Naples Luxury Yachting Guide

Naples is louder, more intense, more unnerving, but perhaps ultimately more satisfying than almost anywhere else in Italy. Visitors to Naples, Italy’s third largest city, will find it impossible to ignore the enchantingly faded grandeur of one of Europe’s liveliest cities.

Many Italy yacht charters begin in Naples, a city with a distinct energy - chaotic yet charming, cluttered yet beautiful. Rather daunting to the virgin eye, Naples has a way of shedding your inhibitions to present a proud and colourful culture with an alluring hospitality. Naples is the yacht hub of southern Italy and the gateway to Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

Scenery
Across sparkling blue seas the brooding slopes of Mount Vesuvius make for an impressive backdrop. On top of that, honey-coloured cliffs drop sheer into the sea and vineyards shimmer with the promise of the crisp wine to come. Lemon trees loaded with blossom give off the sweet scent of summer and oleanders and bougainvillea colour the landscape like an impressionist's palette.

Many travellers see the bustling city as a convenient base for an excursion to the nearby twinkling charmsof Capri and the Amalfi Coast, although Naple has more than enough delights to entertain.

The San Carlo
One of the main objects of admiration in Naples is the state-of-the-art theatre, ‘The San Carlo’. Described as a place which ‘dazzles the eyes and enraptures the soul’, the Teatro San Carlo upholds the cultural feeling throughout the city.

Renowned for its great operatic repertoire and its performances of some nineteenth century forgotten masterpieces, this theatre strives to maintain the comic operas of Neapolitan's era. Preserving the traditions of Italy and engaging in some striking performances, The San Carlo makes for an unforgettable evening.
