Sailing in Italy

When you book your Italy yacht charter with The Moorings, we give you the freedom to make all the decisions, including which of our world class yachts you glide around the Mediterranean on. Which of our sensational catamarans or monohulls will you choose?

You could cruise around the Tyrrhenian Sea in style as you board one of our incredible catamarans. Sleek, glamorous and high-performing, you’ll rule the waves and look great doing it! The additional hull makes this a great option if you need plenty of space for your friends and family aboard the yacht.

On the other hand, you have the monohull. If the authentic, quintessential sailing experience is something you treasure, then choosing a monohull for your Italy yacht charter is the way to go. Powerful, smooth and all-around brilliant, our fleet of state-of-the-art monohulls are a dream.

Yacht Charters in Italy

Once you’ve selected which of our incredible yachts you want to sail around Italy on, it’s time to choose who will be leading the way! Will you go for a Bareboat, skippered, or crewed yacht charter?

Bareboat Yacht Charter in Italy

If you want to unleash your wild side and embark on the adventure of a lifetime, choose a bareboat yacht charter where you’ll take the helm and guide yourself around the Aeolian Islands. Want to enjoy a mixture of skippering and relaxing? No problem! With our skippered yacht charters, you can sunbathe up on deck while one of our experienced skippers navigates you through the open waters, but still take charge whenever you want.

Crewed Yacht Charter in Italy

Planning a sailing vacation with lots of guests? Pick the ultimate yacht experience with a crewed charter. You’ll welcome aboard up to 10 guests and be met by a team of skippers, chefs and housekeepers who will cater to your every need. After departing from any of our Italy bases, say hello to paradise as you experience a specialized itinerary filled with incredible food, amazing wine and even better company!

When is the best time to visit Italy?

As you start planning your dream sailing vacation in Italy, you might be wondering when the best time is to set sail on the open waters. The sailing season in Italy runs from May-October, with the most popular time being July-August.

It’s important to note that, while our Procida and Sicily bases are open all year around, our Sardinia base is closed early November to mid-March so it’s best to plan a Summer vacation if you want to cruise around the Tyrrhenian Sea!

Italy’s sailing season extends through October, making it an excellent time to enjoy warm waters and quieter marinas. That’s why it’s featured in our guide on top Mediterranean sailing spots in October. Learn more about the Best Time to Sail the Mediterranean.

How much are the mooring fees in Italy?

In Italy, you can expect the mooring fees to range between 35 Euros to 210 Euros. 

When it comes to mooring up and exploring the beautiful Aeolian Islands, mooring fees will differ depending on the duration and season of your Italy yacht charter, as well as the size and type of boat you choose. For example, if you moor up in Capri on our Moorings 4200 catamaran during the high season, you could expect to pay 170 Euros per night, but less competitive marinas may charge less.

How long does it take to sail Italy?

At The Moorings, we offer Italy yacht charters with durations of 5 nights to 14 nights. While all of them feature opportunities to hop between awe-inspiring islands and explore the local culture, you may find that the time it takes to sail Italy to your heart’s content completely depends on what you want to do!

For example, if you want to spend lots of time on land hiking, shopping and eating out, you may find you’re still not satisfied after two weeks! If you would rather spend your vacation sailing at a leisurely pace, swimming and sunbathing on quiet beaches, you may only need a week to make the most of your charter.
