Boat Hire in Italy

Private day charters on the Amalfi Coast and Capri with live pricing

Private boat hire in Italy starts from €315.00 with Ahoy Days — more than fifty gozzos, RIBs and luxury day yachts across the Amalfi Coast and the Bay of Naples, each showing a live rate on this page and booking instantly online as a half- or full-day charter.

This is the coastline that invented the boat day: Capri’s Faraglioni and the Blue Grotto, Positano stacked in pink and ochre above its beach, the Li Galli islets where the sirens were said to sing, and Amalfi’s cathedral town wedged between cliffs. From the water it all connects — no coast road, no queues, just the next cove.

Ahoy Days is the day-charter brand of Ahoy Club, founded in 2018 by Ian Malouf and his daughter Ellie Malouf, with its Mediterranean office at Golfe-Juan on the French Riviera. The Italian season runs spring to autumn, and on most boats the captain and fuel for standard routes are included in the listed price — each listing states its exact inclusions.

Where your skipper will take you

Capri & the Faraglioni

Circle the island, swim beneath the sea stacks and drop anchor off Marina Piccola for lunch — the day charter against which all others are measured.

The Blue Grotto

Time it right — your skipper knows the window — and the cave glows electric blue from below.

Positano

The Amalfi Coast’s poster town is best arrived at by sea: anchor off the beach and tender in for a long lunch.

Li Galli

The sirens’ islets between Positano and Capri — quiet water for a swim stop on the crossing.

Amalfi & Atrani

The cathedral town that named the coast, with cliff-backed coves either side that only boats reach.

Sorrento & the Bay of Naples

Depart the peninsula with Vesuvius on the horizon — the classic gateway to Capri.

Ways to spend your day

Full day

The Capri Circuit

Around the island: the Faraglioni, the grottoes, a Marina Piccola swim and lunch ashore or aboard.

Full day

Positano to Capri

The crossing this coast is famous for, with a Li Galli swim stop on the way over.

Half day

Amalfi Coast Coves

Amalfi, Atrani and the quieter beaches only reachable by water — the connoisseur’s short day.

Half day

Golden Hour

Aperitivo at anchor as the cliffs turn amber — the short, perfect version of the Amalfi day.

When to go

The Italian season runs May through September, with June to August at full throttle — warm water, long evenings and the coast at its most social. July and August weekends book out first.

May and September are the connoisseur months: the same water and light with room to breathe, and easier availability on the most-requested boats.
