Italy Sailing Itinerary
7-day Aeolian Islands Sailing Itinerary: from Portorosa | Sicily
Looking for inspiration? Check out our curated Italian sailing itineraries for the Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Aeolian Islands, and Tuscan Archipelago, featuring the best anchorages and gastronomic experiences.
View Day-by-DayAn Italy yacht charter is a country hub covering three start regions: Sardinia (Olbia/Portisco), Sicily (Portorosa/Palermo) and Amalfi (Procida/Salerno). Compare the national base overview in our Italy charter bases guide, then drill into the child market that fits your week.
Summer brings warm water and busy popular harbours across all three coasts. Competent crews pick one region rather than trying to sample everything in seven days. Shoulder months often feel easier for first Italian weeks.
From bareboats to skippered catamarans and crewed yachts, we match you to the right platform, then point you to Sardinia, Sicily or Amalfi for boats and weekly rates.

Yacht Charter Italy FAQs
Bareboat in Italy usually needs an ICC or equivalent recognised by the operator, plus recent coastal experience. Skippered and crewed weeks do not require you to skipper. We confirm paperwork before booking.
May to October is the main season across Sardinia, Sicily and Amalfi. June and September often balance warm water with slightly easier berthing than peak July and August.
Costs vary by region. A mid-size monohull week often sits in the mid thousands of euros before extras in shoulder season; peak weeks, Amalfi berths and larger catamarans cost more. Ask for a personalised quote for your chosen coast.
Yacht use for the week, standard inventory and contractual insurance. Fuel, overnight marina fees, food and optional crew are usually extras unless stated otherwise.
Start options cluster around Olbia/Portisco (Sardinia), Portorosa/Palermo (Sicily) and Procida/Salerno (Amalfi). See the Italy charter bases page, then the child pages for Sardinia, Sicily and Amalfi.
Bareboat suits experienced Mediterranean crews. Skippered is popular for first Amalfi weeks and busy peak-season harbours where local berthing knowledge matters. Choose the child market that matches your experience.
Yes, within one region. A classic week stays inside Sardinia, Sicily or Amalfi rather than passage-making between them. Use the child market pages for realistic itineraries.
