Last updated: September 2026
On this site, 17 yachts of 100 to 115 feet (30 to 35 metres) name Italy or Sardinia as a summer cruising area, and their starting rates run from €45,000 to €140,000 per week. At this size you get a crew of 4 to 6, four or five cabins on most boats, and a proper tender and toy store.
Below are 10 of them, picked to show the range of yards and styles rather than to crown a best boat: eight different yards, sail and power, and builds from 1930 to 2025. The countdown runs from #10, the shortest of the ten at 100 feet, up to #1, the longest of the ten at 114 feet, ranked by the length in feet on each listing; where two share a length, the newer ranks higher. Lengths, guest counts and rates come from each listing as fetched in late September 2026, and rates are weekly charter fees before running expenses: where a listing dates its seasons they are 2026 rates, except ON TIME, whose listing runs from autumn 2026 to summer 2027, and several listings give undated rates. We confirm 2027 rates when we quote.
What 100 to 115 Feet Gets You
Guests. Almost every charter yacht is licensed for at most 12 guests, whatever her size, and at this length most take fewer. Of the 17 yachts in the class that list Italy, 10 guests is the most common figure (6 of them), then 8 guests (5) and 11 guests (3). Only one takes 12.
Cabins and crew. Four or five en-suite cabins is the norm, often with a Pullman berth for a child in a twin cabin. Where the listing gives a crew count it is 4 to 6, most often 6.
Speed. Fast open yachts and traditional displacement yachts sit side by side here. ECLAT and ATHOS list top speeds of 37 and 38 knots; OVER THE RAINBOW OF LONDON, built in 1930, cruises at a relaxed 10.
Who builds them. Sanlorenzo has the most listings of any yard in the class here (3), then Riva, Nautor’s Swan and Arno, the yard behind the Leopard open yachts (2 each). The rest are one-offs, from Perini Navi and Princess to older classic yards. For more on two of those yards, see our Sanlorenzo and Perini Navi pages.
Rates. Starting rates for the 17 run from €45,000 to €140,000 per week, with a median of about €85,000 per week.

What a 30-Metre Charter in Italy Costs
At the top of each listing’s range, the ten run from €55,000 per week (ATLANTIC ENDEAVOUR, one listed rate) and €58,000 per week (HERITAGE M) to €165,000 per week (BELLA DONNA). The three listed for 11 guests, ATHOS, OVER THE RAINBOW OF LONDON and ELYSIUM I, start from €69,000 to €118,500 per week.
Those are charter fees only. Fuel, food and marina fees are deducted from an advance provisioning allowance (APA), an additional deposit added to the charter fee, and the remainder is returned after the charter. Our guide tables use 35 percent as a planning figure, and we confirm each yacht’s APA and any VAT when we quote. Our guides to APA on an Italy charter, VAT on an Italy charter and what a yacht charter in Italy costs walk through the full bill.
Which One for Which Group
Northern Sardinia: ATHOS, whose listing gives Poltu Quatu as her base. Divers: HERITAGE M, with three scuba sets on board; L HIPPOCAMPE also lists diving equipment. A family of 11: OVER THE RAINBOW OF LONDON, whose extra bunks are best for children, or ELYSIUM I or ATHOS, all listed for 11. Covering ground fast: ECLAT and ATHOS cruise at 25 and 28 knots, BELLA DONNA at 23 and ELYSIUM I at 18, against about 9 to 12 knots for most of the rest. A single day on the water: ECLAT, with her day-charter rate. Our guide to where to start an Italy charter helps you pick the port.
