Pure Thoughts

The Amalfi Coast, situated in the southern part of Italy, is undoubtedly one of the most magical destinations for a luxury yacht charter.

This coastline stretches for 50 kilometres (31 miles) along the Tyrrhenian Sea and is dotted with charming towns, stunning cliffs, vibrant colours, and some of the best food in the world. Towns not to be missed on your trip include Amalfi, Positano and Ravello - or for fans of The Talented Mr Ripley, a visit to Atrani is a must.

Don't miss Amalfi, a powerful maritime republic in the Middle Ages and now a stunning and much-photographed town. Positano's history dates back to Roman times, with its beautiful architecture and vibrant atmosphere having drawn visitors for centuries. Also worth a visit is the historic town of Ravello, perched high above the Amalfi coast with a distinctive landmark centre and commanding views.

The islands of Capri and Ischia are both standout destinations too. Marina Grande and Marina Piccola on Capri offer fine dining, vibrant nightlife and unadulterated Italian glamour, along with stunning beaches and rocky landscapes. Ischia is a holiday refuge for many Italians and while it has many lively spots, it offers a more low-key rustic charm.

The Amalfi Coast is a very special place; its captivating natural beauty, charming towns, rich history, and sumptuous cuisine make this destination a winner for everyone on board. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or a romantic getaway, the Amalfi Coast promises an unforgettable luxury yacht charter.
