- Day 1
Embark in NaplesDistance: 20 nm*
Starting your Amalfi Coast yacht charter could not begin in a better location than Naples. Steeped in history, this highly cultural city promises an exciting start to your luxury yacht charter adventure.
You will have plenty of time to explore some of Naples before meeting the crew of your motor yacht. Be sure to pay a visit to the royal palace or some of the many boutiques dotted around the centre. If you only have time to make one visit to a historical site, the world-famous plot of Pompeii is in very close proximity to the city of Naples. Or perhaps you would rather spend some time searching for the sunken city of Baiae.
To make the most of your trip to Naples, visit one of the many centrally located museums to see some intriguing artefacts and if there's time follow it up with a stop at one of the many fortifications, palaces and ruins situated around the city and its suburbs. As you make your way back to your luxury charter yacht, stop off at Palazzo Petrucci for an authentic taste of Neopolitan cuisine.
