Charter Costs
Italy Yacht Charter Prices
A crewed sailing catamaran in Italy runs a median of around €28,000 a week, a motor yacht around €65,000. Both figures are the base rate — once APA and VAT are added the realistic total is close to half as much again, and on the Amalfi Coast the berths are what move it.

What a Week Costs
The honest range
Charter prices are quoted per week for the yacht, not per person, so the number that matters is the weekly rate divided by however many of you sail. One thing to understand before you compare anything: in Italy the advertised figure is the yacht and crew only. Food, drink, fuel and dockage are paid separately through an APA, and VAT is added on top, which in practice lifts the real cost by around 50%. The table below shows both numbers.

| Yacht type | Typical week | Median | Estimated all-in | Guests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sailing catamaran | €10,000 – €72,000 | €28,000 | €42,000 | 6–12 |
| Power catamaran | €16,500 – €75,000 | €62,000 | €93,000 | 6–8 |
| Motor yacht | €26,000 – €216,000 | €65,000 | €98,000 | 6–12 |
| Sailing yacht | €15,000 – €90,000 | €28,000 | €42,000 | 4–12 |
| Motor sailer or gulet | €13,000 – €105,000 | €17,500 | €26,000 | 6–12 |
Sailing catamarans
Four cabins and the whole Tyrrhenian coast
A crewed sailing catamaran is the most economical way to put a family or two couples on the water in Italy, and the shallow draft matters more here than people expect — it is what lets you anchor off Palmarola or in a Sardinian cala rather than paying for a berth. Median around €28,000 a week before APA and VAT, with plenty of the fleet in the teens and low twenties.

Power catamarans
Wide decks, fast between islands
A small but distinctive part of the Italian fleet, and almost all of it sits at the large, new end of the market — twenty metres and up, eight guests, crew of three or four. You get catamaran deck space and stability with the speed to cross from Naples to the Aeolians in a morning. Median around €62,000, close to the motor yachts rather than the sailing cats.

The Amalfi Coast as most people picture it
This is the largest and widest category in Italy, and the one the coast is built around: a crew of four or more, a chef, a tender worth using, and the range to run Capri, Positano and Ischia in a single week without a long passage. Median around €65,000, and the upper tenth of the fleet is past €216,000 — no category here has a longer tail.

Sailing yachts
Classic monohulls, and the reason Italy still sails
Italy keeps a real monohull fleet, from modern performance cruisers to restored classics with varnished decks. They take fewer guests than a catamaran of the same length and heel when the wind fills in, which is either the point or the problem depending on who is aboard. Median around €28,000 a week.

Motor sailers and gulets
Room for a bigger group
A small category in Italy and a sharply divided one: a handful of traditional motor sailers in the mid-teens, taking ten or twelve guests across broad wooden decks, and then a few large modern ones that cost several times as much. Because they carry so many people, the cost per head at the lower end is the lowest of anything on this page. Median around €17,500.

On Top of the Rate
What the headline figure does not cover
A Mediterranean charter is quoted as the yacht and crew only. Everything you consume — food, drink, fuel, dockage, port fees — is paid through an advance provisioning allowance (APA) of roughly 30 to 35% of the charter fee, handed to the captain before you board and settled against receipts at the end of the week. On top of that sits VAT, charged at the rate of the country the charter starts in. Add a customary gratuity of around 10% and the realistic total lands close to half as much again as the headline figure. Italy is also where dockage varies most: a night alongside in Porto Cervo or Capri in August costs a multiple of the same night in Sicily, and it comes out of the APA rather than the charter fee. Tell us the route and we will say what the allowance realistically needs to be.

Season
When it costs less
The Italian season runs from May to October, and July and August carry peak rates — often 20 to 30% above the shoulder months on the same boat. June and September are the value weeks, and in Italy they are also the pleasant ones: the water is warm, the Amalfi towns are walkable again and the anchorages off Capri are not full. Late May and October are cheaper still, with a real chance of a windy day.

Getting More for the Money
Two levers that actually move the price
The biggest lever on price is not the region but how many of you there are. A four-cabin catamaran costs the same whether six or twelve people sail on it, so the per-person figure can halve. The second lever is where you start: the same boat quoted out of Naples or Palermo rather than the Costa Smeralda in August is a different number, and the port fees that follow it differ even more. Tell us the budget rather than the boat, and we will show you what it actually reaches.

Italy Yacht Charter Prices: common questions
A crewed sailing catamaran has a median of about €28,000 a week and a sailing monohull much the same; power catamarans run around €62,000 and motor yachts €65,000, with the largest well past €200,000. Motor sailers and gulets start lower, near €17,500, but take more guests. All of these are base charter fees, before APA and VAT.
Budget roughly half as much again as the headline rate. APA runs 30 to 35% of the charter fee and covers food, drink, fuel and dockage; VAT is charged at the rate of the country the charter starts in; crew gratuity is customarily around 10%. On a €28,000 catamaran week that puts the realistic total near €42,000.
On like-for-like boats, yes — the Italian medians sit above the Greek ones on catamarans, sailing yachts and motor yachts, and the gap is widest on the catamarans. The one exception is motor sailers and gulets, which are cheaper in Italy than in Greece. The reason is mostly berthing: Italy has fewer free anchorages on the popular stretches and marina nights on the Amalfi Coast and Costa Smeralda are among the most expensive in the Mediterranean. If the budget is the binding constraint, ask us to quote Greece alongside Italy before you decide.
The charter fee depends far more on the boat and the week than on the region, but the running costs do not: port fees and dockage differ sharply between the Amalfi Coast, the Aeolian Islands and the Costa Smeralda, and those are paid from the APA. Two identical boats on identical dates can therefore end the week several thousand euro apart purely on route. We price the route, not just the yacht.
Early May, late September and October. July and August are peak everywhere in Italy, and the first three weeks of August are the tightest on availability as well as the dearest. June and September usually give the best balance of weather, quiet anchorages and price.
