What affects the price of a day charter?
Boat size & style
A classic gozzo for a small group costs far less than a crewed flybridge yacht. Size, build and guest capacity set the baseline package price.
Half day vs full day
Most boats offer a half-day package of around five hours and a full-day package of around eight. The full day costs more in total but usually less per hour — worth it if you're crossing to Capri or combining villages.
Season
June to August is peak season and books out first; May and September are calmer shoulder months that are often better value. Summer weekend dates are the scarcest of all.
Skipper, fuel & extras
Packages generally include the skipper and standard cruising fuel where listed; longer routes, aperitivo spreads and water toys can add to the total. Each listing states its own inclusions.
Route & ports
Where you start and where you want to go matters — a Positano loop and a Capri crossing take different amounts of fuel and time, and some routes carry port or mooring fees in high season.
