01 — Discover Italy
Italy is one of the world's most iconic yachting destinations, shaped by thousands of islands, ancient heritage, and some of the most breathtaking coastlines in the Mediterranean. Located in southeastern Europe, Italy is surrounded by the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean seas, creating an extraordinary landscape made for exploration by water.
Around Naples, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. Capri rises from deep blue water, Ischia offers volcanic landscapes and thermal traditions, and the Amalfi Coast unfolds beneath steep mountains dotted with villages such as Positano and Amalfi.
Sardinia adds another dimension entirely, with spectacular beaches, granite cliffs, crystalline water, and some of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious yachting destinations. With exceptional cuisine, historic towns, sophisticated marinas, and landscapes that seem designed to be approached from the sea, Italy delivers one of the most complete yacht experiences in the Western Mediterranean.
