About chartering in Salerno
Chartering in Salerno offers a seamless blend of luxury and coastal discovery, with direct access to the iconic Amalfi Coast and the serene Gulf of Salerno. The city lies along the northern edge of the Gulf, nestled between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the dramatic cliffs of Southern Italy, making it a prime departure point for superyachts and leisure cruisers. Most charters begin at Marina D'Arechi, a modern facility with full services, or from Salerno's main quays, both providing easy access to open waters.
From Salerno, a day trip can reach the historic towns of Amalfi and Sorrento, the volcanic majesty of Mount Vesuvius, and the glittering islands of Capri, Procida, and Ischia. Sailors often follow the famous 120-mile route: Salerno → Amalfi → Sorrento → Naples → Procida → Ischia → Capri → Salerno, or explore the Pontine Islands and Ventotene for secluded anchorages. The mild Mediterranean climate ensures comfortable sailing from May through October, with summer temperatures reaching +28°C and water temperatures between +20°C and +23°C.
