Capri yacht charter

The best time to rent a yacht, catamaran, or sailing yacht in Capri is April to October. During the months of April, May, September and October the area is less crowded. During the high demand months of July and August we recommend booking your yacht charter well in advance. Arthaud Yachting has a wide selection of yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans available to suit your needs.

Explore the jagged but spectacular coastline of Capri Island from your luxury yacht charter, cruise from the ‘Blue Grotto,’ a natural deep blue cave in the North of the Island to the most Western tip of the Island, Punta Carena, where you can swim in the crystal clear waters of the Lido Del Faro, followed by the symbol of Capri, the ‘Faraglioni’, three monumental ancient rock formations in the South of the Island. Snorkeling here is a must.

Equally picturesque is the view from Capri’s highest point, Monte Solaro. On a clear day, the island of Ischia and Procida can be seen in the distance, as well as Naples and Vesuvius.

For a longer cruise, cross over to the Amalfi Coast and explore the stunning coastline of small islands and beaches, before dropping anchor just off the delightful pebbled beachfront of the famous cliffside town, Positano.

The flavors of the island are centered around fresh produce and seafood. Fresh salads including the world famous caprese salad are not to be missed. Enjoy as a light starter before pasta or as a side dish with some fresh fish.

The people of Capri take their seafood very seriously and you’ll see it on most menus, fresh fish and shellfish as well as seafood pastas such as the spaghetti alla vongole will not disappoint. We also recommend trying the island’s signature pasta dish, the ravioli caprese.

Lastly, a trip to Capri wouldn’t be complete without tasting some of their homemade limoncello that is created with natural organic lemons grown on the island.

Roman emperor Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, built his palace on the island of Capri and stayed there for the majority of his rule of the Roman Empire. Built specifically for security amid fears of assassination, the palace can only be accessed by foot and is about a two kilometer uphill hike from the town of Capri. The ruins are a perfect example of the grandeur of 1st century Roman architecture.

Liquid Art System is a contemporary art gallery in Capri. The gallery takes a ‘glocal’ approach to its exhibitions, combining ‘global’ influence with ‘local’ context and culture. A great place to visit whilst exploring the town of Capri.

Axel Munthe was a physician to the Swedish Royal Family. He built his home on the island and with it, some of the most visited gardens in Italy. Villa San Michele was his masterpiece. With beautiful views of the bay and wonderfully built roman style walkways and impeccable gardens, you begin to feel like royalty as you immerse yourself in the surroundings.

Capri is mainly composed of volcanic rock and is part of the charm of the island, where there are no white sand beaches, you have small caves, cliffside beach bars and rock pools that are perfect for swimming.

For a private and secluded swim in crystal clear waters, Piscina di Venere is located on the South East of the island. There may be a few locals but you won’t see many tourists at this relatively unknown gem.

Bagni di Tiberio is the most popular beach on the island. It has its own beach club with sun beds and a bar and restaurant. A great place to spend a day relaxing in the sun whilst being served food and drinks.

For a morning swim, the Marina Piccola leads to the Torre Sacacena, a great place for spotting yachts entering and leaving the bay with a beautiful backdrop of the island behind you.
