About chartering in Taggia

Chartering in Taggia offers a tranquil escape along the Ligurian Sea, where historic olive groves meet sun-drenched beaches and quiet coastal waters. The main departure point is Porticciolo Arma di Taggia, a small tourist marina in the coastal district of Arma di Taggia, ideal for launching day trips or short cruises. From here, a day trip easily reaches the nearby islands of Capri and the charming towns of the Italian Riviera, including Sorrento and Amalfi, all within a few hours' sail.

The setting is defined by the contrast between Taggia Alta, the ancient hill town known for its Taggia olives, and Arma di Taggia, the modern fishing and resort community with its yellow church and beach. Sailing yachts depart from the sheltered waters of the marina, protected by the Ligurian coastline and offering calm conditions for beginners and experienced sailors alike.

Waters reached on a day trip include the open Ligurian Sea, the sheltered bays near Capri, and the scenic anchorages along the coast toward Sorrento and Naples. These routes provide access to pristine beaches, historic monasteries, and vibrant seaside villages that embody the authentic spirit of Italian heritage.
