Or cruise on a sailboat in Italy and visit as much of the 7,600-kilometer coastline as you can. Italy has dozens of captivating coastal towns and spectacular natural landscapes so you can explore a personalized boating vacation. What makes your mind wonder? A trip completely planned by you and your group with the help of a skilled and experienced captain will surely do the trick!


Cruise around the Italian coastline with family and friends


A sailing trip in Italy is a great way to experience the country with your family and friends. This unique experience guarantees adventure and fun. You can choose to cruise on a catamaran in Italy to discover the dreamy coves, unique architecture and natural landscapes. Or choose to cruise on a sailboat in Italy and feel the adrenaline rush through your veins.

The best part about planning your personalised sailing trip in Italy is that you can choose where to go and find fun places for you and your group to go. From bustling cities to alluring islands, there is something to suit everyone. Enjoy a dreamy vacation full of incredible memories!

Book with a captain and crew to enhance your Italian sailing trip

Booking a boat with a captain and crew is an amazing choice if you and your family fantasize about the ultimate relaxing vacation! Whether it is your first time on the water or you have been sailing for years, a captain will definitely boost your experience. They will know the best sailing spots on the Italian Riviera and will be able to plan a trip based on your desires.

Similarly, your cruise in a catamaran or sailboat will only become more serene and relaxed with a crew onboard! The crew will take care of your every need, so you will not need to worry about household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Depending on the size of your vessel, a crew consists of four or more members. This includes a hostess, a chef and several deckhands - all of whom are trained to provide you with first-class service.


Cruises in catamaran vs sailboat - which to choose?


If you suffer from seasickness, a catamaran is a perfect option for you! The double-hulled structure makes a catamaran much more stable, meaning that anyone can enjoy their sailing trip completely stress-free. On the bow of the catamaran, there is a large net, which is great for topping up tans, watching the shining turquoise waves and spotting new fauna. From sea turtles to octopi, there is such a wide variety of marine life that you are sure to find plenty of new and exciting sea creatures!

Sailboats are single-hulled vessels that are perfect for long cruises and use very little fuel, which often makes them a cheaper alternative. They are very spacious - normally comprising of bedrooms, bathrooms, a galley, a sitting area, and storage space for any belonging, so will have plenty of room for you and your family and friends! If you dream of a cruise on a sailboat, we recommend hiring a skipper, as due to their single-hulled nature, sailboats are more unsteady and harder to sail.


Destinations and routes for your sailing trip in Italy


You can’t explain the Italian coastline without talking about the dreamy cities, towns, and islands that it contains. Boating vacations are ideal for travelers who love freedom and excitement during their trip, or who like the freedom of last-minute changes. You can plan to sail through some of the most popular sailing destinations and change your sailing route along the way.

Lake Garda is another area with a beautiful and unique landscape where you can visit the charming villages lining the shores of the lake.

If you are planning a diverse sailing trip in Italy, you can choose to do a 4-day weekend trip on Lake Garda. Explore enchanting port cities such as Desenzano, Sirmione, Bardolino and Torri del Benaco as you wander through the natural landscapes aboard your cruise.
