Superyacht charter on the Amalfi Coast & Capri
Nearly 30 metres of bespoke Italian interior, a chef in the galley and Capri off the stern.
Superyacht charter on the Amalfi Coast & Capri means taking in Positano and the Faraglioni stacks without sacrificing a shred of comfort. The Sanlorenzo SL96 runs to almost thirty metres and comes from an Italian builder that designs each interior around its owner. Boats this size generally live in Naples or Salerno; off Capri and Positano they lie at anchor in the roads while the tender shuttles guests to shore.
Her owner's cabin occupies the main deck with three more one level down, and the Jacuzzi up on the flybridge faces those vertical shorelines. Five crew, a cook among them, look after the lot — breakfast beneath the awning, the water toys, every dinghy run. A 28-knot top end means Naples to Capri never eats up the morning.
Families on a big holiday, landmark birthdays and once-in-a-lifetime events fill her calendar. A dozen people can be invited aboard for the day, while a week usually works through Capri, Ischia, Procida and Amalfi, with Ponza and its neighbours if the weather is kind. Fit-out varies from one yacht to the next and is fixed in the offer.

Where you go
Embarkation is at Molo Luise in Naples or Marina d'Arechi in Salerno. On a single day she heads for Capri and Positano, lying off Marina Piccola or opposite Nerano. A week means Capri, Ischia, Procida and Amalfi, now and then with a dash to Ponza.

When to go
The superyachts sail from May into the opening days of October, most serenely in June and September. August brings the strongest demand and its weeks sell long in advance. For one day, book the full day; for a week, steer clear of Ferragosto in mid-August, when the bay is at its most crowded.
Superyacht charter on the Amalfi Coast & Capri: FAQ
Can the superyacht be booked for just a day?
It can, though the week remains the classic format. On a day charter the SL96 normally leaves Naples or Salerno and sets course for Capri and Positano.
What does APA mean, and how big is it?
It is a prepayment towards running costs — diesel, food, berths — made together with the charter fee. Whatever is left unspent usually comes back to you, and the figure appears in your offer.
How does she work for children?
Rather well: four cabins, the owner's suite on the main deck and a cook who can prepare a separate children's menu. Agree on correctly sized life jackets and the water toys beforehand.
