Sorrento sits on the cliffs above the Bay of Naples, thirty minutes from Naples airport by road and under an hour from Capri by yacht. It works best as a tender-access embarkation point rather than a long-stay superyacht berth.

Privacy, pace, and places you cannot reach by road.
A luxury yacht charter Sorrento rewards guests with a combination you cannot replicate from a hotel: total privacy, an itinerary that flexes around your party, and access to coves, restaurants and reefs that road-bound travellers simply never see. Blue Ocean Club curates Sorrento cruises across motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans and superyachts — every option live-priced against the global live availability feed and presented with our 100% best-price guarantee.
Sorrento sits at the heart of one of the world's great cruising grounds. Days unfold at the pace of the sea: long swims off the platform, lunch at a beach club where your concierge has held the best table, an afternoon cruise to a quieter anchorage, cocktails on the bow as the light softens. The captain rewrites tomorrow's plan based on tonight's weather and your party's mood.
We work with a small list of crewed yacht charter Sorrento operators we know personally — captains we have cruised with, chefs whose tasting menus we have eaten, stewardesses who know your children's names by the end of day one. The result is a charter that feels less like a booking and more like a private invitation.
Season, route, hull and investment — the four things every guest asks before we lock a yacht.
The Sorrento charter season runs from late May through early October, with warm settled days, calm mornings and a reliable afternoon breeze. Sea temperatures climb into the mid-20s°C through high summer and the prevailing winds rarely exceed a comfortable Force 4.
Signature anchorages, swim-only coves and a handful of marquee harbours form the backbone of any Sorrento sailing itinerary — your captain rotates between them daily based on wind, swell and the rhythm of your party.
A crewed catamaran in the 50–70 ft range remains the most versatile choice for Sorrento, with shallow draft for tucked-away bays and the deck space families and groups expect. Couples often prefer a sailing yacht of 50–60 ft; larger parties step up to a motor yacht or superyacht with full crew.
Typical luxury yacht charter Sorrento cost starts from around €25,000 per week for a comfortable crewed catamaran and scales to €150,000–€500,000+ for a 40 m superyacht — base rates are exclusive of APA (usually 25–35%), fuel, VAT and crew gratuity. Our charter managers run live availability against your dates and present the best three options, side by side, with a 100% best-price guarantee. Minimum charter duration is seven nights in peak season; short-week and split itineraries are available in shoulder months. Tell us your dates, party size and preferred yacht style and we will revert within the day — by email, WhatsApp or a 20-minute call with the broker who will run your charter.

A handful of signature experiences that define a charter on this coast.





Sorrento gives you the Amalfi Coast without the road. Capri lies directly opposite, Positano is an hour west, and the Punta Campanella marine reserve is on the doorstep. Guests typically stay ashore in Sorrento and join the yacht by tender.
Marina Piccola is a working ferry and excursion harbour with very limited private berthing; larger yachts anchor off Marina Grande or in the lee of the peninsula and tender in. Yachts requiring an alongside berth generally use Marina di Stabia or Naples.
May to October. July and August are busy with ferry traffic; shoulder months are considerably calmer on the water.

“Sorrento is one of the destinations I quietly hope clients ask me about — there are corners of it most charter brochures never show. Late June and early September are my personal favourite weeks — warm water, lighter traffic, and the crews are at their sharpest. Confirm tender landing slots at Marina Piccola in advance during July and August.”

Decision support
The Western Mediterranean is the most infrastructure-dense cruising ground in the world: deep-water superyacht berths, private-jet gateways, Michelin dining and world-class shopping sit inside an hour of each other, and passages between harbours are short enough that guests are almost never at sea when they would rather be ashore.
Who should look elsewhere: Travellers who want empty anchorages, wilderness or a low-key trip in peak summer. July and August are crowded, expensive and heavily booked; the same coast in May or October is a materially different experience.
How long to stay: Seven nights covers the core harbours comfortably. Ten to fourteen nights allows Corsica or Sardinia to be added without rushing.
