Italy catamaran charter
destinations.
Four very different sailing grounds — granite coves and La Maddalena, the volcanic Aeolians or the family-easy Egadi, Capri and the Amalfi glamour, the quieter Tuscan Archipelago. Short hops, clear water, full-service marinas.
Plan your catamaran charter in Italy. Sail from Naples, Salerno, or Sorrento for Amalfi and Capri. Choose Olbia or Portisco for Sardinia and La Maddalena. Start in Palermo, Trapani, Capo d’Orlando, or Milazzo for Sicily, the Aeolian, and the Egadi. Depart from Marina di Scarlino, Punta Ala, or Piombino for Tuscany and Elba. Expect clear water, short hops, and full-service marinas. Browse our destinations and sailing guides. See routes, wind tips, and marina info. Pick your dates and crew size.

Sicily
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We arrange park permits, moorings, and fuel stops. Briefings cover restricted zones, Posidonia rules, and fallback harbors. For Stromboli and the Egadi MPA, we follow local notices to mariners and official mooring fields.
Tuscany
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We plan routes, moorings, fuel, and restaurant stops. Berths book out fast in July and August. Arrive early afternoon for the best spots.
Campania
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We plan routes, moorings, and park permits. Briefings cover traffic schemes, Posidonia rules, and fallback harbors. Book berths in July and August. Arrive early.
Choosing your Italian catamaran charter destination
Italy offers more catamaran charter variety than any single Mediterranean country. The four main regions cover four very different sailing experiences — and most guests come back for a different one their second time. Sardinia for the granite coves and the protected La Maddalena archipelago. Sicily for either the volcanic drama of the Aeolians or the protected short hops of the Egadi. Campania for Capri, Positano, and the Amalfi glamour. Tuscany for the underrated, quieter Tuscan Archipelago.
Distances within each region are short — typical days are 2 to 4 hours of sailing — which leaves real time for swimming, lunch stops, and walking ashore. A catamaran handles all four regions well: stable on anchor, shallow draft for the protected coves, and the wide cockpit gives you a beach club feel during long mooring afternoons.
Quick regional comparison
Sardinia — most booked, marquee destination
The northern coast and La Maddalena archipelago are the most popular Italian catamaran charter region in our fleet. Granite headlands, jade-green coves, and the shortest distance between protected anchorages of any Italian region. Best for guests who want the “wow” sailing photos and an easy week. Departures from Olbia, Portisco, or Cannigione. Sardinia catamaran charter guide →
Sicily — volcanic drama or sheltered family week
Two distinct loops. The Aeolian Islands for Stromboli erupting at night, mud baths on Vulcano, and the upmarket boutique stop at Panarea — a more adventurous week with longer crossings. The Egadi Islands for short hops between Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo — the most family-friendly Italian charter region. Departures from Milazzo (Aeolians) or Trapani (Egadi).

Campania — high glamour, Capri and Amalfi
The most photographed Italian charter route. Naples to Procida to Ischia to Capri, then south down the Amalfi Coast through Positano, Praiano, and Amalfi to Salerno. Most Amalfi towns have no marina — you live at anchor or on managed mooring fields. Densest week of the four regions, with the best food and the longest restaurant evenings ashore.

Tuscany — quieter, the underrated week
The Tuscan Archipelago — Elba, Giglio, Capraia, and the restricted Pianosa and Montecristo. Less crowded than the southern regions, predictable winds, calm marinas even in August. Best for shoulder season (May, June, September) and for guests who want excellent food on the mainland coast (Maremma, Argentario) combined with relaxed island hops. Tuscany catamaran charter guide →
