Italian Riviera Yacht Charter

A luxury yacht charter along the Italian Riviera embodies the charm and elegance of old Italy, along with all the modern Mediterranean luxuries you could desire. Charter guests can enjoy spectacular views of the rugged coastline in the comfort of their luxury yacht before stepping ashore for a heady combination of restaurants, museums and designer shopping.

From rolling hillsides entwined with olive groves and grape vines, to chic city bars and exclusive Italian seaside towns, a luxury superyacht holiday on the Italian Riviera guarantees an indulgent and luxurious charter experience. The coastline is home to some of the most dazzling beaches in the Western Mediterranean and the calm waters that lap the shores are ideal for snorkelling, kayaking and windsurfing, or simply just for observing from the yacht’s deck with a glass of local wine in hand.

The Italian Riviera stretches gracefully down from the busy cruising grounds of the Côte d’Azur to the beautiful seaside town of Tuscany, exuding elegance and old-world glamour. Offering a more laid-back ambience than the glamourous French Riviera, Italy’s rugged coastline is speckled with hilltop villages that wind between chalky cliffs and seaside towns.

The five villages of the Cinque Terre are perched on the clifftops overlooking the Ligurian Sea and are surrounded by rolling hillsides of olive groves and grape vines. Together they made up a UNESCO-protected national park, a perfect stop-off for exploring the stunning collections of gardens and winding streets.

The tiny and sublimely elegant fishing village of Portofino has long attracted the yachting set to its picturesque harbour. It boasts a collection of exclusive designer boutiques and fantastic restaurants, carved into the steep rock face. Relaxing amongst the pastel-coloured architectures of the beautiful piazza at an Italian café is the perfect way to while away an afternoon in style.

The bustling city of La Spezia is set against a stunning mountain backdrop and its deep-water harbour is a fantastic base for exploring the surrounding towns and villages.

Another must-see location in any luxury yacht charter of the Italian Riviera is the former maritime republic of Genoa. Its curious landscape rises up from the Ligurian coast with tall, narrow buildings packed densely into the hillsides, painted in vibrant red, orange and yellow.

Curving west from Genoa to the French border is the Riviera di Ponente, which boasts some of the longest stretches of golden sands along the coast. Beautiful beaches as well as historical towns and internationally-acclaimed luxury resorts are on offer along this fabulous ribbon of coastline, from the famous San Remo to the 4km long white sands of Alassio.

Taking guests through a world of beautiful scenery and uniquely fascinating destinations, a luxury superyacht charter around the Italian Riviera promises to be one of the most rewarding experiences to enjoy in the Mediterranean.
