Italy is one of the most spectacular yacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean. Costa Smeralda, Capri, Portofino, Amalfi, Positano, Sicily — each region offers a radically different experience, united by the same quality of water, the same exceptional gastronomy and the same concentration of natural and architectural beauty that only Italy can offer.
International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII offers a selection of superyachts available for charter in Italy — with STCW-certified crew, MYBA contract and transparent APA estimate from the first quote.
Sardinia is Italy’s premier luxury charter destination. Costa Smeralda — Porto Cervo, Cala di Volpe, Portisco — concentrates the highest density of superyachts in the entire Mediterranean after Monaco during July and August. The Maddalena Archipelago, a designated National Park, offers waters of incomparable transparency and chromatic diversity.
