Naples is a major yacht gateway to Capri, Ischia, Procida and the Amalfi Coast, combining culture, airport access and Gulf of Naples cruising.
Naples is a major cultural and logistical yacht gateway to the Gulf of Naples, Capri, Ischia, Procida and the Amalfi Coast. It combines a powerful historic city with immediate access to some of Italy’s most famous cruising destinations.
For yachts, Naples is often used as an embarkation point, provisioning stop or cultural city call before cruising to Capri, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi or the islands. The city offers airport access, harbour facilities, restaurants, museums and links to Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Naples is more intense and authentic than polished resort destinations, but that is part of its appeal. It gives yacht guests access to world-class history, food, archaeology, islands and dramatic coastal cruising.
