7-day Amalfi Coast loop
A sample loop through Amalfi Coast. Everything below is a starting point — every charter is shaped around your group, your pace, and the season.
Numbered pins mark each anchorage in order, traced by the real sailing route. Hover a leg to see that day's notes; scroll or pinch to zoom and click-drag to pan.
Board in Castellammare and cruise the short leg across to Sorrento. Anchor off the town's dramatic cliffs, tender ashore for the Piazza Tasso, then dinner on board watching the lights come up along the coast.

Morning cruise to Capri. Visit the Blue Grotto by tender, then anchor in Marina Piccola. Take the Funicular up to Capri town for lunch, boutique shopping, and the Gardens of Augustus lookout over the Faraglioni.

1The Bay of Naples's largest full-service yacht base. Marinas, provisioning and a straight-shot road up to Naples's Capodichino airport make it the natural embarkation port for any Amalfi charter.
2The Amalfi Coast's grande dame, perched on volcanic cliffs looking out across the Bay of Naples. Sorrento's Piazza Tasso, its lemon groves, and the walk along Via San Cesareo make for the ideal first-night warm-up before the coast opens up.

Every itinerary is a starting point. Robyn adjusts the route, the pace and the stops around your group, your dates and the boat you choose.
Sail past the Faraglioni to Positano, arguably the most photographed village on the coast. Tender in for a stroll up the pastel-stacked hillside, coffee at La Zagara, or lunch at Chez Black on the beach.

A short cruise east to Amalfi itself, the town that gave the coast its name. Visit the 9th-century Duomo di Sant'Andrea, wander the paper museum, or catch a taxi up to Ravello for the Villa Cimbrone gardens and their infinity view.

The longest leg of the trip — cross back across the Bay of Naples to Ischia. The volcanic island is famous for its natural thermal springs; consider a spa afternoon at Poseidon Gardens or Cavascura's steam caves.

A short hop to tiny Procida, the smallest and most cinematic of the Bay islands. Colourful fisherman's houses climb the hills of Marina Corricella. Time seems to move slower here — a quieter counterpoint to Capri.

Morning cruise back across the bay to Castellammare for disembarkation. A final breakfast on board with Vesuvius on the horizon.

The most storied island in the Mediterranean. The Blue Grotto's electric-blue interior, the Faraglioni sea stacks framing every sunset, and the boutique-lined Via Camerelle. Anchor in Marina Piccola and let the island's rhythm — a swim before breakfast, an aperitivo before dinner — set the pace.
4The pastel village that most people picture when they think of the Amalfi Coast. Tender ashore for the Spiaggia Grande, then work your way up the terraced streets past the majolica-tiled dome of Santa Maria Assunta to the boutiques of Via dei Mulini.
5The town that gave the coast its name. The 9th-century Duomo di Sant'Andrea with its striped façade and Cloister of Paradise is the centrepiece. From the Marina Grande it's a short taxi up the corniche to Ravello and the Villa Cimbrone gardens, one of the most photographed viewpoints in Italy.
6The largest of the Bay of Naples islands and the least seen by the international crowd. Ischia is volcanic — its natural thermal springs feed spa gardens at Poseidon and Cavascura's steam caves. The Castello Aragonese, connected to the main island by a stone causeway, is worth an afternoon on its own.
7Tiny, cinematic Procida — the smallest of the Bay islands and a favourite of Italian filmmakers. The pastel fishermen's houses of Marina Corricella climb the hill in a stack of ochre and salmon and terracotta. Time seems to move slower here — a quiet counterpoint to Capri.
