Capri, a tiny island tucked into the Bay of Naples, is a mesmerizing gem with dramatic cliffs, hidden caves, and upscale designer boutiques. The island's charm, signature Mediterranean cuisine, and iconic rock formations make it one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations for luxury yacht charters.
When is the best time to visit Capri on a yacht?
Like all islands in the Mediterranean, the best time to visit Capri is between late spring and early autumn. Should you cruise Capri in May or June, you’ll be greeted with mild and pleasant weather, with the sea warming up and the crowds still relatively manageable. The peak season, or July and August, is the island’s busiest time, with the hottest temperatures (around 30 degrees Celsius and above) and vibrant coastal scenes. You may also run into potential anchorage challenges due to Capri’s summer popularity. And if you don’t want to cruise in intense summer heat? Early Autumn is another beautiful time to visit Capri, with September and October offering pleasant weather, diminishing crowds, and the sea still warm for swimming!

Capri’s culinary scene is as exquisite as its natural beauty, with a world of lavish choices for yachters, like L’Olivo in Anacapri, a two-Michelin-starred gem tucked away from the crowded alleyways of Capri. One Michelin Guide masterpiece worth trying is Il Riccio, nestled on the Blue Grotto's cliff, with a unique seafood-focused dining experience and stunning seafront views. Yachters looking for a fun beach club will love La Fontelina by the Faraglioni rocks, which provides an exclusive atmosphere where the sea is served on your plate.

Why is Capri a great place to visit on a yacht charter?
At the top of your Capri yacht charter list is the iconic Blue Grotto, a sea cave renowned for its luminous azure waters and ethereal ambiance. The Faraglioni, three towering limestone sea stacks, are also an emblematic symbol of the island. They cast a dramatic silhouette in the sea against the sky that wows superyachts cruising by. Don’t miss the ancient Roman Villa Jovis to glimpse the island's past and archeological treasures. Get a taste of local life in Capri Town at its designer boutiques and elegant piazzas. Stroll the Gardens of Augustus for a tranquil escape with panoramic sea views. And when you’re looking to reach new heights?
