What our customers ask about Sailing Tours & Trips in Italy
What are the best routes and destinations covered on Italy sailing tours?
Italy sailing tours take travelers through three main regions: the Aeolian Islands Amalfi Coast and Sardinia. From Castellammare di Stabia boats navigate to well-known destinations like Capri Positano and the small island of Procida. The Aeolian Islands route takes sailors past active volcanoes including Stromboli Vulcano and Panarea. Sardinia's routes focus on the Costa Smeralda with stops in Tavolara and Bonifacio. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Beautiful landscapes, pleasant sailing, nice team, excellent skipper. The landscapes along the Amalfi coast were absolutely stunning."
What is the best time of year to sail in Italy?
The best sailing months run from May to September with each region offering different advantages. The Amalfi Coast offers clear skies and calm waters from June to September with temperatures between 75-85°F. Sardinia works best in July and August. May and September see fewer tourists and temperatures around 70°F making these months good alternatives. According to TourRadar travelers: "We had some rough weather during our trip, but our skipper Noon chose spots to anchor or harbors that were safe and out of the bad weather, making the experience still enjoyable."
What type of boats are typically used for Italian sailing tours?
Tours use various boats ranging from modern catamarans to traditional vessels. In Sardinia the Lagoon 42 catamaran is common featuring 4 en-suite cabins and open living spaces. Amalfi Coast operators prefer 48-52ft yachts that fit 8 guests in 4 double-share cabins. Companies like Soleto Travel use traditional wooden gulets with 7 cabins for Aeolian Islands trips. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The boat was in great condition. The Bavaria 51 was a delight to sail. Very stable, responsive and fast."
What kind of meals are typically included on Italian sailing tours?
Most tours provide breakfast and lunch on board while dinner happens at local restaurants. The food focuses on local ingredients with plenty of seafood pasta and regional dishes. Aeolian Islands tours often include half-board arrangements where an on-board cook prepares breakfast and lunch. A TourRadar traveler praised: "Paolo cooked food for us and that was some of the best Italian food I have ever had. At harbors he took us to fantastic restaurants and great little bars."
What are the best activities to enjoy during stopovers?
Each stop offers unique experiences from exploring Pompeii to swimming in secluded coves. Visitors can see the Blue Grotto in Capri walk the Path of Gods on the Amalfi Coast visit local wineries or go snorkeling in the Maddalena Archipelago. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "We had the perfect balance of cultural visits, swimming in beautiful bays, and exploring charming coastal towns."
What's the typical group size on Italian sailing tours?
These tours keep groups small with 8-14 passengers per boat. Sardinia's luxury catamarans usually take 8-10 guests while traditional gulets in the Aeolian Islands can accommodate up to 14 people. A TourRadar traveler shared: "With only 8 people on board, we really got to know each other and the skipper could give us personalized attention and recommendations."
