Day 1
Yacht Charter Italian Riviera
Rich history, a culture steeped in architecture and gastronomy, and awe-inspiring natural beauty are found in spades when you embark on an Italian Riviera yacht charter.
Rivaling its French counterpart on the Cote d’Azur, the Italian Riviera or Ligurian Riviera encompasses incredible beauty, history, and culture, welcoming charterers to experience a relaxed atmosphere, unspoiled villages, and authentic cuisine. The subtle curve of northwest Italy is home to the quaint fishing village of Portofino along the Amalfi Coast, the historical center of Genoa, and the lusting romance of Cinque Terre.
There are few better ways to explore this enchanting region than by luxury superyacht. Cruise the stunning coastlines, go ashore to enjoy classic Italian fare, walk the streets to immerse yourself in the warm and welcoming culture, and enjoy stunning sunsets over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea while sipping enchanting Italian wines.
The brightly colored homes of the beautiful fishing village of Portofino play an excellent backdrop to afternoon cocktails aboard your yacht. Head ashore to shop high-end boutiques, indulge in delightful local seafood restaurants, admire medieval castles, and take in beautiful sights.
Since the 1950s, Portofino has been a favorite spot of the Hollywood elite; the quintessential Portofino restaurant Puny played host to the engagement of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as European royalty. With your superyacht as your home base, there is no better way to spend an afternoon than frolicking around this world-renowned locale.
Visitors might also explore the iconic Cinque Terre (CHEEN-kweh TEHR-reh) during a luxury crewed Italian Riviera yacht charter known for its dramatic coastal scenery peppered with high cliffs, picturesque fishing villages, and refined offerings.
Cinque Terre, “Five Lands,” is a distinct area comprising the five adjacent towns of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, beautiful fishing villages. These unique villages each boast their own characteristics, and each must be experienced.
The best means of doing so is walking the trail through the hills overlooking the ocean that meanders through stunning botanical gardens and olive orchards. Known as Via dell’ Amore, this easy and picturesque 25-minute walk takes you from Riomaggiore and Monterosso. A sunset cruise on board your luxury yacht past Vernazza, one of the most striking of the lands, will offer scenes straight out of an Italian romance film.
In 2004, the capital city of Genoa was named the European Capital of Culture, and for a good reason. The cobbled streets of Genoa are brimming with history, art galleries, music, and architecture. Also, a member of the World Heritage List, Genoa has so much to offer every type of charterer. From historic homes and palaces to luxury shopping to abundant museums and a myriad of exceptional restaurants, both history buffs and foodies will be impressed with Genoa.
Wine aficionados can also venture into the picturesque Ligurian hills to discover the region’s vineyards and wineries. Sample local varietals, such as Vermentino and Pigato, and learn about the winemaking traditions of the area.
