When to sail in the Amalfi Coast?

The high season of the Amalfi Coast yacht charter generally runs from May to October. If you are looking for the hottest months, then you will need to visit in July and August as May and October have temperatures in the lower 20s.

During the summer months, these winds will usually come from the south. 

Pricing and Availability 

Depending on whether you choose to rent a motorboat or charter a yacht, the prices for the boat hire service will vary. For yacht charters, keep in mind that fuel, port fees and other extras are additional. During the high season, you will be expected to pay a premium for yacht charters. When chartering a yacht, you will pay on average 450€ a day for a catamaran and around 350€ a day for sailboats. When renting motorboats, the pricing will be a bit different due to the wider inventory and different classifications of boats. We suggest playing around with the filters until you find the boat that is best for your project. 

For yacht charters in the high season, we highly recommend to start your search in November or December. This will give you enough time to speak with an advisor that will help you find the best boat for your budget and project. Searching in advance will also give you access to the biggest inventory as 65% of boats are already booked by March. For motorboats, we high recommend booking at least two months in advance. 

Do you need a license to rent a boat in the Amalfi Coast?

When chartering a yacht, you will need a license to rent a boat. If you are from an EU member state, than your license will be valid in Italy. For those coming from outside of the EU, we recommend applying for an ICC that is validated by the UN. If you are rentin a motorboat, anything over 40 horsepower will require an approved license. 

If you are renting as a bareboat, you will have to fill out your nautical CV detailing your previous experience.
