Yes, one-day yacht charters are possible in Italy, but they are a different product from a full crewed yacht charter.
Most high-end crewed yachts in Italy are booked by the week in peak season, especially in Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, and the Italian Riviera. Short charters become realistic when the yacht has a gap in its calendar, is already in the right port, or is set up for day charters.
For luxury yacht charters, we recommend planning for at least 3 to 7 days. One-day charters work best for local cruising, lunches, events, or a special day on the water rather than a full itinerary.
