Italy
Corporate yachting in Italy.
Italy offers corporate clients three fundamentally different coastlines: Sardinia with its Costa Smeralda and superyacht harbours, the Amalfi Coast as the most recognisable film location in the world, and the Ligurian Riviera with Portofino and the Cinque Terre. Each delivers exactly one thing that no other Mediterranean region can.
Marina di Porto Cervo on Sardinia is the home club of the YCCS — the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, organiser of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, the leading superyacht regatta in the world. The concentration of 30 to 40-metre yachts here exceeds any other Mediterranean harbour, which gives VVIP clients a unique social context.
Logistics in Italy is always a trade-off between visual beauty and infrastructure. Portofino has just 14 berths; Amalfi is effectively anchorage only. Our bases sit in larger marina hubs (Marina di Genova for Portofino, Marina d'Arechi for Amalfi), and the legendary places themselves are used as day-trip points reached by tender.

Every base is a standalone corporate programme with its own schedule, infrastructure and formats.

The season in Italy runs from May to September, peaking in July and August. The main non-logistical concern is the August holiday: many service providers close for Ferragosto, and procurement teams need to be warned six months ahead. Sardinia is the only exception, where work continues even during Ferragosto.
The Italian charter industry calls for careful accounting: a 22 % VAT applies to charter and catering but not to berths and fuel. Our finance team issues corporate clients a structured, line-itemised invoice that clears most European procurement filters without follow-up questions.

FAQ
What buyers ask us most.
Eight questions we receive every week from HR directors and CEOs. Not finding yours? Drop us a line — we reply within 24 hours.
Sardinia, Amalfi or Portofino — which to choose?
Sardinia (Porto Cervo) is for VVIP incentives and regattas next to the most expensive superyacht harbours in Europe. Amalfi is for emotionally charged client events focused on landscape. Portofino is for short premium programmes where the Ligurian Riviera is itself a brand.
When is the best time to plan?
May, June and September. July and August are the peak, with prices 30 to 40 % higher and crowded ports. In August many Italian providers close for Ferragosto — programmes are possible but call for extra planning six months ahead.
How much does a corporate programme in Italy cost?
From €550 per person per night on the Amalfi Coast to €1,200 on Sardinia. Sardinia is the most expensive location in our portfolio because of the concentration of the superyacht fleet and the limited port infrastructure at the season peak.
Can we berth in Portofino itself?
Only with a booking 12 months ahead and for yachts up to 30 metres. Porto di Portofino has 14 berths, most booked a season in advance. The standard scenario is a flotilla at Marina di Genova (20 minutes from Portofino) with a day trip into Portofino at anchor and a tender ashore.
What about the language?
English at level 3 to 4 of 5 is standard for skippers and marina officers. Among restaurants and destination management companies the level is uneven: 5 of 5 in Porto Cervo and Portofino, 2 to 3 of 5 in the small Amalfi villages. Russian-speaking support is arranged on request.
