Anacapri Yachts for Charter
A Yacht Trip to Anacapri, Italy
Nestled in the stunning embrace of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Anacapri is one of those exquisite gems on the island of Capri that makes for a perfect yachting destination. Anchoring your yacht off the coast, you’ll be mesmerized by the sapphire blue of the water, crystal clear and inviting.
The Waters and Marinas
As you navigate towards the marina, the shimmering Mediterranean waters welcome you with their gentle lapping waves. The Marina Grande, Capri’s main harbor, is a bustling yet idyllic spot, well-equipped to cater to yachts. The marina is fringed by charming bougainvillea-clad buildings, setting the scene for the elegant adventure ahead. After docking, be sure to explore the local services, which include excellent cafes and shops offering everything from luxurious regalia to local delicacies.
Exploring Anacapri
Once ashore, a short and scenic drive or a funicular ride will take you up to Anacapri. This quaint town, perched higher up on the island, offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling Capri Town. Stroll along the narrow, winding streets lined with artisan shops and cafes. The Chiesa di San Michele, with its stunning painted ceramic floor, is a must-see.
Villa San Michele and Mount Solaro
Anacapri is renowned for the enchanting Villa San Michele, the former home of Swedish physician Axel Munthe. Nestled amidst lush gardens, the villa offers panoramic views of the coast and is steeped in fascinating history. From here, take the chairlift to the summit of Mount Solaro, the highest point on the island. The ride gives you a breathtaking aerial view, and at the top, the landscape unfurls in a magnificent panorama that stretches across the Bay of Naples and beyond.
Exploring the Blue Grotto
No visit to Capri is complete without a stop at the Grotta Azzurra, or Blue Grotto. A short boat trip takes you to this mesmerizing sea cave known for its electric blue luminescent waters. It’s a surreal experience, as sunlight passes through an underwater cavity and illuminates the grotto, creating a magical effect.
Dining and Relaxation
After an exciting day of exploration, dine at one of Anacapri’s delightful restaurants, where local cuisine tantalizes your taste buds with fresh seafood and Caprese salad. Don’t forget to try a crisp Limoncello, made from locally grown lemons.
Continuing Your Yacht Journey
After your captivating stay in Anacapri, consider charting a course to the glamorous Amalfi Coast. Navigate towards Positano and Amalfi, with their stunning cliffs and colorful architecture, or head to the chic island of Ischia for its thermal spas and lush landscapes. Each destination promises a distinct charm and endless exploration, offering a perfect continuation of your Mediterranean yacht adventure.
