Capri is the most iconic island in the Mediterranean. Spanning 10 km², it encapsulates centuries of history — Roman emperors, writers, artists — exceptional gastronomy, dramatically beautiful landscapes, and a social scene that rivals the most exclusive destinations on the French Riviera. From a superyacht, Capri reveals itself at its best — accessible by sea, away from land-based crowds, with anchorages facing the Faraglioni that belong exclusively to those who navigate its waters.
International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII offers superyachts available for charter in Capri and on the Amalfi Coast — with STCW-certified crew, MYBA contract, and transparent APA estimation.
The Faraglioni are three limestone sea stacks rising from the sea off Capri’s southeast coast — Stella, Mezzo, and Scopolo. Anchoring in front of the Faraglioni at sunset is the most powerful visual experience in all of the Italian Mediterranean. Passing under the natural arch of the Faraglione di Mezzo by tender is a tradition on any Capri charter.
The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is a sea cave whose waters glow with an intense luminous blue — an optical effect created by the refraction of light through an underwater opening. It is accessible only by rowboat from the sea — the entrance is too low for a tender. During high season, the wait from land can be long. From a superyacht — your tender drops you directly in front of the entrance, without queuing.
Capri’s Piazzetta is Italy’s most famous square — four cafés, tables on the cobblestones, trompe-l’œil facades, the church bell chiming the hours. It is the convergence point for all of the island’s social life. Accessible by tender from Marina Grande port in 5 minutes — or by funicular from the port to the village.
Marina Piccola, on the island’s south coast, is Capri’s historic beach — two coves protected by the Faraglioni, crystal-clear waters, high-end beach service. Il Canzone del Mare — Marina Piccola’s legendary restaurant — is one of the most historically rich gastronomic addresses in the entire Mediterranean.
From Capri, the Amalfi Coast is a 30-minute sail. This is the natural itinerary from Capri — a day in Positano, a night in Amalfi, a stopover in Ravello accessible by tender and taxi from the port.
Positano — Italy’s most photographed vertical village — its colorful houses cascading down to the sea, its pebble beaches, its waterfront restaurants. Anchoring in front of Positano is one of the most shared travel images on social media.
Amalfi — a medieval town whose cathedral overlooks an exceptional natural harbor. The Scala del Duomo, the Cloister of Paradise, the lemon-scented alleys — a town that can be explored on foot from the port, with the tender just a few meters away.
Ravello — perched 350 meters above the sea, Ravello offers the most spectacular view of the entire coast — accessible by taxi from Amalfi port in 20 minutes.

May and June — ideal for Capri. Water already warm, summer crowds absent, impeccable service. The light in May on the Faraglioni is exceptional.
September — Capri regains its calm after summer. Water at 24°C, less crowded restaurants, more available anchorages. The connoisseurs’ recommendation.
July-August — high season. Capri is very busy in summer — anchorages are managed by the captain who knows the calmest areas.
Capri → Sardinia — 12-hour crossing — the South Italy → Costa Smeralda itinerary.
Capri → French Riviera — sailing up via Portofino and Monaco — the grand Western Mediterranean itinerary.
Capri → Greece — via the Strait of Messina and Corfu — for clients wishing to cover the entire Central Mediterranean.
Capri and the Amalfi Coast in May and June offer exceptional value for money — the best units are available at low season rates in an incomparable setting.
