We had a fabulous 7 day charter on Blu. She is presented in perfect condition with all equipment functioning correctly. Super comfortable, with plenty space for 3 couples. All cabins are spacious, as are the 2 bathrooms & the forward cabin is extra spacious with a huge walk around bed. Blu sails really well, she is easy to handle under sail & while motoring. Procida is a beautiful Island as is neighbouring Ischia. We enjoyed beautiful anchorages as well as marinas on both while also visiting Capri, Positano & Amalfi. Giuseppe is a most welcoming host, he spent plenty of time with us on arrival, explaining perfectly how everything works on board. He gave us super advice on where to visit & the best restaurants in each location. He is a great communicator & stayed in touch with us throughout to make sure everything was going well. He is by far the best person I have ever chartered from & I would recommend Giuseppe & Blu 100%. We look forward to returning again in the future.

Amalfitana very beautiful, Amalfi and Positano completely overcrowded and lots of rip-offs. Seeing them once is enough. Marinas very expensive and poorly equipped, hardly any and then bad sanitary facilities.

Stromboli, Panarea and Salina are important destinations. A start from Palermo with a city tour before and after the sailing trip is recommended. The relaxed and inexpensive journey by (new) train to Capo d'Orlando is also recommended. By taxi or shuttle you would pay up to €400 per trip. By train it is only €14 per person. There are even taxis that cooperate with the port and take sailors to and from the port for €5 per person.
Stromboli, Panarea und Salina sind wichtige Ziele. Ein Start von Palermo mit Stadtbesichtigung vor und nach dem Segeltörn sind empfehlenswert. Ebenso die entspannte und günstige Anreise mit dem (neuen) Zug nach Capo d‘Orlando ist zu empfehlen. Per Taxi oder Shuttle würde man pro Fahrt bis zu 400€ zahlen. Mit der Bahn sind es nur 14€ pro Person. Es gibt sogar Taxis die mit dem Hafen kooperieren und Segler für 5€/Person dann vom und zum Hafen bringen.

The place is wonderful. You have to take into account where you spend the night. The marinas are few and small. When the forecast is bad they fill up. The staff at MY Charter kindly assists with reservations. I recommend planning your routes well in order to enjoy both the sailing and the night to the fullest. Positano at night and Nerano are not to be missed. Be careful with the lines if you stop in Positano.
El lugar es maravilloso. Hay que tener en cuenta dondemosar la noche. Las marinas son pocas y pequeñas. Cuando el pronóstico es malo se llenan. El staff de MY Chárter asiste con las reservas amablemente. Recomiendo planificar bien las derrotas para poder disfrutar al máximo tanto de las navegaciones como de las noches. Imperdibles Positano por la noche y Nerano. Cuidado con las líneas si se quedan en Positano.
