Italy luxury yacht charter

Awash with elegant cliff-top villages and tempting cruising grounds around every corner, a luxury yacht charter is one of the best ways to discover all that Italy has to offer. Whether cruising around the unspoilt Aeolian islands, touring the impossibly pretty towns of the Amalfi coast and picture-perfect Capri , hitting the hotspots of Sardinia or revelling in the world-famous cuisine, culture and heritage of Tuscany and its islands, the  Italian Riviera is always a good idea for a summer yacht charter.

Italy yacht season and weather

The peak summer months of July and August provide warm, sunny days with highs of 30°C. During August, many Italians take the entire month off work, meaning resorts and coastal areas are very busy. June and September offer quieter cruising grounds and very pleasant temperatures.

Climates do vary from north to south, with the south generally experiencing milder winters. In October, Sicily often has long, warm sunny days with temperatures still in the mid-20s.

Italy yacht charter itineraries

La Spezia’s Porto Lotti can accommodate yachts up to 180 metres and Porto Mirabello has capacity for yachts up to 140 metres – both good jumping-off points for Portovenere and the Cinque Terre. Rome Marina Yachting is in the port of Civitavecchia and has berths up to 100 metres. The marina is an hour and 15 minutes from Rome by car. On Sicily , Marina di Riposto is an ideal base for visiting Mount Etna and Catania, is six nautical miles from Taormina and has moorings for yachts up to 80 metres. Porto Cervo marina on Sardinia has moorings for yachts up to 120 metres. Porto di Mergellina in Naples has moorings for up to 75 metres.

Awash with old Hollywood glamour and synonymous with Italian aristocracy, the Amalfi coast is one of Italy’s most famous and coveted cruising grounds. Departing from Naples and the shadow of the volcanic peak of Vesuvius, charterers can venture 20 nautical miles to the low key isle of Procida, then take a 10 nautical-mile passage to the volcanic wonders of Ischia, hop south to the famed isle of Capri before cruising 20 nautical miles to Amalfi and the neighbouring gems of Ravello and Positano. For those wanting a mix of city and sea, charters can also make an overnight passage and arrive for sightseeing in Rome.

The island of Sardinia is a superyacht magnet and its famous Costa Smeralda attracts the yachting elite every summer. Mixing Michelin restaurants and five-star hotels with kaleidoscopic bays, sublime beaches and celebrity haunts such as Porto Cervo, Sardinia is one of the hottest charter destinations in Europe.

Charters in the Tuscan archipelago are equally bewitching, with the islands of Elba, Gorgona, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio and Giannutri home to pristine shores, stunning coves and charming villages steeped in history. The islands form a convenient stepping stone between the coastline of Tuscany and Corsica, allowing charterers to combine the delights of Italy and the French island in on trip.

Further north the pearls of the Ligurian coastline, the UNESCO protected Cinque Terre, comprise the picture-perfect towns of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore cling to the cliffs, while romantic Portofino is a must-visit.

For natural wonders and more off-the-beaten-track adventures, the volcanic Aeolian Islands lie 25 miles off the north-east coast of Sicily and provide a varied and stunning itinerary. Sicily itself has also catapulted onto the charter scene, with an enticing mix of secret grottos, secluded coves and glittering beaches.

Italy by superyacht

Getting to italy.

The mainland has a host of international airports that handle commercial and private aircraft including those in Naples, Rome and Pisa.

Sardinia’s three airports of Olbia, Alghero and Cagliari all handle commercial and private jets.

Catania and Palermo airports in Sicily handle private and commercial aircraft.

Common charter routes in and out of Italy include crossings from the Adriatic and Croatia, and crossings from the French Riviera and western Mediterranean.

Legal requirements

Official documentation required from the crew for charters must be sent to the Italian authorities at least two weeks prior to arrival.

Yachts based in the European Union, on which VAT has already been paid or is not applicable, are welcome to enter Italy from any other EU country without having to undergo customs formalities. Vessels arriving from outside the EU must report to customs on arrival, however. The current VAT rate of 22% is reduced for yachts depending on how much time they have spent cruising in waters outside of the EU. 

There are some local laws concerning where to anchor and swim, which can be punishable by fines. It is illegal to swim in an Italian harbour, so swimmers must dive in further out from shore. 

Except when entering or leaving, motoring within 300 metres of the shoreline is forbidden. It is also prohibited to anchor within 200 metres of a beach in Italy.

What types of motor yachts can I charter in Italy?

Superyachts.

Nothing can match the prestige of cruising Italy’s most exclusive destination aboard one of the world’s finest superyachts. A luxury superyacht offers limitless levels of luxury with outstanding onboard amenities and a larger crew ready to cater to your every need.

Multi-hull vessels

Catamarans are the most popular form of multi-hull vessel, offering superb volume courtesy of their wide beam. They also typically boast a shallower draft compared to similar classed vessels, meaning they can easily access smaller marinas. Catamarans also offer superb stability, making them great for those who want maximum comfort. Multi-hull vessels are a great choice for those seeking plenty of space, including large groups of friends and families.

Expedition yachts

Expedition yachts are built to cruise the world’s most remote regions; however, they have appeal in the Mediterranean as these world-class vessels boast an enhanced number of tenders and water toys. If you want maximum adventure in Italy, charter a luxury crewed expedition vessel.

Sports yachts

Sports yachts are built for speed and are great for zipping along the Italian coastline. These charter vessels typically boast a planing hull, enabling them to reach high speeds, and are a superb option for those who want to maximize the number of ports of call in one itinerary.

Flybridge yachts

Flybridge yachts boast an elegant, large, open-air area at the top of the vessel. This voluminous space is ideal for large group gatherings and this flexible spot typically includes zoned areas for dining, sunbathing, and relaxing. Some flybridge yachts will also feature a bar and hot tub on the flybridge. The flybridge area is also a great spot for soaking up panoramic views of the Italian coastline.

Full displacement yachts

Full displacement yachts offer a smooth, quiet ride due to the hull shape that is designed to minimize the impact of the waves, especially in open seas. Due to their design, displacement motor yachts often boast spacious interiors when compared with planing yachts or sports yachts and are the perfect way to enjoy a truly relaxing Mediterranean vacation in Italy.

No matter what type of motor yacht you want to charter in Italy, Moran Yacht & Ship can connect you with your ideal vessel. Our team has access to the finest Italy yachts for charter and will craft a bespoke itinerary that perfectly matches your desired vacation experience. Contact our luxury yacht brokers today.

What is the Advanced Provisioning Allowance?

The Advanced Provisioning Allowance – or APA – is an additional fee that is paid on top of the base charter rate. This fee covers non-fixed costs, such as food and beverage, fuel, berthing fees, and on-land excursions. Your luxury yacht broker will estimate the APA based on your itinerary and vacation experience. At the end of your charter, the captain will provide a detailed breakdown of all costs incurred during your Italy yacht charter, and any funds left in the APA will be immediately returned to you.

Sailing Italy

With extensive coastline, Italy bareboat charters have  something to offer even the most experienced sailors. From chic resorts  in Capri to gorgeous views of Sardinia, erupting volcanoes in the  Aeolian Islands, the rich history of Rome, sandy beaches of Sicily and  the charming slow-paced life on the Amalfi Coast, whichever region you  choose for your sailing vacation each will be a unique adventure.

Being a center of international tourism, Italy is visited by over 50  million people each year. Experiencing Italy on a sailing vacation is a  great way to enjoy this wonderful, sunny country and make lasting  memories. Many find that one trip isn't enough, and will return again  and again to relax and soak up all that Italy has to offer.

Italian Cuisine

Apart from the exciting history, fashion and friendly people,  Italy is a country that is world famous for its delicious cuisine. Once  you charter a boat in Italy, make this trip an unforgettable experience  by exploring culture and traditional lifestyle through local foods. You  may dine in small marinas, stock up with seafood, try fantastic fruits  and vegetables in local markets, or lunch in casual waterside pizzerias  while sailing in Salerno or Naples. Discover Italy's famous gelato  ice-cream in Rome, or sample world renowned Tuscan wines while sailing  in Follonica, Piombino or Livorno.

Sailing in Italy is the best possible way to explore this gorgeous  country, as you can reach the most beautiful spots while avoiding  crowded tourist destinations. As is typical for much of the  Mediterranean, Italy's climate is mostly subtropical, with warm dry  summers and wet winters. The months of May through October are optimal  for a bareboat charter in Italy. During these months you can expect  moderate winds from 10 to 20 knots while average temperatures will range  from 70 to 90 F (20 to 30 C). July and August are the peak of the  summer season, with temperatures reaching up to 90 F (30 C) and warm  seas that can rise to a comfortable 75 F (24 C). This is a great time  for sailors with moderate skills to experience and explore the region.  The winter months can also be a wonderful time for a sailing trip in  Italy, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds.

Sailing Areas

There are 5 major areas in Italy with the highest concentration of  sailing yachts and catamarans for charter. 12 knots offers yacht  rentals in Salerno, as well as a large fleet of charter yachts in  Tropea, Follonica, Skarlino and Naples.

Naples bareboat charter, Amalfi Coast

Sheltered short passages and light breezes make this area ideal  for a relaxed sailing vacation. When taking a yacht charter in Italy  you must consider sailing along the beautiful Amalfi Coast. Most Italy  and Amalfi yacht charters begin in Naples. This city has distinct energy  - chaotic but beautiful. While it may feel daunting at first sight,  Naples will soon charm you with its hospitality and colorful culture.  From the Naples yacht charter base in southern Italy, you have an easy  gateway to Capri and the Amalfi coast.

In less than a day's passage from Naples you may reach the Amalfi  coastline that stretches from Sorrento to Salerno, the most stunning and  incomparable coastline of the Mediterranean. Beautiful hillside towns  with colorful terrace houses clinging to steep cliffs represent  authentic Italian architecture.

Salerno is the biggest yacht charter base in Italy that can boast a  long history dating back to the 4th century. One of the most popular  historical sites of this sailing destination is the Arechi Castle. Built  in the 6th century, this castle offers the best views of the entire  town of Salerno.

From there you may head to Capri, one of the most prestigious sailing  destinations. A reservation is necessary for a berth in the marina  beforehand, as this is a popular and busy place during the summer  season.

Yacht charters in Procida can be an alternative to Naples. Located in  the Bay of Naples, this relatively undiscovered and untouched island  can be easily reached by ferry. Procida has open access to the Amalfi  Coast and Pontine Islands.

Sailing Scarlino

This is another must visit destination for an Italian yacht  charter. This tiny town has cobblestone streets and is framed by hills  of ancient, silvery olive groves. From the top of the hill, opens a  breathtaking view of the harbor and beautiful coastline. Numerous  waterside cafes offer great places to sit and watch the glamorous  yachting world. Further down the Italian coast, you may sail to Elba,  the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, located only 6 miles from  Piombino. Elba has several coastal villages, all with the same  spectacular views of the seas. You may also like to stop and take a walk  along the streets of the island's  principal town – Portoferraio.

Boat rentals In Italy

A yacht charter in Italy requires a valid skipper's license.  The skipper must be at least 18 years of age (this is also a basic  requirement for obtaining a sailing license) and must carry their  license at all times during the vacation. A valid skipper's license will  allow you to sail along the coastline within 20 miles of the shore.

In order to charter a motor boat you will also need an official  permit allowing you to operate a power vessel with an engine over 40 hp.  Italian authorities recognize most of the International Certificates of  Pleasure Craft Operators.

Italians are very sensitive about the protection of their marine  reserves. You should keep in mind that it is forbidden to bring a yacht  close to the shore in protected areas (usually a minimum distance is 1  to 2 miles). In these areas it is also prohibited to fish, collect  seashells, sea plants, cruise on a boat with a working engine, anchor,  or practice any type of water sport. Italian protected areas are found  in Cinque Terre, the Tuscan Archipelago, Isole Tremiti, Miramar,  Maddalena Archipelago, Egadiysky Archipelago, the island of Ustica,  Porto Cesareo and Ventotene.

Italy is among the countries of the Schengen Agreement, and is a  member of EFTA. For citizens of the countries that are members of these  organizations, as well as for EU citizens, a valid passport is all that  is required to enter Italy. You are allowed to stay in the country for  up to 90 days.

Luxury Italy Yacht Rental

A luxury yacht charter in Italy offers a range of rich cultural and historical adventures, not to mention the old-world glamour and charm that has been attracting international travellers for centuries.

From the quaint fishing villages of the Amalfi Coast to the luxurious billionaire’s playground of Sardinia or the grand canal-side villas of Venice, there is something for every taste on a luxury yacht rental in Italy.

A short cruise from the French Riviera and Monaco, the Italian Riviera in Liguria offers up history and natural beauty in generous quantities. Lying off the western coast of Italy, contrary to geographical proximity, the islands of Sardinia and Elba provide vastly different yacht charter experiences, from fully hedonistic partying to utter tranquillity. The Amalfi Coast conjures images of 1960s glamour and charm, with its cobblestone fishing villages such as Amalfi and Positano, with their historical villas and authentic cuisine, and the ever-popular island retreat of Capri. Venice on the north-east coast of Italy needs little introduction. A trading post and affluent city with a melting pot of cultures attracting artists and nobility alike, this historical hotspot is a fantastic place to start or round-up your luxury yacht charter in Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What to see on your luxury yacht charter in italy.

On the Italian Riviera, take in the colourful buildings and laid-back pace of the Cinque Terre and Portofino, enjoying a walk through one of the region’s charming cliff top villages, then jump in a car or helicopter for a day trip to see the historical cities of Pisa or Florence.

In the summer months, many elect for a crewed yacht charter in Italy. As the perfect addition to any luxury yacht charter in the Mediterranean, Sardinia’s waters are bustling with visiting superyachts at anchor and within the marina of its main town of Porto Cervo, a honeypot for business magnates and global celebrities alike. Relax and be pampered in a world-class spa and then head out to Porto Cervo’s luxury boutiques or try a round of golf. Explore the island’s historical attractions including the town of Alghero, with its maze of alleyways packed with shops selling local produce and an abundance of medieval churches. By night, head to one of Porto Cervo’s stylish restaurants before hitting one of the lavish nightlife spots for which the town is known.

The peaceful and picturesque neighbour of lively Sardinia, Elba offers those on a luxury yacht charter in Italy; with the chance to get away from it all on this quaint island dotted with secluded beaches backing onto mountains and green forests. The island’s largest town is Portoferraio, with its fascinating 16th-century Medici fortress, great for a daytime tour, as well as Villa dei Mulini, Napoleon Bonaparte’s home while in exile in 1814.

A tour of the Amalfi Coast allows you to dial back the pace and relax at anchor while gem-hued waters lap at the vertiginous cliff-faces dotted with ancient towns. The classic Southern Italian charm of seaside towns like Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi have been preserved and are a highlight for many visiting superyachts. Inland excursions to stunning Ravello, perched 365 metres above the sapphire-blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, can include visits to the town’s famous cliffside gardens or an alfresco evening concert at the Moorish-style Villa Rufolo in the summer. And the island of Capri is an essential stop on many an Italian yacht charter itinerary, with its famous Blue Grotto cave, upscale luxury ateliers and boutique shops selling handmade leather goods, homemade limoncello and ceramics.

A short distance across the Tyrrhenian Sea takes you to Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean. Sicily’s capital Palermo brims with busy markets, art galleries and historical architecture that make a great day trip ashore for the family, while the island’s large choice of beautiful beaches along 1,000 kilometres of coastline will have you believing you are in the Caribbean. For more active and adventurous yacht charterers, a hike up the famous active volcano Stromboli will be on the bucket list.

Rent a yacht in Italy to explore Venice. Moor up right next to the famous St Mark’s Square and take in the rich history and architecture of one of Europe’s most enigmatic cities. Take a romantic trip by gondola or private water taxi to grand homes once inhabited by the likes of Byron or dine in authentic, hidden ostiaries. The city is also host to international events such as the Venice Biennial and the Venice Film Festival.

Rent a Yacht in Italy: when is the best time for a luxury yacht rental in Italy?

The main charter season in Italy falls between May and September, although the weather and water can still be warm enough to enjoy in October. Average temperatures in Italy range between highs of approximately 24C (75F) in May to 31C (87F) in August. The sea temperature in June is usually around 24C (74F), peaking at 26C (79F) in August.

Where to anchor on your private yacht charter in Italy?

On the Italian Riviera, Portofino is one of the most popular port towns for a superyacht visit. Moor up directly onto the edge of the town and walk off the lazarette directly into one of the authentic Italian restaurants or luxury boutiques.

The inimitable Porto Cervo is one of Italy’s most famous port towns and home to the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. With luxury facilities onsite and playing host to a range of regattas and sailing events throughout the summer, it is a hive of yachting activity.

Elba is a much quieter island retreat for cruising superyachts and its main port town is Portoferraio, which is able to cater to vessels of up to 65 metres in length. The town’s many historical attractions provide day trips ashore for the whole family.

The Amalfi Coast is mostly a destination for superyachts that stay at anchor with tender trips into the small fishing villages ashore, but the purpose-built Marina di Stabia to the south of Naples offers a good point of embarkation for any luxury superyacht charter in Italy.

Venice is a popular point of embarkation for an Adriatic yacht charter. With great international transport links, it offers a number of marinas for superyachts including Marina Vento di Venezia, Marina Fiorita and the Salute Mooring posts located directly in front of St Mark’s Square at the head of the Giudecca Canal.

In the summer months, Sardinia’s waters are bustling with visiting superyachts at anchor and within the marina of its main town of Porto Cervo, a honeypot for business magnates and global celebrities alike. Relax and be pampered in a world-class spa and then head out to Porto Cervo’s luxury boutiques or try a round of golf. During your private yacht charter in Porto Cervo, explore the island’s historical attractions including the town of Alghero, with its maze of alleyways packed with shops selling local produce and an abundance of medieval churches. By night, head to one of Porto Cervo’s stylish restaurants before hitting one of the lavish nightlife spots for which the town is known.

The peaceful and picturesque neighbour of lively Sardinia, Elba offers those on luxury yacht charters in Italy a chance to get away from it all on this quaint island dotted with secluded beaches backing onto mountains and green forests.

Below we explore the right time to charter and some of the key places to visit. You can also browse the yachts available in Italy this year. An Italy yacht charter vacation brings this central Mediterranean country’s beautiful culture and scenery to life. You can experience many different aspects of Italy, including the restaurants, art, history and colour in the comfort of your favourite luxury charter yacht on the Mediterranean and Adriatic coastlines. The famous Italian places you can explore include Naples , Capri , Amalfi , Portofino , Sardinia , Rome ,  Sicily and Venice , to name a few.

Cost To Charter a Yacht In Italy:

The cost to charter a crewed yacht in Italy begins at a price of around 5,000 Euros per week plus advanced provisioning allowance (APA) expenses, typically around 30%. The most expensive luxury Italy superyacht charter holiday costs over 1 million Euros per week plus APA.

The Italy Charter Season:

Like most of the Mediterranean, the Italy season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season for Italy is in July and August. This is also the high season as far as yacht charter goes. Other good times to rent your yacht are generally on either of the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October), each side of the main summer season, as the temperatures are still comfortable, and the onshore tourists have yet to arrive in their largest numbers. The types of yachts available in Italy include motor yacht, sailing yacht charter, skippered, crewed yachts, catamarans, power boats, sailboat, luxury yachts and the ever increasing mega and superyacht charter.

Expert Charter Broker Quote:

“I think Italy is so special because it truly has something to offer everyone. Whether you are seeking a romantic honeymoon, a family vacation, or a holiday with a few of your closest friends, Italy can provide exactly what you’re looking for.” – Trina Howes Luxury Yacht Charter Broker in her article titled ‘ Italy – Why is this Charter Location so Special? ’

Many Italy and Amalfi private charters begin in Naples. Naples is a city with a distinct energy - chaotic yet charming, cluttered yet beautiful. Rather daunting to the virgin eye,

Naples has a way of shedding your inhibitions, to present a proud and colorful culture, with an alluring hospitality. Naples is the yacht charter hub of southern Italy and the gateway to Capri and the Amalfi Coast. The Isle of Capri and Amalfi present some of the most spectacular coastlines of the whole Mediterranean.

AMALFI COAST - COSTIERA AMALFITANA

A yacht holiday in Italy must incorporate the stunning Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi coast is around a day sail south of Naples. Amalfi and Positano , like Capri, attract visitors and charter yachts of the highest prestige. The 50 km of the Amalfi coastline stretches mainly from Sorrento to Salerno . It remains a place of rare and incredible beauty. The hillside towns are a truly magnificent display of Italian engineering and architecture. Terrace houses and buildings cling to steep cliffs, rising from the coastline.

Portofino is another must see. It is a tiny town of cobble-stone streets, framed by hills of silvery, ancient olive groves. From the top of the hill, the views of the harbor and coastline are breathtaking. Cafes, boutique shops and gelataria’s spill out into the harbor piazza. The portside cafes are a great place to sit and watch the glamorous yachting world go by. Further down the Italian coast, you'll sail upon 'Cinque Terre' - A succession of five coastal villages, all with the same spectacular views of the seas. These villages are less expensive and sophisticated, than their more popular sister, Portofino. There is a stunning and famous walk along this coastal route, linking the five towns romantically called 'Via Dell 'Amore' ( The Way of Love ). 

A charter in Sardinia, Italy is also quite an experience. Sardinia is a universe unto itself. It's an island of Italy, where the local language is incomprehensible to all other Italians.

An island with one of Europe's most stunning coastlines; it's waters teem with fish; it's golden sands disappear into oceans of blue; it's rugged mountains are covered with flocks of sheep producing cheese so pungent, your palate will never forget.

Venice is a city that’s surrounded by so much water, so being afloat on a yacht vacation is a fantastic way to experience this classic Mediterranean city. Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world , with its intricate web of canals, charming gondoliers, glorious renaissance architecture and narrow cobbled streets. Venice is an essential stop on any Adriatic yacht charter holiday. On your charter boat, take a cruise down the Grand Canal. From the deck of your charter boat, you’ll be able to pass by sights such as the Ca'Foscari, Palazzo Grassi, Guggenheim Museum and the Accademia Bridge.

Why CharterWorld? CharterWorld is a specialist charter company with all the crewed yachts in Italy and the Mediterranean at the best price. With the industry’s top professional yacht brokers and every yacht in the Mediterranean available you will be well served.

Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter

An Amalfi Coast yacht charter promises the ultimate Mediterranean vacation and a true taste of life in Italy . Dotted along the coast, the towns of Positano , Sorrento , Ravello and the island of Capri are located in close proximity to one another, making them easy to incorporate into a short-hop charter itinerary. Since the Amalfi Coast has limited on-land routes, a luxury yacht charter is the ultimate way to fall in love with this stunning slice of West Italy in summer 2023.

Known for its dramatic cliffs and picture-perfect towns, the Amalfi Coast sits in the Campania region of Italy bordered by the Tyrrhenian sea. It is shouldered by the Bay of Naples to the north and the Salerno Gulf to the south. Also known as the Sorrentine Peninsula, the region covers around 50 kilometers of coast, and all of it is best explored by boat. The region is perennially one of the most popular cruising regions throughout summer and beyond, with hundreds of people traveling from around the globe to rent a yacht and explore these UNESCO-listed shores and deep blue cruising grounds.

Popular Sub-Regions

Those on a superyacht vacation on the Amalfi Coast can discover plenty of other areas in this pocket of Italy. The region is located in close proximity to Salerno, Naples and the islands of Ischia and Procida, which are hidden gems of this part of West Italy.

The Italian Riviera is not far from the Amalfi Coast, and here the city of Rome, the region of Tuscany and beautiful towns including Portofino and Cinque Terre can be easily accessed. Across the Tyrrhenian sea, meanwhile, Sardinia and Corsica await, offering a wealth of secluded sand-coated beaches and sleepy fishing villages.

Don't Miss:

• Amalfi Coast Drive - Take a drive up the iconic hair-pin twisty road for stunning views over the Sorrentine peninsula where lemon groves and colorful cliff-hewn villages lead your eye down to pine-fringed bays and glass-green seas.
• Ravello sunsets - Explore the charming village of Ravello with its medieval cobbled streets before heading to its famous hilltop Villa Cimbrone, where you can experience the full spectrum of an Amalfi Coast sunset as you sip limoncello in the lush rose-clad gardens.
• Capri’s Blue Grotto - A naturally-occurring phenomenon which has become a must-visit when visiting Capri by yacht. The semi-submerged cave is filled with seawater that refracts light from outside, causing the water to appear bright blue, as if illuminated. 
• An Odyssey adventure - Take a tender over to the hidden caves and rocky islets of Li Galli, home to Homer’s legendary Sirens, the immortalized seductresses who were said to have lured sailors to their deaths.
• Ancient city of Baia - Part of the region’s marine archaeological park, experience this intriguing sunken Roman resort, home to swish villas, a nymphaeum and mosaic floors, purportedly the former playground of legendary Roman leaders Nero and Caesar.
• Pompeii - Situated in the Bay of Naples, this vast archaeological site is not to be missed on your Amalfi Coast yacht charter. Once a thriving Roman city, you’ll explore excavated ruins, streets and houses for a unique snapshot of life in 79 AD.
• Star-studded Capri - Located just a few kilometers adrift from the Amalfi Coast, Capri is a must-visit for anyone with a love of luxury living. Superyachts head to Capri every year to explore the island’s picturesque beaches, impressive fashion houses and incredible cuisine.
• Michelin-star dining - Food-lovers would be remiss not to add Nerano to their itinerary. This tiny commune is a gourmet hotspot, with not one, but two, world-class restaurants on its shores; Lo Scoglio and La Conca del Sogno. It'll be a hard decision choosing between the two, but you can expect incredible flavors and a convivial atmosphere at both. 
• Ferriere Valley waterfalls - Nestled in the Scala mountains between Amalfi and Ravello is the Ferriere Valley Nature Reserve, which offers dramatic waterfalls amid a lush jungle of moss-clad rock walls, rare ferns and welcome cool shade.

The Amalfi Coast is good for all types of yacht charter vacation. The region is great for fun with the family, with lots of culture and history to keep children entertained, as well as a variety of restaurants to suit every palate and occasion.

However, be aware that the waters of the Tyrrhenian sea are deep and the area doesn't have an excess of beaches where little ones can play.

The region is primed for a see-and-be-seen luxury yacht charter. The glitzy restaurants and celebrity-approved beach clubs and bars mean that there is plenty for those to enjoy as part of a yacht charter with friends. 

The Amalfi Coast has become a playground for superyachts and a pilgrimage for the Hollywood elite.

The Amalfi Coast has a long and successful history as a maritime powerhouse and a tourist destination. Between the 10th and 11th century, the region enjoyed privileged trade routes with Sardinia, Turkey and the wider West Mediterranean , and the region began introducing hotels comparatively earlier than the rest of Europe.

The Amalfi Coast has a romantic allure that has draws in plenty of artists, musicians and writers over the years; and this also makes it a prime candidate for a honeymoon yacht charter vacations. 

The Amalfi Coast is a hugely popular yacht charter destination, and there are hundreds of different crewed yachts in the local fleet to choose from. You will be spoilt for choice!

Their job is to find the perfect yacht that suits the needs of you and your charter party. No matter what your criteria, there will be a superyacht that matches it; just be sure to book well in advance, as yachts in the region are always in extremely high demand during the summer season.

Motor Yacht Charters in Amalfi Coast

Motor yacht charter is the most popular for those looking to zip between destinations without having to worry about a dip in the wind. Whether you're looking for a speedy sport yacht for slicing through the seas, or you'd rather have a luxury megayacht with all of the state-of-the-art amenities at your fingertips, your yacht charter broker will be able to find you a motor yacht that ticks all the right boxes.

Be aware that not many marinas along the coast cater to larger yachts, so be sure to factor this in when discussing your options with your broker.

Sailing Yacht Charters in Amalfi Coast

Sailing yacht charter is popular as well, and this type of yachting vacation is perfect for those wanting to feel even closer to the ocean. Sailing conditions on the Amalfi Coast are typically very favorable, with light winds and calm seas. There are plenty of catamarans, monohulls and racer sailers available, so it won't be hard to find a charter sailing yacht to suit your needs.

With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in Amalfi Coast below;

• For motor yacht rentals in Amalfi Coast, prices can range from $31,412 to $1.6m per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Amalfi Coast, prices can go from $27,118 to $530,593 weekly, plus expenses

The best time for a yachting vacation on the Amalfi Coast is between May and August; although warm weather extends into April and September. The seas are generally calm between these months, with lots of sunshine, cloudless skies and temperatures soaring into the nineties. Those looking to escape the heat should avoid visiting in June, July and August, when the mercury is at its peak. 

The Amalfi Coast has a very low average rainfall during the summer months, meaning you don't need to worry about showers spoiling your on-deck fun.  What’s more, the Sorrentine Peninsula enjoys shelter from the winds on both its north and south sides, so you can rest easy knowing your cruising experience will likely be smooth sailing.

Luxury yacht charters on the Amalfi Coast generally begin in Naples, or Napoli in Italian, and approach the Amalfi Coast from the north. However, it is equally possible for you to begin your yachting adventure in Salerno, and cruise along the south-facing side of the peninsula first. 

It's simple and straightforward to fly into Naples International Airport (NAP), which operates non-stop flights from the USA, Europe and the Middle East during the peak season. 

The port of Naples is also a convenient gateway to other parts of Italy and wider Mediterranean region, with charter yachts easily able to find a berth at one of the many marinas here.

Whatever route you choose, you can be sure you won’t miss the highlights; the Amalfi Coast is comparatively smaller than other Mediterranean hotspots, so you incorporate everything you want to see into a shorter itinerary.

Where to End an Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter

If you are spending more time chartering a yacht, you may be tempted to head to Sicily , Sardinia or the Italian Riviera as part of your Amalfi Coast superyacht charter. All of these destinations can be accessed within a night cruise, and visiting them is a great way to explore another side of Italy. 

With so many alluring towns and villages on the Amalfi Coast and the surrounding region, you may wish to finish your crewed yacht charter in a new destination. However, you could also finish your vacation where you started, and there are plenty of itineraries that incorporate a round trip.

Wherever you choose to disembark your yacht, finding an airport to take you back home won't be a problem. The Amalfi Coast and surrounding areas are well-connected by air, and you will enjoy a seamless transfer to an airport of your choice. Helicopter transfers can also be arranged; Sorrento, Capri, Sicily and Sardinia all have private heliports.

There is a limited number of marinas along the Amalfi Coast, and as a result, slip costs in this region are among the highest in the Mediterranean , as many smaller yachts are unable to sit out at anchor as the water is too deep.

If you would like to spend a night in port, then be sure to make this clear to your crew or your charter broker well in advance, so that they can book it. It's advisable to spend a few nights of your charter docked in a marina, as there are plenty of restaurants and bars that are great for evening entertainment on the Amalfi Coast, and being docked in a marina will give you easy access to the town centre.  

The marinas that do exist along the Amalfi Coast typically cater to smaller yachts, so be sure to bear this mind. The following are the best marinas in the region, with a number that cater to larger yachts:

• Marina di Stabia , one of the most popular places to begin a yacht charter on the Amalfi Coast, located midway between Naples and Salerno on the north-western side of the Amalfi Coast, and boasts luxury facilities and the capacity to host yachts measuring up to 100m. It is conveniently situated just thirty minutes' drive from Naples airport.
• Marina Molo Louise is another favorite option for starting a yacht charter in Naples, and caters to yachts measuring up to 110m. It is located just over twenty minutes' away from the airport.
• Coppola Marina , located in the town of Amalfi, this marina has 90 berths with a maximum length of 35m.
• Marina Piccola,  situated in the beautiful port town of Sorrento, it has 280 berths which cater to yachts measuring up to 40m.
• Grassi Junior, offers 30 slips for yachts with a maximum length of 30m, located in the sought-after hotspot of Positano. 
• Capri Marina , another popular addition to an Amalfi Coast superyacht vacation, but the cost of a slip for one night is the highest in the Mediterranean, so be aware of this before you book in. There is a total of 300 berths, with a maximum length of 60m.
• Marina d'Arechi , popular marina in Salerno, which has 1,000 berths with a maximum capacity of 130m.

Slips are something that will add an extra cost to your yacht charter vacation, so it's important to be realistic about your budget and factor these expenses in before you book your charter.

With its A-lister appeal, rich cultural history and bevy of world-class restaurants, the Amalfi Coast is one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean. Therefore, we advise you to book your yacht charter well in advance of your trip to secure your perfect yacht on your preferred dates. If you leave it too late, the selection of yachts at your disposal will be reduced and you may not be able to explore the destinations you have your heart set on.

Plus, finding dates when everyone in your charter party is available can be tricky; the longer you leave it, the more challenging it will be. 

Your  yacht charter broker  will also need plenty of time to tailor an itinerary to suit you, and enough time to book ahead for the nights you wish to spend in marinas. We recommend booking up to 3 months in advance to give your broker the optimum time to organize everything down to the last detail.

The amalfi coast yacht charter itineraries.

To fully experience the charm of the Amalfi Coast on a yacht charter, you will need around seven days- however longer and shorter itineraries can also be arranged.

The region is reasonably small compared to other destinations in the Mediterranean, but a week will give you ample time to step on shore and explore all the beautiful towns and cities of the Amalfi Coast. Expect to encounter the beautiful gardens of Ravello, the lemon groves of Sorrento, the cathedral in Amalfi and the captivating town of Positano.

For longer itineraries along the Amalfi Coast, there are many small islands scattered off the coast that can be explored; from Capri and Ischia in the south to Ponza, Ventotene and Ponza in the north.

Most Amalfi Coast yacht charters begin in Naples, where there is an international airport and large port. However, charter guests can easily begin or end their yachting adventure elsewhere in the Mediterranean, and incorporate the Amalfi Coast into part of their overall yacht charter experience. Guests on a private yacht charter in the Amalfi Coast may want to begin in the Italian Riviera or the South of France, and continue onwards to Sardinia or Sicily.

Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter Q&A

Be aware that marinas in the Amalfi Coast are in high demand, so mooring costs can add up significantly and you will need to ensure you book a berth well in advance. The region can also be congested in peak season, and towns and villages can be touristy.

There is a wide variety of yachts for charter in the Amalfi Coast, so you can be sure to find an option that suits you and your budget.

Before you book, you should factor in additional costs that aren't covered in the base rate, such as berthing, fuel, VAT, food and drink and crew tips. 

Since it can be challenging to find sheltered bays and shallow water to drop anchor in, you will more than likely need to berth in a port for a night. Marinas along the Amalfi Coast are among the most expensive in the Mediterranean, so berthing costs can quickly add up.

Be aware that marinas in the Amalfi Coast are in high demand as well, so you will need to ensure you book a berth well in advance.

To give you an idea of which yachts are available, you can browse the complete fleet of Amalfi Coast charter yachts on our site. If you make an enquiry, a yacht charter broker will be in touch to provide you with a custom charter proposal based on your requirements.

Alternatively, you can reach out to your preferred yacht charter broker , and they will be able to find the ideal yacht for you and your charter party. 

The prime time for an Amalfi Coast yacht charter is between June and September, when the weather is warm, rainfall is low and the wind is minimal.

The weather is pleasantly warm as early as May and later in October too, with the added bonus of fewer crowds.

Between August and September the sea temperature is higher; so later in the season is best to visit if you want to spend a lot of time in the water. 

Amalfi Coast yacht charters typically start in Naples, where there is an international airport. Naples is the best starting point if you'd like to explore all of what the Amalfi Coast has to easy access to Capri and Sorrento on the western side and Positano and Ravello on the eastern side. Naples makes a great starting point if you'd like to explore further afield as well, with the islands of Ischia and Ponza located nearby.

Amalfi Coast yacht charters can also start in Salerno, where there is a domestic airport that operates scheduled and chartered flights. Salerno is the best place to start if you have limited time and would like to see the sights of Amalfi, Ravello, Positano and Nerano, all of which are located on the eastern side of the Amalfi Coast.

Of course, it's also possible to take a car down the Amalfi Coast and board your yacht from anywhere you choose.

About Italy

Why is Italy a good sailing destination?

With a coastline that meanders through the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy stands as a sailor’s dream. Yachting.Rent believes that Italy’s allure isn’t just rooted in its geography but also in its rich tapestry of culture, history, and nature which makes it a prime sailing destination.

From the rugged cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the serene waters surrounding Sardinia, Italy offers a diverse sailing landscape. Each region unfurls its distinct charm, ensuring that every journey feels like a new adventure. The Ligurian Sea enchants with places like Cinque Terre, a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera. Further south, the Tyrrhenian Sea is dotted with islands, such as Elba and Capri, which beckon sailors with their mystique. On the Adriatic side, destinations like Venice offer a unique maritime experience, navigating the city’s famed canals. With such varied coastlines and marine topographies, Italy is an endless playground for both novice and experienced sailors.

However, Italy’s appeal isn’t just its natural beauty. It’s the intertwining of this beauty with the nation’s rich cultural and gastronomical offerings. Anchoring in Sicilian ports can lead to a culinary journey tasting authentic Arancini or Cannoli. In Tuscany, sailors can venture inland to experience some of the world’s most renowned vineyards. Every port, every harbor in Italy tells a story – be it of ancient Roman civilizations, Renaissance art, or modern Italian lifestyle. This blend of sailing with immersive experiences is what Yachting.Rent champions, ensuring that when you set sail in Italy, it’s not just a trip on the water but a journey through the very soul of the Mediterranean.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Italy

The azure waters of Italy beckon, offering an unparalleled maritime journey. But with Yachting.Rent, before setting sail on this Mediterranean masterpiece, comes an enticing choice: a classic sailing boat or a luxurious catamaran? Both vessels promise unique experiences tailored to the Italian seascape.

Sailing Boat: Embracing Italy’s Nautical Heritage Choosing a sailing boat is akin to stepping into Italy’s rich maritime legacy. These vessels, with their slender silhouettes and intimate decks, allow sailors to navigate the waters as the ancient mariners once did. From the tight-knit harbors of the Amalfi Coast to the shallow inlets of Puglia, sailing boats are versatile, making them perfect for close explorations. Feel the rhythmic pulse of the Mediterranean, hear the whisper of the waves, and embrace a deep connection to the sea and the stories it holds.

Catamaran: Sailing in Unparalleled Comfort Opting for a catamaran unveils Italy’s coastlines in lavish style. With their dual hulls, catamarans offer unmatched stability, making them ideal for families and groups or those prioritizing space and comfort. Envision wide decks for sunbathing, spacious cabins, and panoramic views of iconic landscapes like Cinque Terre or the cliffs of Capri. The catamaran’s design also allows for closer anchoring, enabling easy access to secluded beaches and crystal-clear snorkeling spots.

With Yachting.Rent, the choice between a sailing boat or catamaran is more than just a vessel preference; it’s about crafting your personalized Italian adventure. Our seasoned team is on hand to guide you, ensuring that whichever vessel you choose, it aligns seamlessly with your dreams and desires.

Divers are racing to retrieve Mike Lynch’s personal hard drives locked in a safe on the ocean floor, according to reports.

Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported that the tech billionaire, whose clients included MI5, the NSA and the Israeli secret service, didn’t trust confidential documents on the cloud and kept two encrypted hard drives in a safe which now lies 49 metres below sea level.

Investigators from Palermo said that no personal effects of the seven victims and 15 survivors have been recovered so far and that surveillance on the sailing ship continues 24 hours a day. They say the only hard drives brought to the surface are those of the ship.

An investigation into manslaughter is set to continue after specialist divers recovered video equipment that could explain how it sank.

Italian prosecutors will continue their probe after a source told Reuters Navy divers recovered parts of the deck , computer material, video surveillance systems, hard drives and various other equipment.

The electronic devices have been sent to specialised labs outside of Sicily to check their condition and possibly recover data, the source added.

Autopsies reveal cause of death of US lawyer and wife onboard Mike Lynch’s superyacht

Autopsies have been carried out on a couple who drowned on Mike Lynch’s superyacht when it sank off the coast of Sicily last month.

Seven lives were lost when the British-flagged boat, called the Bayesian, went down in a freak storm while anchored near the Sicilian capital of Palermo on 19 August.

Darktrace to be taken over after Mike Lynch’s death

Darktrace shares are set to stop trading publicly at the end of September, after the company set a timetable for its blockbuster private equity takeover to be completed.

The private equity group Thoma Bravo struck an almost 5.31 billion dollar (£4.3 billion) deal to buy Darktrace in April.

Darktrace AI interrupts in-progress cyber-attacks in seconds, including ransomware, email phishing, and threats to cloud environments.

It marks one of the biggest take-private deals for a London-listed company in recent years, and will see Darktrace leave the FTSE 100 on October 1.

Poppy Gustafsson helped to set up the Cambridge-based company in 2013 alongside Autonomy founder Mike Lynch.

Mr Lynch, and his daughter Hannah, were among seven people to die after the Bayesian superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily last month.

Bodies flown back to UK on private planes - report

The bodies of Mike Lynch, his daughter Hannah, 18, and the other victims of the Bayesian disaster have been flown back to their families after their post-mortems, according to reports.

They were repatriated on private planes, with their private funerals expected to be held over the coming days, Italian media reports.

The British tech tycoon ’s boat had been moored near the port of Porticello on 19 August when it sank during the early hours of the morning . It is now lying 50m below the surface.

Among those killed were Mr Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, who had been due to begin studying at Oxford University in September, as well as four other family friends and associates .

Jonathan Bloomer, the international chairman of Morgan Stanley Bank; his wife Judith, a psychotherapist; Christopher Morvillo, a US lawyer; and his wife Neda, a jewellery designer also died in the sinking.

Also killed was the yacht’s chef, Recaldo Thomas, whose body was recovered floating near the wreckage.

Four victims found with carbon dioxide in lungs

Tech billionaire Mike Lynch, his daughter Hannah, 18, and five other people died when the Bayesian went down in a downburst, which is similar to a small tornado.

Chef Recaldo Thomas, Jonathan Bloomer, the Morgan Stanley International bank chairman, his wife Judy, and Chris Morvillo, a Clifford Chance lawyer, and his wife Neda, were the other victims of the August 19 tragedy.

Four of the victims are feared to have suffocated to death in air bubbles that filled with carbon dioxide, according to their autopsies raising the frightening possibility that they may have been conscious after the yacht sank, according to Italian news outlet La Republica.

Fifteen people, including Angela Bacares, Lynch’s wife, survived when they were rescued by a nearby yacht.

Mike Lynch’s yacht was ‘unsinkable’, says boss of company who built boat

Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, said there are no flaws with the design and construction of the Bayesian and it is “one of the safest boats in the world”.

The Bayesian, a 184-ft superyacht carrying 22 passengers and crew, was anchored off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, when it disappeared beneath the waves in a matter of minutes after a freak tornado struck.

“The ship sank because it took on water, from where investigators will have to say,” Mr Costantino told television news programme TG1.

He suggested that the sinking was down to a series of human errors.

The CEO said that had the crew shut all doors and hatches, turned on the engine, lifted the anchor, lowered the keel and turned the yacht to face the wind, they would have suffered “zero damage”.

He added that data showed it took 16 minutes from when the wind began for it to sink.

Cartoisio said the tragedy will be even more painful if the sinking was caused by “behaviours that were not aligned to the responsibilities that everyone needs to take in shipping”.

Bodies of Mike Lynch and daughter Hannah flown back to families after Bayesian superyacht sinking

The bodies of those who died after the billionaire Mike Lynch’s Bayesian superyacht sunk off the coast of Sicily have been flown back to their families by private jet.

Italian publication Giornale di Sicilia reported post-mortem examinations were completed at a Palermo hospital and the bodies have now been returned.

My colleague Tom Watling reports:

Captain gives his account of tragic sinking

Captain James Cutfield previously gave his terrifying account before invoking his right to remain silent.

According to Correire, he told prosecutors: “Seaman Griffiths came to wake me up and told me that there were 20 knots of wind.

“I looked at the instruments and indeed that was the case. I went out immediately and asked them to warn everyone because I didn’t like the situation.”

He said the Bayesian tilted 45 degrees “and remained like that for a bit and then suddenly fell to the right.

“We were catapulted into the sea”.

Seaman Matthew Griffiths, 22, said: “We somehow climbed back up to the bridge and tried to form a human chain to save those who managed to reach that gap from the accommodation deck ... they were struggling on the walls because the boat was lying in the water.

“The first in the chain was the captain who stretched down. He helped everyone, the ladies, the mother with the little girl ... But we were sinking and unfortunately some didn’t make it .”

Mr Griffiths joins fellow Brit Tim Parker-Eaton, 56, and Kiwi skipper James Cutfield, 51, on the official list of those being formally investigated for shipwreck and multiple manslaughter.

Being investigated does not equate to being charged and is a procedural step.

Professor fears more deaths by ‘medicanes’ after Bayesian tragedy

Professor Yoav Yair, Dean of the School of Sustainability at Reichman University in Israel, told the Mirror that storms dubbed ‘medicanes’ - Mediterranean hurricanes - could cause similar sinkings like the Bayesian superyacht.

He said: “It is not a matter of if this (the Bayesian disaster) will happen again, but rather it’s when and where.

“In the last couple of years we have seen medicanes - which are a new phenomena. These are hurricane-like storms that pack a lot of energy, and create flash flooding, torrential rains, lightning, hail and severe sustained winds. The 2023 “Daniel” medicane destroyed Libya and caused over 30,000 deaths there.

“The sea surface temperature has risen globally and in the Med as well, charging the atmosphere with increased fluxes of water vapor, which means a higher potential for massive storms.”

Seven key unanswered questions around the sinking of the Bayesian

With the Bayesian lying on her side 50 metres underneath the now gentle waters of the Mediterranean, mystery still surrounds how the 56-metre superyacht, sank in the typhoon off the port of Porticello.

Remotely controlled underwater vehicles and cave divers are looking to raise the yacht , which experts will examine in the coming days.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch, 2 US citizens among missing after luxury yacht sinks off Sicily

15 people were rescued and one body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, by andrea rosa and nicole winfield | the associated press • published august 19, 2024 • updated on august 19, 2024 at 6:21 pm.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch and five other people were missing after their luxury sailing yacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.

Lynch, who was  acquitted in June  in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, when a tornado over the water known as a waterspout struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency.

One body was recovered, and police divers spent the day trying to reach the hull of the ship, which was resting at a depth of 50 meters (163 feet) off Porticello where it had been anchored, rescue authorities said. They returned to the site after 10 p.m. to see if it would be possible to search through the night, when weather conditions were expected to worsen, said Luca Cari, spokesman of the fire rescue service.

It had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and struck the place precisely where the 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.

“They were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Cocina, noting that another superyacht nearby wasn't as badly damaged and helped rescue some of the 15 survivors, who included Lynch's wife Angela Bacares.

The Bayesian was notable for its single 75-meter (246-feet) mast — one of the world’s tallest made of aluminum and which was lit up at night, just hours before it sank. Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $215,000) a week.

One of the survivors, identified as Charlotte Golunski, said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported, quoting the mother. The father, James Emsley, also survived, said Cocina.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, said he had noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realized the ship had simply disappeared, ANSA and the Giornale di Sicilia newspaper reported. Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Eight of those rescued were hospitalized while the others were taken to a hotel. One body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, said Cari, the fire rescue spokesperson. The rescue operations, which were visible from shore, involved helicopters and rescue boats from the coast guard, fire rescue and civil protection service.

Fisherman Francesco Cefalu’ said he had seen a flare from shore at around 4:30 a.m. and immediately set out to the site but by the time he got there, the Bayesian had already sunk, with only cushions, wood and other items from the superyacht floating in the water.

“But for the rest, we didn’t find anyone,” he said from the port hours later. He said that he immediately alerted the coast guard and stayed on site for three hours, but didn't find any survivors. “I think they are inside, all the missing people.”

He said he had been up early to check the weather to see if he could go fishing, and surmised that a sudden waterspout had struck the yacht.

“It could be that the mast broke, or the anchor at the prow pulled it, I don’t know,” he said.

Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries: In addition to Britain and the United States, passengers and crew were from Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain, he said.

Among the dead and missing, four were British, two were American, and one was a man with dual citizenship from Canada and Antigua, according to Luciano Pischedda, the Italian Coast Guard official overseeing the rescue operations.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was “providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families.”

Dutch foreign ministry spokesperson Casper Soetekouw said the lone Dutch citizen on board, a man, had been rescued and was not in life-threatening condition.

Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges related to Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp.

The not-guilty verdicts followed an 11-week criminal trial in San Francisco that delved into the history of HP’s  2011 acquisition  of Autonomy, a business software firm founded by Lynch.

The  fraud accusations  represented a dramatic turn in the fortunes of an entrepreneur once described as the Bill Gates of Britain — a title he seemed to live up to when he netted an $800 million from the Autonomy sale.

The acquittal vindicated Lynch, who had vehemently denied wrong doing and portrayed HP as a technological train wreck.

“I’m looking forward to returning the UK and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field,” Lynch said in a statement released after the verdict.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate 12 passengers in four double cabins, a triple and the master suite, plus crew accommodations, according to Charter World and Yacht Charters.
