Must-Visit Local Towns on an Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter
Sorrento
Just above the port is the beautiful Sorrento that perches high on the cliff. It is best known for its shopping centres, which are fairly near to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. It is also the place where the historic Basilica di Sant’antonino is located. Just below the cliff is the calm fishing village of Marina Grande, with its ancient ambience that will bring you back in time.
Salerno
This is a major shipping and ferry port in Southern Italy. The beauty of this historic old town founded by the Romans in 197 BC can’t be underestimated. Claimed to have many historical traces, it holds in its base 11th-century cathedrals. These include the impressive Baroque Chiesa di San Giorgio. It also overlooks Castello di Archi.
With beautiful bays and beaches to explore and enjoy, cruise on your private luxury chartered yacht to Positano.
Positano
Considered one of Amalfi Coast’s tourist destinations, this place boasts of the beautiful Spaggia Grande and other bays and beaches. It is also close to the famous island of Capri and the island of Ischia. Don’t miss the coastal road and the precarious Ponte deiLibri (Bridge of Books) that will add to your adventure list.
Amalfi
As popular as Positano, you should visit the gorgeous town of Amalfi. Explore its entire coastline which is declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This town was once a major maritime power. It flaunts its historical papermaking museum, cafes, and cathedrals.
Praiano
This is just a little coastal fishing village that is hidden between Positano and Amalfi. Life is slower in this place, making it an idyllic setting for a relaxing holiday. However, you can be sure that its cafes and bars are friendly. Also, the locals always have the time to sit by the Church of St. Luke.
Insider Tips from MYBA Accredited Broker and CEO of 212 Yachts, Jenny Caird
Jenny Caird is the founder of 212 Yachts and a seasoned charter broker. Her personal favourite Amalfi experience is kayaking through the Faraglioni sea stacks off Capri at sunrise, ahead of the tourist boats. For the adventurous, 212 Yachts certainly recommends incorporating early-morning tender runs to caves, or kayak excursions into your yacht itinerary. This will give you a truly peaceful experience.
Jenny also recommends exploring the lesser-known coastal caves. These are only accessible by smaller tenders, so we always advise clients to choose yachts with a quality tender. Jenny notes that many clients are unsure of whether to choose an Amalfi Coast or Italian Riviera yacht charter, and although both are beautiful destinations for a yacht charter, she does have a soft spot for the Amalfi Coast!
Another client favourite? Hiking the ‘Path of the Gods’ for incredible cliffside views. But if you don’t want to get sweaty, most guests choose to stay near the sea. We often secure clients into the Amalfi Coast’s most iconic restaurants by tender, combining yachting and fine dining seamlessly.
The cathedral in Amalfi, the Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea, is another must-see for history and architecture lovers.
