is from May to September.
