13 Day Genoa Charter Itinerary - Genoa to Naples

Genoa is the heart of Italian Riviera. To the west runs the Riviera di Ponente to the French border; and the Riviera di Levante that runs south and east from Genoa to the Gulf of La Spezia. You will be meeting your superyacht's crew shortly, but take the opportunity to explore the cobblestone streets and admire the Baroque architecture of Palazzo Reale. 

Your captain will give you a brief on what to expect during your charter, followed by a cruise along the coast of Corsica where you will dine onboard to a delicious meal prepared by your masterful chef made from fresh local ingredients. 

The island is made verdant by many underground springs, ensuring the land and the people that live in it are full of life. This ultimately compliments the azure waters that surround Elba, making it appear abundantly blue and tranquil.

Porto Ferrario is the largest port on the island although one can always find good shelter in one of the many bays and inlets all round the island.  We suggest a bay to the north called Biodola Bay. It is also possible to visit Napoleon’s house where he was exiled in 1814.  Or perhaps you will prefer to anchor on the east coast at Porto Azzuro which boasts enviable cruising backdrops. 

Two really good ones are Nichiareto and Galeria where you will have a picturesque vantage view of Mount Cinto. This part of the island is abundant with nature walks and hiking trails, perfect for active guests who wish to have their own mini expedition into the vast nature reserve of Corsica.

Swimming and diving are excellent here, with beaches sporting secret coves that you can get small tender into if you wish to search for treasure. Girolata Bay is very pleasant so perhaps spend the night on anchor here.

Your morning will be spent on your waters toys as you glide through Rizanesse river and lose yourself in the glow of nature. Following the return to your motor yacht you may wish to explore more wonders of this side of Corsica, we recommend venturing to Calanova to visit the tower of Campumoru. The building dates back to the 1500s and sits in on the tip of a coastal hill providing views of the vibrant locale. 

When you arrive in the small town Proriano, you will lunch at A Panattaria bakery and people watch. Following this will be a trip to the demure church where you will be given a tour of the beautifully decorated interior. For supper, you will dine at the decadent Le Mancinu before your evening stroll down the promenade. 

A group of some of the most beautiful islands in the whole of the Western Mediterranean, with a lively and colourful population of people from venders, galleria owners, and street performers. You'll spend the day venturing through the busy streets, doing a spot of shopping here, and there before you lunch at one of the family-run restaurants that line the cobblestone paths of the city.

the Parco Nazionale dell’Arci offers an ideal anchorage for superyachts, with waters that boast a flourishing seabed of aquatic life and provide amazing conditions for scuba diving fanatics. To round of your day, you will return to your superyacht where you chef will prepare your supper to be served overlooking the the island of Sardinia. 

After last night's festivities, we imagine you and your guests will want to relax and unwind for the entirety of the day. For this reason, you will be venturing to Isola Tavolara to recline onboard your luxury yacht with the breathtaking mountainous range as your backdrop. 

Guests who are up for the challenge can spend the afternoon hiking the nature trail to the very tip and get an incomparable view of the sun setting over Sardinia.

Ischia is an attractive and colourful island just off of Naples, renowned for its amazing hotels and beautiful scenery. You will spend the day unwinding in the island's famed botanical gardens with waters rumoured to contain healing properties. For lunch, you will get the chance to dine Negombo resort's restaurant or wait until you return to mainland Italy where you will have Neopolitan cuisine at your disposal. 

Although your charter may be over when in Naples there is still plenty of tourist attractions to occupy your time before the end of your vacation. For example, you may wish to visit the royal palace, or perhaps take a trip to the forgotten city of Pompeii.
